Man uses NT 3.1 to host a website

Apparently this guy is using NT 3.1 to host a website that appears to be something that could've been the microsoft website decades ago.

If you think that is something, a while back Mike Brutman over at the vintage computing forum was running a web site directly from a real IBM PCJr.

Wouldn't the PCjr blow up or something?

That is quite awesome! It makes me wonder if its even possible to make and successfully host a website using OS/2 warp, with out it crashing. As I would love to put some time into that idea.

Sure, but Warp is just too new for my liking, instead I use OS/2 2.0 to host my useless OS/2 website.

So now I have OS/2 2.0 & Windows NT 3.1 running Apache on the Internet.

Wow, that is a pretty cool site, thanks for sharing!

If you're interested in running web servers on old hardware, you might want to have a look at EZ-NOS :]
They even have/had a release that worked with Intel 8088 processor-based computers.
