NA> Just a few cool things? 8-)

OK it ROCKS! 

NA> What specs? Why the desire to go bare metal... other than you're a masochis

running on an Ebay IBM PS/1 486-40 MB with 8megs ram (included in auction)
has a 512M SSD CF ISA Card  and a 3com 509? guess thats right.
The riser card came from Russia (thought that was cool).
Got the case from ebay too its a PS/Value case (so I can use a normal floppy)

I wanted bare metal... um.. oh because Dbridge! 

Also: STARFIELD SIMULATION SCREEN SAVER!!
Also: pretty sure the 486-40 would have a tough time with windows. 3.0 might 
work but thats not even a real multitasker. 

The original plan was to use a PS/2 model 30 (286-10) on OS/2 but yeah im not 
that much into pain. Plus screw that Dallas Clock Chip & the price would 
tripple.
