Is there some kind of magic about using 3 old computers? When I was a teen in my parent's basement, I remember spending a solid week fucking around with 3 old units I had, networking them together (2 at a time, because I only had one ethernet cable), living on coca-cola and popcorn, and that was an amazing time. I could load a CD on one machine, and play it on the other! Had no speakers, but it still technically worked. Did all sorts of things- Found out what I could do, what I couldn't do, and just enjoyed the tinkering. I just turned 31 and I STILL love this stuff! My first computer was a 386 Win95. Had 2 700 MB hard drives, no sound, no CD (at first), it had been Y2K-proofed, and my favorite thing to do was mess with animations on Asymetrix 3D/FX. My first printer was a Lexmark Z11 (or X11, whichever), took several floppies to install it, and I used up the ink constantly printing out rendered images. Only had one cartridge, either black or color.

MS-DOS based networking was capable of sharing folders. The NET START SERVER command would start this. However the machine was then turned into a dedicated server, no access to the command prompt anymore. Only IBM had a modified version of the MS Networks code that made it possible to run the file server as a background task (much like DOS' print spooler). Novell Netware also required a dedicated file server at that time.

BNC coax cables predate twisted pair, fiber optic and wireless, they are all Ethernet, just on different physical media. Prior to the smaller BNC cables ("thin net" or "cheaper net") there was a larger diameter coax ("thick net") which was the original Ethernet, it used "N" connectors. Both coax cables are 50-ohm nominal impedance; you should *never* use 75-ohm coax for this purpose.

Nice ... fortunately network cards should be fairly easy to come by ... Good luck with your testing and check back if you have any issues. Just noticed your Tandy video ... you should check with kzbin.info as they are doing a Tandy series in September and think they want other people to join

@@RetroSpector78 I remember my school running a Windows NT 4.0 Domain with Windows 95, later 98. And I wanted to know how networking worked and how a Windows Domain worked. Long story short, I had a hard time finding (P2P) NT 4.0. I ended up getting Windows 2000 Server instead and learned Active Directory. I did learn policy editor for 9x systems using poledit. I collected many old PCs and a lot of the old ISA nic cards had BNC connectors along with RJ-45. But at that stage everything was using Ethernet so I never had the chance to do or learn this network topology.

@@McIntec NT 4 domain controllers just work out of the box once the installation of the OS is done, as you can install the services there and then. You still have to play with the odds and sods like you do with windows 2000 etc. Windows 3.51 server is not that different to windows NT4 server either, just as easy but with the 3.x desktop, which you can really thin down. Have a play about and you will have some fun! I use RJ- 45 3com network cards for ease. Plus you can have a go at some old school remote booting too.

to me this is one of the most iconic cases of that era ... I really love it, and especially because in this particular config it has about all of the possible colors that you could find in the nineties :)

ΛLN pc’s from 2003 shouldn’t be that difficult to find. The older ones (286, 386) are more challenging. How did you end up finding this video. Saw a huge spike in views today.
