I took a job running a laser for a company I used to work for, just for a few extra bucks. You see the awesome machine that I have that uploads my programs to the laser....get ready for this, This mofo is a Pentium 66, that's right bitches, old school, the first Pentium ever....basically a 486 DX2/66....which I used to have when it was the baddest CPU on the block.

40 megs of RAM, nizzle please, you fo sho be about ta drizzle from the mizzle ova this bizzle, fo shizzle. Think I may dig out my old Intense 3D Voodoo card and slap in this bad boy.

my dad fixes/builds those lasers (im pretty sure theyre about the same thing) but yeah, they have a comp to program one of em thats pre EGA, thats right, green screen bitches.... i dunno if they really use it, but ive seen it running, so it must do something, lol

btw, i bet u could get descent to run on that thing like a mofo, i made it run on a 486 sx 25 & 12 megs of ram & 1 meg of video memory

and omg, when my dad brought home a used 486 dx2 66 chip, i was the happiest kid in the world

anyway, what kind of parts are u runnin off that laser? (the ones ive seen are set up to do stents) ( http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/002303.htm )

I almost took a job tuning and tweeking lasers for Silicon Valley Group in CT. They build the lasers/machines Intel uses to make their chips. That was at the height of the tech boom. Glad I went somewhere else... Lasers FTW though!!! And ol pc's too. Wink

We do a lot of work for Ironhorse motorcycles here in the DF Dub, but I cut all kinds of crap for other customers. I guess I've been doing a good job, because now they are going to buy a water-jet as well.

oh, It's a Trumpf TLF 2600, K9

Ah cool. I was thinking a different kind of laser when you mentioned uploading it to an old PC. I used to use lasers to map out accident and crime scenes. Had it hooked into an old PC to store it all before I could download to a regular desktop.

Fire, you ever need any spare parts for that PC - look no furtha than "Unkle Massive's Pile O' Crappy Old Hardware" You can have anything that you'll put to use!

I did just fished out 3 complete working PII 550s that are now running Linux (Debian) for various functions - I passed over some P1s, Pentium Pros, and even a few 486s tho Laughing

I even have a monochrome ISA card - bout 12" long! Sadly, no mono-monitor tho Crying or Very sad

I have a Pentium 233, A P2-450, P3-750, P3-933, I think I threw the 486 away last move, there a pile of vid cards in there, a pile of mobos, an assortment of RAM etc.....
