Bitcoin Mining using the MS-DOS laptop

Many devices can be used for Bitcoin mining, from ASIC or GPU cards to the Raspberry Pi. Why not try something really exotic? Like a 32-year-old laptop? Why? Because we can.

The best way to study any technology is to try it. I think readers can already guess that bitcoin mining on a 30-years-old PC will not make you rich. But it is a nice try to understand how it works “under the hood” and also to compare how the computer’s performance grew up during this time.
