You can install Windows 98 as a virtual machine on your vSphere environment. I first did some trial & error in my vSphere homelab.
I didn’t start directly with gathering hardware and buying shedloads of old stuff. And it germinated, grew, and now the young plant is blooming. The seed of building such an old computer has been planted a long time ago. And for sure the very legacy beige computer cases. Pentium III CPUs, old graphics cards like the Voodoo series, or Creative SoundBlaster sound cards. Many moons ago I stumbled across some Tweets (that was before it was called X) of people gathering old hardware.
But I think you’ll get the point.īefore we go into this topic: it has nothing to do with virtualization. It’s not directly Schrödinger’s computer, both old and new at the same time.
Usually, something is new or old, but it can’t be both.
