Really if Linus is pleased not to be supporting it I think Tom probably shouldn't spend his time that way. Really we are talking about chips from before I went to Uni, and I'm showing my age. Whilst I applaud Tom's desire not to bin stuff, they'll probably consume more carbon than emulating a couple of extra CPUs on your current machine. Worse still the PCs components are probably all incompatible with modern PCs, so you probably can't reuse memory, disk or anything else. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
