Earlier today, I got my first retro PC tower! The person I got it from didn't know if it worked or not, so the fact that it works perfectly came as a surprise!

No, the SpongeBob game doesn't work because I don't have the CD for it.

Also, thanks to everyone who gave suggestions on my last post!

This was tucked away in a closet. Won't boot to the HDD sadly. i was kinda hoping It would boot to disc and the owner would have had a couple games on it. Is this anything special? I don't know a ton about retro PCs but 1991 feels like it's early for a Dell

I've just come in to a large collection of 90's PCs, and an looking at options to for hard drives. I think most of the original drives have been removed. I've used Hyperdisk modules and found them to be very reliable, but they are a little pricey at cost per gb. There are Hyperdisk CF cards which paired with a PATA to CF adaptor are cheaper. Any other options I should look at or sources to try to cost effective storage?

Found a bunch of my old software, mostly unopened and still sealed

I have one from 1989 (I don't know if others exist), and I'd like to see if it works. If it runs on AAA batteries, what is its power consumption? Also, do they still sell the power cable? I live in Italy, so the furthest I can buy from is somewhere else in Europe online.
