I have an old P133 (80Mb RAM) laptop running win95 that I have just managed to resurrect.
It has no direct internet connection (I don't have a PCMICA ethernet card lying around, so have connected with DCC over a parallel (laplink) cable) - DCC has problems with TCP/IP in win95, and so it's filesharing only with a machine that's then got broadband from the router.
What distributing project might be suitable/best? (And of use to MURC)? The laptop doesn't meet the minimum requirements of distributedfolding, and nowhere near for climateprediction (my two other current projects) - SETI maybe (I think I have another machine elsewhere sitting crunching WUs for me) - but how does this work with no direct internet access?
Any other suggestions?
It's not quick, but it's better to use it than not and it can be on 24/7 unlike my other machines (noise).
Thanks
Gnep
