My 486 Computer Booting Up (Direct Capture)

A very quick video, meant to be more for posterity than anything. I’ve never gotten a good capture of this computer booting up, until now. The reason being is that this computer is honestly a big pain to get to boot up -- I have to wiggle the video card in its socket several times, sometimes even needing to reseat it just to get the computer to turn on, and that goes for whether I’m using the Mach64 or the Trident (I’m using the Trident in this video). This is of the computer booting into Windows 3.1. I now have a seperate install on here so I don’t wear out the hard drive from my childhood, using a Compact Flash card (a 2GB one). Pretty simple stuff, but I wanted to get it shared here because frankly I don’t know how many more times I’ll get to see this computer boot up, it’s a fragile piece of equipment at this point. Enjoy!
