Well, my Sunday wasn't all fussing with that #Aptiva. Spent some quality time with #Zwift admiring my friend's Honda that hangs out here to keep my Bandit company. #cycling #honda #cb750 #cb750k #trainer #garagetime

The IBM BIOS from 1995 is painfully limited, a consequence of specialization. I hereby give retrospective credit to Award and American Megatrends for being ahead of the game. So...how did you spend your Sunday? 😅 #aptiva #pcdos #msdos #ibm

That #Aptiva came with some diskettes, mostly backups but some slacker was playing GAMES on this business machine. Files dated 9/30/91 and include CODEBRAK.EXE, STICKS.EXE, BLOCKS.EXE, DOTS.EXE, HANGMAN.EXE, JACKS.EXE.

Yes of course I used a USB diskette drive to back them up on my server first :-)

The machine also has #pcdos not #msdos as I'd misreported, which is, frankly, neat. I had never used IBM's "ed" editor until now.

BOOM, capture still works. Just poking around what's on this thing. Installed Scifi Classics because reasons. #aptiva #ibm

Found it. In a coffee can. I'm sure that made sense at the time. Well anyway. Now I can capture whatever nonsense I get into on the #aptiva for fellow #msdos or #win31 #retrocomputing nutters out there.

Hello beautiful. Rescued from a defunct church organ repair company's office. #msdos #win31 #ibm #aptiva

@garthbeagle I would recognize it anywhere! Those PS/1 where great PCs. I got myself an #Aptiva Pentium 100 shortly after (still own it, still works!), with the venerable #os2warp 💾 Those were the times!
