@foone I got one with a computer magazine in 2005, with an article on how to assemble it and a long, long listing of PIC assembler to make it do stuff

@foone oh right, you mean just the patterns to make one. Some magazines even included a ready-to-solder PCB

@foone it wasn't a 486, but I remember a forum post from way back in prehistory, when someone would downclock an IBM PC down and down until it stopped working. It did reach a few 100 kHz iirc

@foone I dunno, if it was a unicomp model m, then I'd believe it. Mine didn't even last 10 years.

@whitequark @foone I got a 4x USB floppy drive from japan in box. It was a real quality of life upgrade.

@foone the first microcontroller I got started with had this fun quirk that SDA and SCL was on different sides of the chip, but SCK for SPI was right next to SDA. Fell for that one more than once...

@foone Is that due to tariffs and such? "Global standard direct line" is usually < $10 to sweden
