I've got several different versions of this. They came with the EnCase

and at some point apparently OpenText bought them. I don't do forensics

Didn't see anyone mention it, but one should recall that the whole memory
space on the 8088/8086 was 1M, so a 'limit' (whatever kind) of 640K wasn't
the dumbest computer design decision ever made. In addition to that, Intel

FWIW, I use a password manager (Keepass/Keepass2, tho there are other

have a unique, very strong password for everything I log into.
Greatly reduces the impact of password dump attacks.
I believe SunOS 2.4 is old enough all you need to do is delete the

I'd be mildly surprised if Intel ever made enough from selling i860s

time, Intel was pushing them as their RISC processor, and put

Chuck really has the right answer here. UAR
I've always thought STD-Bus missed a real opportunity here. Small
enough to be cost effective (relative to the size of, say, S-100
(bonus, no stupid power supply issues)), sane, flexible enough bus
structure that I believe there are at least CPU cards using:
- 4004/4040 (pre-standard?)
- 8080/808
