Thank you for the recommendation! I found the little tactile switch to boot the thing but I haven't tried it. Still need to test the power supply before i try to boot it.

Running it as a daily driver is insane at this point. Using it to run retro software is a non-issue as long as it is not connected to the internet.

Same. I still have my copy of Mandrake 7.2.

Did you turn it on via the console? Because I don't see a power button.

I'm not sure because I don't think i can turn it on with some kind of modification. I don't see a power switch so i'm guessing the console was responsible for that.

I didn't know there's a console with the floppy and disc drives. And it's missing the stand piece but I'm satisfied overall. I haven't powered it on yet because I want to test the power supply and give it a good cleaning first.

I spent 16 years on reddit only for them to screw things up so royally. I'm liking what I'm seeing so far from lemmy.
