Hmm...

>From memory (they've been in the loft for about 2 yrs!)

ISTR they all have 16MB RAM and either 270MB or 512MB HDD's

(I told you they were old....) but they all have a clean install if Win95,
and they all have a 3COM 3C509 ISA Network card (10MB only!) installed
&
configured to use TCP/IP

However, I do also have a bucket full of SIMM's and 850MB HDD's as well....

Oh, and I think 3 of them are DX2/66's, and one is a DX4/100

- With the addition of the MP3 hardware dongle, all eminently useful as MP3
playback PC's, or as Windows Terminal server clients, or reformated as
Linux
machines...

You might want to replace the on-board VGA with a card with TV Out....

Also, I "think" I attempted to spray-paint one of them black when
I was
testing the feasability of a DIY black PC case a few months ago...

Perhaps further communication re this should be taken off the list?...
email me privately at paul_gordon@xxxxxxx
