Chunky Onion Has More Daily Fresh Updates

Yesterday, I just recently just got in the mail from eBay is a Maxtor 20gb IDE HDD for my Pionex Pentium II machine. I was originally going to use the disk on module approach with the 16gb one I got a couple weeks back, but the machine wasn’t wanting to read nor write to it. Or rather, not recognize it as a working drive entirely. I tried many different diagnosis for the drive for hours but couldn’t figure out why. I looked up my issue on the internet and to no avail couldn’t find the solution to the problem. So, I decided to bite the bullet and get Windows running, might as well get a good old fashion IDE hard drive that can be easily recognizable for the machine. I know it will natively work on these old machines. I’ll format the FAT 32 drive to utilize the full 20.4gb and install a fresh copy of old school Windows 98.  My old drive that was in this machine originally had Windows 98 Second Edition (SE). I wanted to have the correct OS running on this machine instead of Win 98 SE or OS/2 or even Windows 95. So, this machine is finally going to never get another hard drive swap for a long time now. Only until this drive begins to die out but considering its a ‘new old stock’ hard drive. I hope that it’ll work and will work for years to come. It is quite amazing that you can still find these old drives these days especially discovering it on eBay. The drive was one of those old Maxtor drives, brand new and has 20 gigs! So anyway, I am going to get this machine hooked up and up and running and maybe get it hooked up to a modem to dial-up internet and for the first time in this PCs 20 year life will hook up to the internet.  Or maybe I will get a network card and have ethernet hooked up directly to my wall. Though for now I do know I am going to use my vintage machine as a C programming machine which will have MS Visual C++ 5.0 installed and I’ll be practicing my C programming. I will be also getting a couple a games maybe as well like DOOM 2 and Fallout 2 the list goes on but I will go more in-depth in a later post. Anyway, My windows 98 machine is my second hand PC which is used for coding and also considering I have floppy drives and CD- ROM drives on both my modern PC and my old school one I am able to transfer my data through CD-ROMs and floppy disk. I am excited to get this old school drive spinning up and running!

Also another announcement! I am getting more YouTube videos up not just on Halo 2 I am also doing a WAW video and it is going to be a good one it’ll be uploaded to YouTube soon in a few days to a day depends if I’ll get to it or not… lol! So, I will being going on an upload spree in the next coming days with all sorts of games I’ll record a Nazi zombies game play on World at War and even get some MW2 clips up very soon and definitely Goldeneye Source of course as well , some clips will be voice overs, some will be live commentary and also I will just have game play clips with no commentary. I’m just kind of brainstorming at this point on trying to get fire content on the channel!
