I've got my birthday present earlier. A working unit of Compaq Contura 430C!

A 486DX4/100 notebook with a trackball 🐁 ~30 years old.

What is most important is that my latest engine works absolutely flawless and with full speed! Success!

p.s. the sound it makes is pure ASMR (floppy, hard disk, beeps.)

It got Windows 95 in German. I formatted that quickly 😉

Now trying to install FreeDOS from a floppies! 💾

Fun fact: most of the time when I swap floppy it stops recognize them, I need to push a sleep button, then wake it up (few seconds!) and then the floppy works as normal. During the installation I needed to do this magic trick few times.
