I bought a 486 pc. My first since 1994~
Any recommendations for videos/articles into owning a 486 machine?
I have very little idea of how these old pcs work anymore. I remember there being many intricacies.
As for the pc itself, It’s similar to my very first pc.
I was too young to remember the exact model, but it was definitely a desktop form factor and had a 5,25“ disk drive like this one.
