In 94 I was graduating high school and starting college and built a 486dx2-66, but I first started with Linux on my AMD 386DX40 before that. I miss those days.

It was 1992.
386DX40, 4Mb ram (huuuuge), 105 Mb HDD, Windows 3.1, CRT VGA monitor that weighed 2 metric tons and took up half an acre of desk space. No other software to clutter up your hard drive and all for the measly sum of $3000.
And I was half-old then.

Färhste einmal mit dem defekt geglaubten 386DX40 zu @BluemanSL und auf einmal will der wieder wie immer. Konnte jetzt bloß wegen formatierter Festplatte und fehlenden Treibern das Problem mit dem seriellen Port noch nicht genauer betrachten. :/

oh my gosh! I still remeber the name -- Acumos AVGA2 (with 512K memory! drivers for Win 3 and WordPerfect 5 on 5'25)))
that's the card I've got with my 1st ever PC (386DX40 4M RAM 120 Mb HDD) in 1993

Updated (in this context downgraded) the setup: 386DX40, 14" CRT, IBM Model M keyboard, an old Logitech mouse, SB 16 Vibra, and a Gravis gamepad

Even with the latest patches some DOOM levels were unplayable on my 386DX40. I especially remember one, can't remember the name, that was a big outdoors area with a ton of cacodemons. Completely unplayable.

Ich habe damals zum ersten Mal selber einen PC zusammengebaut (meine erster, ein 386DX40 von Escom, kam fertig montiert) und die RAM-Chips (oder die Cache-Chips?) falschrum auf das Board gesetzt (was damals noch ging). Damit hatte ich immerhin nicht das Board, aber doch die Chips kaputt gemacht.

Nice! I dabbled with Slackware on a 386dx40. Many discs. CLI only; wasn't able to configure X Window.

Better than my 1993 setup. I had a 386DX40 with 8 MB and 150 MB harddrive. No CD ROM. No soundcard. And only a 14400 bps modem.

This makes me wanna get a 486dx4-100 to run it, because the 386dx40 (with FPU) isn't fast enough to do it justice :(
Dug into Flight Simulator 5.1 after listening to an old DOS Nostalgic podcast about civilian flight sims. Still a really pretty sim for the era and a huge step up from 4.0's EGA graphics.

Yeah, university of applied science for me... Doom LAN parties with 386DX40, Soundblaster and Voodoo, HP-UX boxes in the lab... we have some way behind us. 😎🎸🍻
