A computing enthusiast has turned the Toshiba T3200SX into a Bitcoin miner.
A developer has managed to turn a laptop from 1989 into a cryptocurrency mining machine, but it won’t be making anyone rich any time soon. The computer in question is the once cutting-edge Toshiba T3200SX, which is powered by a 16MHz Intel 386SX processor and runs on MS-DOS. When it first hit the market, the T3200SX was available at the low, low price of $6,299 (or $13,896 in today’s money). The architect of the mining project, Dmitrii Eliuseev, has published a blog post setting out his process, which included programming his own mining software for MS-DOS (now available on GitHub) and calculating potential earnings over time.
