I've added a few new (old) machines to my collection. I've also been working on expanding my website www.blackcube.org to include more content. It has a ftp site up and I'm in the process of photographing the collection for display.

This is the list as of today(it seems to keep on growing. I can't turn down an orphaned computer. The latest was the 68030 NeXT Cube and five slabs for free pickup this weekend):

Pentium 90...

Pentium 90...

Dude, it's no fair putting a P-90 on a vintage computing forum... sure we have that metaphorical "10-year-rule" but the consensus is that it doesn't apply to Windows! :)

Any version of Windows from BEFORE 3.x would certainly be considered vintage (in my opinion) ... but the 10-year-rule is superceded by "if it's still mainstream, then it is not vintage".

Even if someone wants to collec the 'first' of every x86 generation, then a P-90 wouldn't qualify -- wasn't the /25 or /33 or /50 or something equally slow the first Pentium generation?
 
That's true. After all, Windows just dropped support for 95 and 98 a couple of years ago. Which really means to me that they technically were beta until about 2000.. :D .
"Beta testing? We don't need no steenking beta testing! Just use the "would you like to send a report" box!"
 
I think Pentium 60 was the first model, a few nominal MHz below 486/66 then. While that PC may not be considered vintage, it may interface and run some applications associated with vintage computing that newer workhorse PCs doesn't (easily); like DOS based file transfer software, older emulators and for that matter genuine PC applications where a low-end Pentium would be the last generation to reasonably run those 386 programs.

What annoys me more are the outrageous prices people ask for their outdated PCs; over here it is not uncommon to see someone asking at least $30 for a P133, $70 for a P2/450 or $170 for a P3/600, all three w/o monitor or licensed operating system. Of course I would not buy for those prices no matter how desperately I needed it. Once in a while there is a 486 for $20 including a 14" VGA. Old Macs however tend to be expected to have less value, maybe $5-10 for any 68040-based system including a pile of books and disks.
