I stumbled upon this Toshiba Satellite 300CDT ('98) in storage yesterday & attempted getting a modern Linux distro working on it. No luck at first, but then I found a 64MB EDO RAM stick taking this to 80MB. It now boots the latest Tiny Core Plus, I even have WiFi working too 👍

@Gammitin Yesterday my work was talking about our 30th anniversary of our website next year. One of the thoughts was getting a system from 95-96 and have the old website running on it. I immediately thought of all your posts.
