I am going to see how much use I can get out of it, especially using mini/micro OSes. I
would guess millions of computers are sitting in the basements because they are "under
powered". If they can have an OS & appropriate software to meet the basic needs,
those computers can be saved from E-Waste and serve the needs of the less wealthy :-)
The controller works fine, I forgot about the 500MB limitation of the
i486_systems and was trying to use a 2.3 GB hard_drive. I found a couple of
HDs under 500MB and it is working fine. Thanks for the offer of a Superdisk
drive. I will ask for it later when I am satisfied that this system is
working ok :-)

Where I live, 10 year old desktops are free.
I do not have superdisks to go with the drive.
Can you partition a larger hard disk to 500MB to use with the 486?
