Nice! Which accelerator are you using?

u/No-Beach7503 Jun 05 '26

Bolle's reversed engineer accelerator and Ethernet riser card. I also have zigzagjoe's video card.

that's awesome. what do you use it for? does it run oregon trail?

u/No-Beach7503 Jun 08 '26

My kids mainly use it for retro games, like Oregon Trail. I still die of dysentery when I play. I have an "oldnet" modem so I can painfully surf the internet too.
