Helba Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 This is a brilliant thread :) Got my first machine in 1995. It was a Packard Bell 386SX. Ran Windows 3.1. Endless hours of Raptor: Call of the Shadows (which I still have... woot.) I think it had a ~500mb hard drive. 25mhz 386, maybe? I don't remember. I think that was it.

RangerLG Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I had a Commodore 64 with the tape drive. I then upgrade to the 5 1/4" disk drive, then finally got a 3 1/2" disk drive. I also had the Commodore 128 and an Amiga 500 before I got my first Packard Bell 486SX-25. Oh the old days of running a BBS with my Commodores. Back when 1200 baud was smoking!

Nicholas-c Veteran Posted February 9, 2007 Veteran Share Posted February 9, 2007 the turbo button was like an extra boost :p its like a button that automatically would overclock your PC slightly, i dont really think it did anything :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
