A list of computers I worked on

Before computers were given names, I worked on:

graveyard

A sparc station, which was assigned to me when I started working on the TransCoop project on June 15, 1994. I used it till August 15, 1994, when it was replaced by the rosarium. It was known as the graveyard.cs.utwente.nl on the Internet.

annabel

December 1994 we bought our first PC from the CIV-shop at the University of Twente. A Mini Tower Highscreen 486 DX2-66 with: Through the years, I made a large number of modifications to this machine. Below a short history:

rosarium

A Sparc Station IPC with black/white monitor, which I got as an replacement of the graveyard on August 15, 1994, when I worked for two months for the TransCoop project. I used till around June 24, 1997, when it was replaced by the whitehouse. It was known as the rosarium.cs.utwente.nl on the Internet.

T1000

A Toshiba T1000 laptop, which I bought in February 1996 second-hand from a student at the University of Twente after having placed an announcement in a local news group. One of the first things that I did was writing a program for exchanging files with Linux on annabel.

I used it extensively when I just needed to edit some text files. I brought it with me on our trip to China in the summer of 1996, where I used for writing my online diary, writing the initial version of the Acorn Atom emulator, and reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. We left it with our family in Urumqi, China.

andy

The second PC we bought on September 24, 1996 from Dynabyte Enschede. An Ollivetti Envison P75 with: Quite a strange PC. Apparently, intended to be placed in the living room, because it was sold without monitor and it did have a scart plug on the back. Actually, on the back it did have many connectors, including midi in and out connectors. Also on the front it had a clock display, buttons for the CD-ROM drive, and there was a lid before the floppy drive. It came with a wireless keyboard with a build-in track ball. Most of the specially functionality is integrated on a custom made mother board. The machine apparently was introduced a few years too early, I am afraid. When we bought it, it was on sale.

At first we connected it to our TV through the video recorder (because our TV did not have a scart connector), but that was not a great success. Within a few weeks, on October 5, 1996, we bought an additional monitor from ESCOM Office in Enschede, a 15 inch 7156E monitor with serial number 9000799819.

Later, I concluded that it was not a good investment to buy this machine. One of the main reasons for this, is that the build in video card was rather limited in its abilities and had some defects which made it impossible to play almost all of the CD-ROM games that I bought for Annabel.

When the computer needed a name, I named it after my son Andy.

In the fall of 2000, I installed an additional 8 Mbytes of ram, which improved the overal performance a lot.

On Saturday, March 10, 2001, connected it to ester by means of a Multi Player Gamers Network Kit by Sitecom, which provides a 100 Mbit ethernet connection using a cross-over UTP cable.

For a long time we used it to connect to the Internet, but on Saturday, October 27, 2001, this task was taken over by ester. By this, it is no longer our main working computer. Lately, the monitor attached to it, also seems to go wrong. Occasionally, the screen will go black for a second. It seems that the HT-unit is flashing. On January 1, 2002, I replaced the monitor with the Philips Brilliance 15A monitor. I also connected our scanner to it, making it into our "scan" computer.

On Saturday, August 16, 2003, we moved this computer, including the attached printer, to the bedroom of Annabel.

On Saturday, May 14, 2005, I removed the monitor and connected it to lixia.

On Friday, August 12, 2005, I moved it from the bedroom of Annabel to the attic, because it is no longer operational without monitor.

On Monday, December 26, 2011, removed hard disk, netword card and memory modules.

On Monday, January 2, January 2012, I disposed of this computer.

whitehouse

A Sparc Station IPX with a colour monitor. I got this machine as a replacement of the rosarium around June 24, 1997. It was known as the whitehouse.cs.utwente.nl on the Internet.

c3u07

A Silicon Graphics workstation, which I used all the time that I worked with my employer from August 1997 till April 1999. (You won't believe it, but the last time I saw this machine on August 17, 2001, it had been up and running for more than 500 days without being rebooted.)

a702274

A "Dell OptiPlex GX1" with: I used this machine from April 1, 1999 till early November 2000.

a682619

A "Compaq Deskpro 5133".

a697873

A "Dell OptiPlex GX110" with: I started using this machine on October 26, 2000 and used it till the July 5, 2001, the last day with my employer. Shortly after I left, a ex-colleague took the 128 Mbytes of memory out, and put it in his own machine, giving him a total of 256 Mbytes.

ester

We ordered this computer on February 17, 2001 with FunPrice. On Saturday, March 3, 2001, I got it from the shop. This computer has the following configuration, besides the normal stuff: Originally, we ordered a 30 Gbyte Seagate Baracuda-2 7200 RPM hard disk, but we got the Maxtor. At home, one of the first things I did, was opening the machine to have a look inside. In the evening, I removed the seagate ST51270A hard disk from the annabel, and installed it as a slave on the first IDE bus. Of course, I also had to borrow the Highscreen MS 1460P monitor from annabel. The name of the this computer is the same as the middle name of Annabel, our daugther.

On Saturday, March 10, 2001, connected it to andy by means of a Multi Player Gamers Network Kit by Sitecom, which provides a 100 Mbit ethernet connection using a 8 meter cross-over UTP cable.

On Saturday, October 27, 2001, I made this into our primary machine. I hooked it up to the modem (from andy), and installed the second hand CD-ROM drive from annabel.

On Saturday, November 16, 2001, I added a 256 Mbyte memory module, which I bought for less then 50 USD, just before the prices went up again. (This means that the main memory can now hold up to 1.2 billion bits of data.) On that day, I also removed the CD-ROM drive, and replaced it by a 16x speed Sony CD-ROM drive, a model CDU571 with serial number 2349626, manufactured in September 1997, which I bought from my company on Tuesday, November 13, 2001.

On Sunday, February 24, 2002, I discovered that certain types of CD get stuck into the Sony CD-ROM drive. So, we temporarily used the 10 speed CD-ROM drive again during the day. On Saturday, March 16, 2002, I upgraded the firmware of our Iomega CD recorder.

Monday, March 25, 2002, I bought a Lifetec® digitizer tablet and hooked it up to this computer

Monday, April 23, 2002, I upgraded the BIOS to W6330MS version 3.2 of 112901 17:20:54. I alse replaced the graphics card by a ASUS V7700 TI Deluxe. I spend almost two whole day to get the video capature abilities to work. Finally, I got it working when I discovered that I should not fix the card with a screw onto the back of the computer.

On Sunday, April 28, 2002, we moved this computer to the kitchen table.

On Sunday, September 5, 2004, the CD-ROM burner broke down. It looks like the laser is broken. The next day, I bought a new 52x52x24 burner for € 30 from Funprice and installed it in the evening. I did open the old burner, just to make sure that the troubles had not been caused by dust or something like that.

On June 12, 2005, the Highscreen MS 1460 P Monitor, which was attached to it, died, and I connected the Philips Brilliance 15A monitor till June 18 when I attached the Acer AL1913 TFT monitor to it.

On July 9, 2005, it swapped places with lixia, and was put under the computer desk, and attached the Philips Brilliance 15A monitor to it again.

On July 9, 2006, in an attempt to reorganize the main drive, I lost a lot of old data.

On January 8, 2008 it became very instable experiencing reboots and lock-ups almost immediately after starting. On January 13, 2008, I had these problems fixed again.

On December 22, 2008, I moved it to the attic, because two days earlier, I placed lixia at its place and it was placed on the table in the living room.

In the evening of March 27, 2009, I secured some data from this computer, which required some little hacking.

On Sunday, July 4, 2010, I moved the 52x52x24 burner into lixia.

On Sunday, August 11, 2013, I dismantled it.

On Tuesday, August 13, 2013, around 14:45 dumped it (without hard disks).

bogdafeng

A computer with: I started using this machine in July 2001, when I started to work with Telic Logistics International. I had to give it a name of a mountain, which made me think of the Bogda Feng immediately. The last day I worked on it was April 19, 2002.

FransXXXX

I had never dreamt of giving a computer the name of myself, but appearently, at current employer this is the common practice. In a way it is also not too bad, because I have never found it easy to remember who is on which machine. I started working on this machine on May 15, 2002 after it arrived in the morning. Worked on this till February 12, 2004, when it was replaced by the computer below.

Frans

This computer replaces the one above. It arrived on February 12, 2004. On April 11, 2008, it was replaced by Frans2008.

lixia

On Saturday, May 14, 2005 we bought this computer from Media Markt. This computer has the following configuration, besides the normal stuff: Besides this, we also bought a Pinnacle Studio AV/DV PCI card for video capturing, with Pinnacle Studio version 9. At home I placed it on the low table in the living room, and attached the Philips Brilliance 15A monitor, which I took from andy, to it.

On Monday, May 16, 2005, we placed it on the computer desk in the living room for the time being, and attached the Philips Brilliance 15A monitor to it. We watched some DVD on it. From June 12 till 18, 2005, it was temporarily without monitor.

On July 9, 2005, it swapped places with ester, and was put under the kitchen table, and attached the Acer AL1913 TFT monitor to it.

On September 30, 2005, I encountered some serious problems when trying to run Uru: Ages Beyond Myst, which I was not able to resolve. Also downloading a new version of Catalyst with drives for the graphic card did not resolve the random crashes that occured about every five minutes.

On March 15, 2006, this computer started to have some serious startup problems. It can only startup in safe mode. It took me a lot of trouble to get it working again. I continued working on this on March 17 and march 18 On March 19, I ended up with a clean install having to reconfigure and reinstall many things.

On May 29, 2006, I installed a new 232 Gbyte harddisk as drive Q:.

On November 24, 2006, this computer was moved to the room of Annabel.

On January 6, 2008, attached the Canon MP 520 all-in-one printer to it.

On December 20, 2008, this computer was moved to living room again to replace ester

In the evening of March 27, 2009 I did some little hacking.

On January 25, 2010, Annabel moved the Acer AL1913 TFT monitor upstairs to her room and used it with Anne-Ester for some time.

On Sunday, July 4, 2010, I installed the 52x52x24 burner from ester.

On Sunday, July 11, 2010, it started to have some serious problems (again). It is resetting during the Windows start-up. I don't know what's the cause of the problem. Maybe reinstalling Windows might solve it.

On Saturday, February 18, 2012, I reinstalled Windows XP.

On March 15, 2012, attached the Acer AL1913 TFT monitor again.

On September 18, 2012, around 19:40, I removed said monitor, because I broke it. Attached the Samsung SyncMaster 223BW to it.

On March 5, 2014, I disposed off the Samsung SyncMaster 223BW and on March 9, 2014, I connected the HP LP2065 monitor to it.

On September 25, 2018, I started this system to backup the harddrives.

On January 8, 2021 at 9:42, I disposed of it (without hard disks).

johan

On November 22, 2007 we bought this computer, a Q-Motion QM DTR 17/09 from Media Markt for € 699. It had XP pre-installed! This computer has the following configuration, besides the normal stuff:

On Monday, August 9, 2010 it reported a disk reading error during booting. It seems that the harddisk, or at least its controller, has died. I did play with the cables, but that did not fix the problem.

On Tuesday, August 10, 2010, I bought a new harddisk, a Samsung HD322HJ, and installed it.

On Thursday, August 12, 2010, it seems that problems with the disk have been 'repaired'.

On Monday, November 22, 2010, there where some problems with the video card.

Next Thirsday, the problems reappeared and on Friday, November 26, 2010, I installed a new graphic card, a MSI Geforce N210 with 512MB.

On November 24, 2011, I replaced Samsung SyncMaster 223BW with Samsung SyncMaster SA350.

On February 17, 2012, I replaced the harddisk with the one I bought in 2010.

On February 28, 2012, I started trying to fix the infected disk. Continued on February 29 and March 1.

On June 30, 2013, I installed a 2 port USB 3.0 PCI express card.

On April 30, 2017, I installed a Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC card, because the last half year I am experiencing problems with the network connection stalling at irregular intervals.

Since February 8, 2018, I get into a BIOS menu stating that there is something wrong with the configuration. But everything seemed to work normal when I continue. After some days, I discovered that the internal clock was wrong and that the problem is related to the battery wearing out.

On September 25, 2018, I replaced the battery to resolve the problem with the internal clock. This only solved the problems for some time, beause around October 26, 2018, they returned.

On February 9, 2019, I installed Unbutu on the (second) hard-drive.

On May 5, 2020, I removed the Samsung SyncMaster SA350 monitor.

Anne-Ester

On March 21, 2009 we bought this computer, a Samsung NC10-KA04NL netbook from DynaByte for € 399. It had XP pre-installed. Annabel is going to use it for school.

On January 25, 2010, Annabel took the Acer AL1913 TFT monitor from lixia and put it upstairs in her room to use it with her netbook.

On February 27, 2010, we bought a wireless router for this notebook and Annabel's IPod touch.

On November 13, 2011, I applied the repair procedure for the "white screen problem".

On February 25, 2012, we brought this back to the shop for repair because of the persistent "white schreen problem". It is possible that it will be evaluated as a total loss, in which case the insurrance will give us a coupon for buying a new netbook.

On March 17, 2012, received a letter stating that it has been judged as a total loss. Within 14 days we can collect a replacement netbook from te shop.

FJF

On May 3, 2010, I went to collect a Samsung NC10 netbook with 2 GB of memory from a private person for € 200.

On March 17, 2013, I installed a webserver on this notebook.

Around September 5, 2014, the sound (including opening tune) started to crack for some unknown reason. Also booting became noticable slower. I suspect some hardware failure in hard disk, motherboard or sound controller.

BDD-2011-05

I start using this computer by the end of May 2011 in my office as a replacement for Frans2008. Early October 2016, it was replaced by BDD-2016-10.

On August 25, 2012, the screen got a crack in the right top corner when the lid was opened. I went back to the shop, but Annabel wanted to keep it to make a back-up of her data. On September 18, 2012, it failed to start-up at all, and Annabel brought it back to the shop. The next day, I got it back and tried recover data from the hard disk, but failed. On September 21, 2012, I returned it to the shop for repair. Later it was judged as a total loss and not returned to us.

FJF2

On March 16, 2013, I started using an Aspire Acer D270 notebook, which we received some time last year as an replacement Annabel. (It was left unopened because Annabel bought some laptop for herself.) It had Windows 7 installed. Specifications:

On January 2, 2015, I upgraded it to Windows 10, which seems to give it a better performance than with Windows 7.

On May 31, 2016, I started installing Arch Linux. Installation and maintenance log.

On March 23, 2020, I installed Lubuntu besides the no longer supported 32-bit Arch linux installation.

Dell OptiPlex 755

On April 11, 2014, I got an old Dell OptiPlex 755 with service tag F1HKG3J. When I switched it on in the fall of 2017, it seems as if it did not want to boot anymore. On September 25, 2018, I tried to start it again: the attached monitor did not register a VGA signal.

On January 8, 2021 at 9:42, I disposed of it (without hard disks).

FJFgalaxy

On October 5, 2014, I received a Galaxy Tab 3 tablet and started carrying it myself.
