Playing the original Sokoban (1984) on my first PC. It's a Siemens PCD-2 - 286/12MHz/1MB RAM/CGA Monochrome. Graphics can be switched to Hercules.

Ah, on keyboard test page, it’s revealed that this is for an MD-11. Here’s another few shots of the test pages, and a close up of the single board computer

It’s a 16 bit card in an 8 bit backplane. A Harris branded 286 is visible, and it appears there is 256k of RAM as 4x 256x4 bit chips

@HopelessDemigod Tho it won't run on #i086 or #i286 but I think a #hp #t620 is also okay in that regard...

After all, being able to just shove the entire floppy in RAM provides a super-snappy and fast experience!

And I do have a soft spot for #ThinClients that are #fanless and provide a very cheap - espechally on the used market - computing experience.

Likewise I think more people would learn #Linux if they had more options besides a @Raspberry_Pi to get crackin':

@NotMyBub
Same here, I went from a #TI994A, then a #i286 based #PC clone (an Epson I think), then to a i386 clone. I remember the math floating point support in the #i386 being a big deal.
