Hi Jamse...

> What's the oldest *functional* x86 hardware you have? I'll start.

KSC, Power PC Board, inserted into my A500 expansion slot.
It is a HW PC emulator using an NEC V30. Almost an 80186. ;o)
It runs MS-DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.0 in REAL mode.

> ...And what's the oldest *functional* non-x86 gear you have?

Spectrum 48K bungy KB.
(Oldest unit I ever owned was a Sharp MZ80K.)
My A1200(HD) is circa 1993 and is up and running 24/7 from around early 1996. (Just
relised that is now 17 years, except for power cuts of course... <SHOCK>

It has been the bedrock of my AMIGA development stuff.

My earliest Linux flavour was YGGDRASIL Fall 1995 edition, never ever got it working.
