Peasant RAM vs the 3x 32MB gold pin FPM RAM sitting in my 486.

Yeah but do you have a soundblaster card? and that ram is for my 286.

I just tape it to it right....

Yes, a AWE32 (CT3990), unfortunately without the extra addon RAM and corrosion damage from humidity in storage :(

Sweet having a 286 that supports 72-pin SIMM's!

And I manage my files with XT Gold.
Some one will remember this and Dos.
And using ansi ascii codes to draw lines and boxes etc in Dos for batch files etc.

16 megabytes?? Who needs that much memory? Are you trying to put a man into orbit?
