What's the oldest operational computer you still have?

[RossMAN]

Operational means working (not necessarily used on a regular basis, right?)

It's a tie between an IBM XT with 13" orange on black monitor and Macintosh Plus.

My only computer since I started traveling is a Thinkpad 600x circa 1999 I think. PIII 650, 512mb ram, 40gig hard drive, 13.3 inch LCD. Works great for wireless internet.

I've also got a working Commodore64 and about 5 boxes of 5.5" game floppies.

:shocked:

My car has some sort of 4MHz thing in it.. i forget what model # though, I think it's hitachi or NEC.
or is that cheating?

I still have my Timex Sinclair 1000 with a Z80A CPU. Bought it on clearance for $15 a long, long time ago. It's in a closet somewhere.

same here. Still works fine with the original PSU. :thumbsup:

I had a 16K expander for it, but I don't know what happened to it.

Still has the Dataset tapedrive.

I still got my C128D and it works but I only power it up every few months. Oldest true operational system would be my Dell P133 overclocked to 166MHz with 64mb ram and runs Win2k. It actually performs pretty well for such old specs.

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

There's a 286 and a 386 laying on my bed.

 

[thomsbrain]

it's a frankenstein (made from multiple previous computers) that runs a P166 MMX, 64 MB of RAM (maxed out the board), and has two 1 GB hard drives. I keep Windows 98 on it and keep it in the closet in case whatever my main rig is breaks down and I need to get on the internet to access drivers or order parts or whatever. I sell my main machines as I replace them, but I keep around that old thing as my backup since it's pratically worthless and gets the job done.

 

[DeeKnow]

i've got a Compaq Contura 486DX 25MHz that works perfect... its DX mind you, which means math co-pro built-in !
back at my parents, I still have the Sinclair Spectrum .. cant remember now what cpu it used...

 

[Chebago]

I have a HP celeron 333 with 320 megs of pc66 ram, an old 4 meg ATI video card with svideo out and a 20gig HD used to stream movies to the TV from our other computers.

 

[PhlashFoto]

I still have my brain running since birth.

 

[Monkey muppet]

Working (and still used) comps in my Flat are as follows:

Spectrum ZX
Amstrad PCW9512 (with daisy wheel printer)
Cirix 233, 96mb
Cirit 300, 128mb
G/F (she has some evil calculations and floating points)
1.7GhzThunderbird
3.4 A64, 1gb

a neuronet processor in my head. little over 2 decades old.

 

[Kaieye]

I got a fic va=503+ running almost continously since late 1998 and I plan to ghost the drive in about two weeks to change the cpu fan and hard drive. I have a spare 503+ to use in case my first one doesn't make it. I figure if this computer dies, its going to cost me thousands just to get it up and running again because it is running a rare ISA piece of hardware that came from Germany.
