386DX, 4MB RAM with a custom crafted modeline built using the sc
spreadsheet and a dotclocks file that needs heavy modification. Graphics
card was a trident w/0.5MB VRAM. I had 640x480 with 16 colors. It took
nearly a month to get all the modeline data correct (lots of trial and
error. mostly error. nearly smoked the monitor).
