Intel Pentium II processor, Microsoft Windows 2000 operating system (but the computer was born with Windows 98 or NT). Is this vintage 300gl quite vintage? It was sold from 1997 to 2000 and is even equipped with 512 MB of RAM and 2 GB of hard disk!
When we talk about vintage computers, we generally think of the commodores of the 80s, such as the Commodore 64, for example. Today, however, we move on to another brand and another period. An IBM from the late 90s!
Unboxing the IBM 300GL computer
When I receive a vintage computer, it is interesting to evaluate how it is packed for transport. This computer was packed very well and arrived safe and sound from transport!
In addition to the computer, I also bought an original IBM keyboard.

Posteriorly, there are: the power entrance and the communication doors with the outside world, such as the serial port, parallel, USB, PS/2 and VGA.
Turning on the computer
Finally the most interesting part of the video! The computer test!
The computer started regularly with the Microsoft Windows 2000 operating system. In the video, I also recorded the sounds when the computer is turned on ... making it an ASMR!
