Slightly off-topic, but the only time I've ever used Windows 3.1 (beyond the odd virtualization experiment every once in a while) was on a laptop with a passive-matrix monochrome LCD, so seeing this OS in color always feels a bit wrong to me.
I think it was a Compaq LTE Lite, likely an early model. It was a relative's device (he's working in the insurance industry) and I was only toying around with it in the late '90s, when it was already obsolete.
Researching this laptop, I found a hilarious contemporary ad that is very full of itself and pulls no punches against the competitors:
These were very expensive, like all laptops at the time, so it's no surprise it's shown being used by executives. I'm impressed by how many now common features it already had. I think they aren't showing the cheapest variant with the passive-matrix display in this video, which looked very dim and unpleasant.

bring back the spigot icon for battery discharge!

No you need a scroll wheel.

now I’m curious what the most powerful MS-DOS machine ever made is
DdCno1@kbin.social 1 year ago
You can still buy new MS-DOS computers, for use with legacy equipment and software, like industrial machinery. The most powerful CPU this company is offering is a Pentium D from 2006:
https://nixsys.com/legacy-computers/ms-dos-computers
For an extra $95, they'll pre-install MS-DOS 6.22 for you, but it will of course only use 64 MB of the 1 GB RAM the machine comes with. That's a luxurious amount already. I've never used more than 48 MB with MS DOS and it was already more than plenty.
Motherboards for the LGA 775 socket were among the last to support ISA cards, which are why companies buy these new legacy computers in the first place. There's machinery out there worth millions and running entire factories, complex scientific instruments or medical equipment that requires interfacing with ISA cards. I've seen this myself and fixed a few of these systems. It's fun to take a machine off the factory floor that has been quietly doing its job for many decades. You wouldn't believe how much of the world is running on truly ancient hardware.
While it would be theoretically possible to e.g. create a new hardware interface and compatible software, this would not only be prohibitively expensive on its own, but require costly and lengthy certification on top, which just isn't feasible most of the time. That's where PCs like these come in. They may seem outrageously expensive given the ancient hardware they consist of, but compared to the equipment they'll be used with, they might as well be free - and on top of that, they come with a warranty, support hotline, etc. - unlike cobbling something together from old parts found on ebay.

I would reckon it would be as powerful as the last most powerful machine to support Windows 9x could be since they were DOS-based.
0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Or WinME. It’s also DOS based… sooo 🤔… PIII I guess.

Memory Size: 640MB
Yeah I’m not so sure it can.
FatTony@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I guess the gameboy edition should run fine.

Ahh, the scrathing sound of the floppy disks at startup 🤤
Coreidan@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Wow so many floppy dicks!
ArousedByJoinery@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Probably. Without Visuals though, you’ll have to settle for the text based adventure Version.
BananaPeal@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Only if you delete system32
VieuxQueb@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
There is already no system32.
