Slowes machine i used? Was with lynx, on 4 or 8 Mhz box, running FreeBSD 1.1. It had 2 MB ram, and old ISA dial in modem that worked 😛, and a 400 MB drive slave drive, and a 20 MB master drive.
I remember our school lab getting Classics. We were amazed, no more green monochrome AppleIIes! Wow! You could actually change text color and font with this thing -- and what kind of disc do you put in there?! 😀
Also have three of these and an external modem that might work with some upgrades:

At work I have a 75mhz running win95 as a print server in the laboratory. Works really well! Can't remember the last time it was rebooted. It might be a good candidate for the uptime team 😀
Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
