Found an old Dinosaur: Gateway P5 133 ... in pretty bad shape


Recommended Posts

So my dad found this computer when he was tearing down our old shed on the farm. It's a gateway P5 60. What's sad is I have some old ISA sound cards I recently found and I also wanted to dabble in some DOS (To bring back the good old days). So this computer is exactly what I could have used. How sad.

What I hadn't realized until I started taking it apart, is that the IO on the machines was mounted to the back of the case and connected to the motherboard via a cable. The only IO on that board is keyboard and mouse.

Might want to get your tetanus shot as well as maybe rabies shots updated there @warwagonmaybe a few other dozen shots too after handling that board...
