The HDD is 200MB, not 500MB.
Couldn't enter the BIOS setup because of a password. Then I used the board's clear CMOS jumper. Now I can't get into the BIOS setup, no matter what I press! I've installed FreeBSD on a gaming PC to that 200MB drive, then put it in the 486 comp. Result: "Missing operating system" error.

Too slow. It will have a lot of latency. Plus, there are no cards where I can insert 2 network cables, and I'm not into buying such old equipment.

The router thing is out of the question then. So, any suggestions? Or, anything I can DO with this thing?

Best I can do is to get some experience and fun with old systems. Can someone direct me to small floppy-based operating systems?

Otherwise, i'd recommend RELENG_4 as the OS.
Compared to what it was like on my slightly newer 486's
