Did you build it yourself? What OS did you use? Did you have internet access?
Feel free to outline the component brand names and model (if you remember them) and let us know if you still have access to the computer.
This was in Jan 1997. It was running Windows 95 (Windows 98 wasn’t released yet). No internet (we got dialup later in the year; maybe in the late summer). It was built by my parent’s colleague (company system admin), I was too young to build my own PC.
*Pentium I 133 MHz *1.5 GB HDD *CD-ROM Drive *FDD *Sound Blaster 32 (remember getting Sound Blaster Live! In the next build). *32 MB RAM *S3 ViRGE 325 (4 MB RAM if I remember correctly).
I think the colleague who built it sold it off when we got a new build.
Only thing I can come up with is a Commodore Pet but the cassettes were just normal cassettes. The memory was about right and the weight is sorta close. Anything else you remember? You’ve piqued my curiosity. As far as round storage like you described the only thing I’ve found was something called DecTape. But those were used on things beasts like a pdp-8 or pdp-12s. Not something you’d have in your house.
