I have an HP-Agilent J2300D, probably around the same age as myself. It runs some Win98 embedded edition and is used for network and telecom line analysis and has all sorts of niche features and interfaces like t1/e1, V.35, RS-449. It would probably cost me 10x what I paid for this device to get similar interfaces for a modern PC. I do use it and the software it came with for some proven to I work on and the other day, used XMODEM and a null modem cable to transfer some files to my main PC. Really neat device, sadly most of the ports aren’t visible to the OS.
It doesn’t have a trackpad which is mildly annoying. Luckily I have some serial mice sitting around, if I’m not using the PC-serial port for something else. I’ve heard of people replacing the hard drive with an SSD, which I may look into as well.
I have some older computers (and some peripherals even older) but I don’t really use them outside one off projects.
