Update: The HDD is 200MB, not 500MB. Couldn't enter the BIOS setup because of a password. Then I used the board's clear CMOS jumper. Now I can't get into the BIOS setup, no matter what I press! I've installed FreeBSD on a gaming PC to that 200MB drive, then put it in the 486 comp. Result: "Missing operating system" error. > Packet filtering wise, I'd say compared to what I get from chips like Geode > and such, 2 megabit probably, depending on what you're doing. Filtering > bridge was able to top me off at like 10 megabit I think. Too slow. It will have a lot of latency. Plus, there are no cards where I can insert 2 network cables, and I'm not into buying such old equipment. The router thing is out of the question then. So, any suggestions? Or, anything I can DO with this thing? Best I can do is to get some experience and fun with old systems. Can someone direct me to small floppy-based operating systems?
