 Olivetti 8086

This was my first Intel based computer.

  • Born: 1992
  • Died: 2nd July, 2002
  • Specs: Intel 8086 Processor, 640K RAM, 5.25" floppy disk drive, 20MB hard disk, Color monitor, Keyboard.
  • OS: MS-DOS 3.1, MS-DOS 5.0, 4DOS

This machine suddenly died while in use in around late 1995 or early 1996. I suspect that it was due to some kind of power spike. I was unable to fix it and I no longer have space to keep it. I resuced the hard disk, floppy disk drive, the interface card and the PSU fan. The hard disk 5.25" and 1U high. It was attatched to the floppy disc drive. The PSU fan was large and rated at 240V.
