A friend of mine just gave me a computer and I don't really know anything about them, so I was trying to look it up but, I can't find anything on it

. Has anyone here ever heard of a Positive Desktop Computer? Here are some pics of it.....

Yea that has to be very old because it has a really really old floppy from back in the day when they truely were floppy disks my guess is that is a name of a company locally that built it

What exactly are you trying to find about it? With a 5.25" drive and a caddy loading CD-ROM, it's probably a 386, MAYBE a 486... Though I have seen 286's with caddy drives...

Anyway, it might be capable of Windows 95(if it's a 386) but I'd stick 3.11 on it. And with 3.11, there's not much of a need for drivers.

Any reason the pics have a 2003 date on them?
