is it possible for me to get any nerdier? i’m thinking… no. in fact, i’m not even sure why anyone would want to…
anyhow. my newest baby is the following:
a 1995 model group 2 Zenith Data Systems Z-Star EX. it shipped probably some time early 1995 and its stats are as follows:
Win 95
Intel 80486DX2 @ 50mhz
20.0 MB ram
340 MB hard drive
2x type II pcmcia slots/1x type III slot
NiHM battery
9.4″ DSTN color screen
3.5″ floppy drive
1x serial port
1x parallel/printer port
1x com port
and a whole lot of other stats i discovered that no one but a NERd would give a rat’s ass about. it had a fax/modem and an ethernet/modem in the pc card slots, but the ethernet card didn’t have its little dongle/adapter thing, so i can’t use it until i find one. the other thing i’m really missing is a cdrom drive. apparently, they make things called “backpack” drives that hook up to the parallel port, which is very very sexy, but i’m currently overdrawn in every way possible, so i can only hope that i will blow away every single person at the craft show and make a bazillion dollars.
in other news, i’ve switched the URL to my YOUkun blog, so if anyone’s having a hard time finding robot clones, it’s here now. please update any bookmarks you may/not have.
