A look at the Unisys Pentium 75MHz 

I spent a lot of time playing with that Plus Pack back in the day . Nice Machine Thanks for the Video

CD rom drives with headphone output and volume control... My absolute favourite

I think we all used the 'Jungle' theme at least once back in the day, complete with the sound effects. I was always fond of the 'Inside Your Computer' theme the most though.

I like the old look of windows 95, it’s oddly nostalgic even though I grew up on windows 2000 and XP service pack 3.

I don't think I've ever seen a Pentium motherboard with L2 cache in the DIP-chip format like you typically see on 486 boards. Neat.

Nice FIC PT-2000 Board. Didn't know they had green boards before changing to yellow.

excellent machine, many memories with the pentium 75 mhz, fortunately I have seen many of the series. great content, greetings from Argentina.

With all the craziness about 3090 Ti....this is a relaxing video to watch

Nice trip down memory lane, it kinda remembered me of the Olivetti pc's of those days as they looked very similar I seem to remember 🙂

Amazing Retro PC!👍🖥️

The dual PS/2 ports & hard drives are a nice touch!

I had a Unisys 486 box that I purchased from eBay a while back. I LOVED the case style of that thing! Mine was a much slimmer profile and was so clean looking. I wish I hadn't sold it!

That computer should be running must faster than it is, probably bogged down from bloatware etc. I had 486 during the same time period and it had no issues with even the underwater Screensaver

Excellent Video.

Yes old stuff ☺ Saludos desde Mexico !!

nice, i love my win 95 cougar sounds too

A unisys, beautiful! I actually have 3 old Sperry PCs here that I need to get up and running. This is like their grandchild.

J'aime vos vidéos sur les vieux ordinateurs. Laissez-les venir !

The motherboard is a FIC PT-2000. The latest known bios update for it is from 1997

It's not "booring looking" at all, the entire aspect it's perfectly balanced, as all things should be. Plus, those stripes just scream nostalgia at you!

I had one Unisys computer back in the day, think it's model was Aquanta DL. Pentium MMX@166MHz, 64MB of RAM and Windows 98. Had 2 USB ports even!

Is a beautiful PC.

looks awesome, as always, thanks for the video,,I really enjoy your channel. I install 98plus to all my retro machines..

Looking up the FCC ID, it looks like this was made by "First International Computer, Inc.".

Can we please see more about the 2 compaq deskpro systems in the background? One of them should be the 2000/4000 series!

This entire room needs a good retrobrite

That's a very cool time capsule. I'm guessing that was an office machine? I say that because offices were notorious for getting the cheapest pc's they could that would still do the job

Might want to check the acceleration slider in the advanced display settings. Wouldn't expect a p75 to redraw the wallpaper that slowly.

I was wondering why I couldn’t hear the hard drive seeking and then you showed the inside and it was Fujitsu drives, two of them at that! The seeking of these is actually very faint compared to other drives of the era. Was one of them bad? When the PC booted it only listed one of them (maybe the BIOS was miss configured though). I have a Pentium 75, and it runs better than your PC did here, so yeah the install was probably bloated, with a new install it would probably run much better I guess.

Have that same mobo, i guess those were some more customized ones motherboards.

I used to work on these they were rebadged acers We had a pizza box model too (small form factor) for commercial market

I have the compaq armada 1530dm laptop with windows 95 but unfortunately not the sound drivers for that ess chip..someone removed the cd rom drive and all I have is the floppy drive....wonder if I can find a floppy driver disk for that sound chip? Certainly haven't found a cd rom drive on ebay anywhere.

Unisys was a quality brand.

I'd love to throw a 3DFX card in this just to see how far the system can be pushed in games.

brings back memories of me doing a windows 95 install on a 75 with 8 meg. My good god it took nearly all morning to install windows 95 on floppy. Only for the HDD to give up mid way through lol. Also that's a 1st for me too seeing PS2 instead of AT keyboard connector, on systems like these. you normally would get PS2 connectors on odd ball systems as i call them of that era. Also down grade it to windows 3.11, and you find it will be quick.

Just a heads up in case you're interested. There's an eBay listing from the Netherlands for a new Conner CP-2064 laptop drive, 60MB.

Can anyone tell me what ISA vga card and what type of monitor I need for an old 8086 486dx setup? Found my old desktop from my childhood in my parents storage building. It powers up but I can't get video. I think the card is possibly bad, but it could be that I have the wrong monitor. The oldest CRT I have is an emachines from 99. Give a dummy a clue.

I miss when computers were cool.

"We looked at the indoor airconditioner box for design inspiration"

Interesting... this is the first time I see such a PS/2 config- I had/have (again) an Intel Zappa board, and was surprised at the time Windows 95 detected a PS/2 mouse port - which I wasn't aware I had! Turns out this port could only be used when the voard was configured by factory with it - I had an AT style DIN connector instead. About Win95 and the speed: I'm pretty certain your issue is the lack of RAM, not CPU power, here. Beginning with 32 MByte, Win95 is nice to work with...the 16 are likely not enough, and the system's main task is now swapping (moving [un]used data between RAM and disk) - creating all the loading and stuttering effects you perceive.

Educational video always appreciable gaining the retro experience mark to the top. Lol

in the 90s, assembling, troubleshooting or setup of PCs is like rocket science, lot there's a lot of any peripheral devices you can choose to plug and test on the motherboards. Nowadays is somewhat "boring" because everything is on the motherboard now..

My favorite kind of episodes: to discover another classic PC

Very nice video for a superb computer (which would deserve a good redrobright session to get back to its full glory) ! Regarding the PS/2 connectors on the motherboards, that was quite common at this time on brands such as Dell or Gateway 2000. All my Gateway 2000 boards based on Neptune or Triton chipset are AT, and get the same PS/2 connectors at the exact same place. This is very convenient and you don't have to use a serial DB9 mouse !

is it just me or do the front panel LEDs not work?

i block and skip all ads possible :)

75MHz in 1995 seems like an incredibly slow clock speed by that point in the 90s

9:10 Out of the two hard drives, one is marked with a "Belgium/French" sticker on the top left, and the other "Belgium/Dutch" What can be that be referring to?

2 harddisks but only one configured in the bios? That's odd?

No turbo button? FAIL! LOL!!!!! Ah I remember that Win95 Plus Pack. Yes, I went bonkers and messed with the various sounds to make Windows sound completely ridiculous.

I still don't know why so many OEM's assembled that Toshiba CD-ROM drive in their pc's.

I used to work for Unisys, but only after they stopped making hardware and was just a tech support call center for other companies. It always gives me a little jolt when I see their name on actual PCs.

i had a socket 3 pc in the family i could use (486dx 33mhz) and then much later a socket 7 pc (cyrix 100mhz) back in the day but never had any socket 5 or early pentiums to play around with. these things are so cool to me. they always seemed a step above anything we could afford, a very premium option. i'd love to have one and install an SSD to speed things up and put in a relevant ISA sound card. it would make a really fun dos gaming PC. as cool as those 500mb drives are, i bet in terms of seek time they are slow old dogs :P

It's amazing to think that my Smartphone is more powerful than that Pc now. I can run 486 emulation and even install Windows Xp in the emulation and run all the software I still own from those days. My first PC was the Commadore 64 followed by every upgrade from the IBM 286-386-486 and so on as they came out year after year.

always hated the MS-plus back in day .. i always removed it as just slowed down 90's computers considerably

I'm so old I remember when they were called Sperry! If you say Sperry today, people would think of shoes. I love the look of that machine. 8)

where are you.....waiting and waiting.....

you can slam voodoo1 in it and play some cool games like turok, quake or gta ;)

I had never heard of an otherwise AT-standard motherboard with PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports onboard, until one of Adrian's Digital Basement ]['s videos (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GDOp32LZB-4.html @8:40). Now not long after that, I watch this video with the 2nd I've ever seen/heard of. Every motherboard I was aware of with PS/2 keyboard/mouse ports on the motherboard pre-ATX was a fully proprietary, non-AT-standard motherboard. Very interesting.

1:51 Number nine? I'm 64? Beatle references?

There looks to be something wrong, I feel it was slower than the 486/SX we had.

The good old Win95. I had this OS on my 486 from DX2@66 up to 133. And it ran just fine. As memory I had 24M (2x4+2x8M) FPM and it impacted the OS fluidity quite a bit; it was mostly a single task computer. When i swapped the memory stick from 4M to 16M for a total of 48M, man, it was like a wake-up for Win95. Snappy, responsive, no swap accessing, and with my Trident TGui VLB with 2M VRAM, it was a new computer. I would suggest to upgrade the amount of RAM to 32M or even better, 64M for the best performance. The new owner and Windows 95 will thank you.

The "good" old days of damned jumper settings required for everything.

PCI sound card in a Pentium 75? Really wouldn't recommend that.

I'm fiirs.... T.... Oh, wow, I'm eleventh.

Windows 95 ran much faster on a 486DX4-100. Why?

Generic Award BIOS

Can you try to not touch the PCI contacts? It’s no big deal but skin oils don’t belong there.

So slow

"Master" and "slave" is RACIST :P
