I think what makes these old machines more impressive is all the physical ports and other hardware they manage to fit on them, nowadays the majority of peripherals are connected with usb ports and micro SD cards are incredibly versatile and even without either of those the infamous cloud magically connects everything through your wifi, it's harder to see just how miraculous our modern machines are with how small, streamlined, or entirely invisible everything is

I use an old "Phone Line Simulator" for my phone line needs. Very handy. Skutch makes one as well as Viking Electronics. Sometimes can be a little pricey. But invaluable for old computers. Believe it or not I use my Skutch to transfer files to/from old PC's. Like a traditional modem connection but with my own phone lines. Phone guys used to use them for testing back in the day.

@@AlejandroRodolfoMendez Hrm, I don't know of any tutorials per se, however it's quite a simple process. The phone line simulator at minimum has 2 lines. So if you had 2 phones, plug one in the first jack, then a second in the other jack. The moment you pick up the first phone, it immediately starts calling the second phone without you having to do anything. Now if you were to use 2 computers and 2 modems, simply use any dial-up terminal program and type in the serial command ATS0=1 on the "answering" computer, then type in ATDT on the "calling" computer. They will automatically call each other and make a connection. If it's of interest, I can show you a demonstration.

Hi Clint! Keep awesome vids going! You are doing wonderful job! As for your question about boot process on 15:00 of this vid, the reason it is displaying Win95 splash screen is because it is part of IO.SYS of DOS 7.0. In other words - this software seem to be just sitting there as last option in autoexec.bat and interrupts the standard boot process of Windows 95 - as DOS part boots, then it runs this toolset and once you click start Windows 95 it just finishes execution of autoexec.bat and continues to boot Windows. :)

So what I did was dedicate a zip disk for each catagory of application. For example, I installed Corel Draw 6 and paint shop pro to one of them. And a second one was dedicated to programming, with compilors and assembler/editors etc. Because it was a SCSI device it ran almost as fast as my internal system drive.

My grandparents mentioned that a lot of people in a neighborhood (they did live in a rural area, even then) had some type of system to time when they could use the phone, and if you picked up the phone you could hear your neighbors during their time. Was like a time share for a voice line. o.o I need to ask them about the details again next time I see them. I last heard it probably 20 years ago... it's a good thing to remember how far we've come.

Cell2Jack will provide dial tone to old land lines. It is a little box you Bluetooth to your cellphone, then it has an RJ11 jack on it. You can make and take calls on any landline phone with it.

A magicjack uses a regular phonejack. I used one to test an old Panasonic answering machine and old rotary phone ringer. You can test a phone ringer with one of those. It's basically a "landline" for your PC.

I'm pretty sure I watched the original LGR video and I think it's awesome you liked it so much that you bought one for yourself. More people need to know just how long age we had a real smartphone. And that IBM made two different models BEFORE Apple, or even Blackberry and Handspring were even sold on the idea. 💁🏻‍♂️📱

Oh man.. that Win95 Startup sound takes me back. I still remember how excited I was to finally install and run Windows95 for the fist time. I even took a sick day at school. People who haven't experienced the Win95 launch might not fully understand just how HUGE this was back then. It was the beginning of a new era that still lasts today.

It kinda confuses me there's kids who take interest in this older tech; but no interest in the systems of the time to interconnect them; just assume all this infastructure they enjoy was just always there; standard, and what we used. The physical tech changed over time so why wouldn't the methods of connecting it too?

@LGR about the phone line thing. I once was at a nurse who had to take my bloodpressure, those young'uns you know. So the cords and hoses all tangled up just like a coiled telephone cords. So she said "sorry, it's all tangled up. Give me a minute" and I replied "yeah, reminds me of the coiled telephone cords remember how they always got tangled too?" and she was like "What's a telephone cord?". I swear to you that just like you reading those comments, I could simply feel the grey hairs popping up on my head and was about to wonder where my walking cane went. Instant aging right there on the spot. One of the worst feelings ever. 😅
