I have a 3/50 up and running diskless at home, but I have not attached
any keyboard or monitor to it. I have them, but I have not tried them
out so far.
It swaps as soon as you look at it. It is very useless.. :-)
It takes 10-15 minutes just to launch emacs.. It wouldn't hurt to
have 4MB more memory... =20
According to the date on the back, it was manufactured on February 16,
1988. In other words, it had its 10th birthday yesterday. Yes! I
made a cake at home and celebrated!
Anyway, I can build kernels for it if nobody else like to do it. Just
give me a suitable config-files and tell me where I can ftp it.
