LGR - Exploring Two Late 80s Packard Bells (Patreon)
Content
Packard Bell! It's a company name that always instills happiness in my soul, despite my brain knowing they weren't... eh y'know. Always quality.
Whatever! I enjoy them and I'm always tempted by machines I've never used before. So I imported some nifty late '80s PB XT clones from Canada a while back and finally got around to opening up the danged box and taking a closer look at them. And that's what this video consists of: unboxing, exploring, testing, and enjoying some old school PCs to the best of my ability. There's certainly more work to be done here in the end, but I think this is a fun start to a couple of future projects.
Hope you enjoy this retro diversion! I was really happy that at least one of these darned things actually sorta worked, ha. And yeah I'm still working out my new recording setup(s) so I hope the reverb and suboptimal camera angles weren't too distracting. Thank you for your ongoing support!
