My advice: buy an old desktop computer. Buy a
standard PC floppy drive
(a dual drive if possible to give both 3.5 and 5.25 support).
Hmmm.
a modern laptop for connecting to the interwebs.
with sneaker-net of thumb drives to:
a 386 desktop running Win98SE (first version to support USB), with floppy
drives.
THEN, the entire collection of fun machines.
