In this session I used an old MS-DOS based diagnostics software (PC Diagnostics '95) to test both computers. All went good, but the pentium// needs a new CMOS battery.
Also, the 400MB HDD from the 486 sometimes has trouble to wake up! :/

| The 486DX33 Osicom Desktop computer, working like a tower in this case to save space. I removed the stickers to apply retr0bright sometime soon. |

 |
| Some CPU tests |
 |
| The "failed" on the motherboard test was the PS/2 mouse. It wasn't connected. |
 |
| All fine with the keyboard controler. |
 |
| Direct Memory Addres controlers |
 |
| Testing base memory |
 |
| The extended memory. This system has an odd 20MB RAM. (16+4) |
 |
| Testing Cache memory |
 |
| I don't have an LPT loopback connector. It obviosly failed this test. That's fine! |
 |
| Same for de serial ports. |
 |
| Disk Controllers |
 |
| Floppy |
 |
| IRQ table. I can see IRQ11 on the network card. That will be useful! |
 |
| The lazy Maxtor HDD passed all the tests! humm... |
 |
| Network Card |
 |
| Memory Map |
 |
| The integrated Cirrus Logic Card. Only 512KB VRAM. That explains why I can't run WinNT3.1 at 800x600 256colors I guess! :( |

| All Ok!! Lets go to Windows now! Booting... |
 |
| Very important to password protect this dinossaur! LOL |
 |
| This is how I used to arrange my desktop back in the early 90's! :D I used Windows 3.1 though! |
 |
| The Pentium 2 - 400Mhz - In a Suprides Tower case from the late 90's. This one is in very good shape and color. |
 |
| This software only detects 64MB of RAM. I guess it's to old. The computer has 192MB. The Bios detects them and Memtest86+ approves them! |
 |
| All good with the MB! |
 |
| The Bios is from 1999 - I don't know if it was updated somewhere in time or not. |
 |
| The network card has no IRQ assigned to it. Got to fix that. |

 |
| The graphics card is a Matrox Productiva G100 |
