I don't mind the PIII so much if it's on a 440-series chipset. I suppose I
hate chipsets of that era more. ;)
My PII was made around the time as my Netra t1
105. Both are still 100%
functional. I don't like any PeeCee hardware that is Pentium III or later.
It's just absolutely unrealiable garbage! I just /do not/ trust it. If I
don't check it for a month I want my systems to not throw any crazy errors.
Only my Pre-PIII systems I trust to not give errors in that time period (this
is only talking about PeeCee hardware).
That's a *fascinating* line to draw. The PIII is a minor tweak to the PII
design and nothing revolutionary that could affect reliability. Way back when I
was using such systems instead of tossing them into the skip, the PII and PIII
cartridges were pretty much interchangable.
