Considering 90% of all portables are old consoles you are either ripping your brother's one apart without his knowledge or you are getting them for a steal at a yard sale. Tell of your great deals that you have stumbled upon.

- 4 40-pin ribbon cables for $1. One of them had 8 ports for hard drives.

- Sega for $5.
- 30 Sega games for $10
- Playstation (first gen) for $10

A black trash bag of Atari 2600 stuff for $5.

A guy at school gave me a "broken" GBC (needed to re-solder a speaker connection)

He considered a lack of sound 'broken'? Jeez, I usually play with the sound off regardless.

a 8088 complete system....computer people know what i mean

Post by **bicostp** » Mon Apr 18, 2005 6:50 pm

Dude! That's newer than the Space Shuttle computers!

Non PC junkies- an 8088 was one of the earliest PC processors made, next to the 8086. It ran at 2 megahertz tops. Since then we have had (in ascending order) the 286, 386, 386 SX, 486 SX, 486, pentiums 1, pro, 2, 3, and 4. Note: this list is incomplete and does not cover any processors besides Intel.

What computers do they use in the space shuttles anyways?

PC's without windows. Which is why they only crash with human error or divine intervention.

Do they use a flavor of UNIX, or some other archaic OS?

Post by **bicostp** » Mon Apr 18, 2005 7:10 pm

I think Columbia used the 8086, Discovery has the 8088, and I think the rest have/had the z80. (Not sure, just a guess.) Or they could all have one of those processors. At any rate, you couldn't give any pcs using those processors away to homeless bums in the Bronx, they're so bad.

All of those PCs ran early versions of DOS or CP/M, possibly Unix.
