I’ve got it covered :) - whole duplicate set of hardware & drive image. Recapped the board last year & replaced PSU too.

I won’t touch the DOS software it uses to actually run the plant, the lads can have at that.

Design/machine people are a wholly different breed of user…

CS1.6, beige boxes, CRTs and sweat. A different time.

I am yet to see load bearing cat in person. Plenty time yet though!

When you tug the unusually weighted cable and you hear metal scraping in the wall 10 metres away 😬

Hope it wasn’t too much of an arse to fish out. Or did you let sleeping switches lie? :)

What rack, haha.

Stuffed in a corner, under a load of other crap, in a warren of dust bunnies. Main rack is in an adjacent office.

This one must be about 15 at least. Pre-dates me and I’ve been there for 13. Still functional so I’m at loathe to just sling it. Not fond of doing drops in such wonderful weather, in a building that is basically a dusty hot tin can. Wanted to do it properly though.

Just happy that on this side it’s my direct employer and only one site. I’ll have to do some more digging - I’m certain we have kit around even more legacy than this. The CNC lathe PC is y2k compliant…

It’s going straight in the “if you’re looking in here, you must be desperate” spares cupboard.

It was fast enough up until today even!

Factory setting (says it all really).

A CAD PC and a standard client used by the QC guy.

Server 08 isn’t a distant memory here though 😬
