   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.
