Workbench failed to load. Stopped the recording and started diagnosis. Found out it has a 4MB RAM expansion (at least) and a HD already fitted, but defunct. No worries, I can get a 4GB CF based HD for \u00a320 so that&#8217;s a near future purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tested one of the games in one of the boxes of floppies: Pinball Fantasies.
