For years, I've always wanted a proper 486-era MS-DOS PC. Built out of a base model Magitronic MM433 AT tower which was pretty basic, even for 1992 standards, now all souped up!
When I first got it, it only had a 5.25" 1.2MB disk drive, a combo serial & parallel port card, and a SCSI + floppy controller, 8MB of ram and a 33MHz Intel i486DX-33 with only 64Kb of external L2 SRAM cache. Putting this system took months of salvaging parts from other early-to-mid 90s PCs to get the parts I needed. This were the resulting specs after putting everything together:
133MHz AMD Am5x86-P75 with a voltage interposer
256k L2 cache
32MB memory
2GB CF card with Syba CompactFlash to IDE adapter
1MB Trident 8900D video card
Creative Labs Soundblaster 16 with Panasonic CD-ROM drive
Texas Instruments IDE HDD & Floppy controller with Parallel & Serial
Lava Serial Port card
1.2MB 5.25” floppy drive (original)
1.44MB 3.5” floppy drive
100MB IOMEGA ZIP-100 drive
PC Audio NewQ Gold 5.25” graphic equalizer
Magitronic 250W AT power supply
Magitronic A-B435 Socket 3 LIF motherboard with Weitek 4137 socket
American Megatrends BIOS
MS-DOS 7.10

On Wednesday, February 12, 2020, a 10-car train of R-42s consisting of 4826, 4827, 4831, 4830, 4807, 4806, 4797, 4796, 4791 & 4790 made their final revenue run as an "A" train from Euclid Avenue to Far Rockaway, then to 207th St, before making one final run to Euclid Avenue. Andy Byford, who resigned from the MTA a few days prior (but hasn't taken effect at the time yet), made a surprise appearance onboard the R-42 final revenue run.
This is onboard footage from Euclid to Far Rockaway, then from Euclid Avenue to Jay St - Metro Tech.

I successfully steal a mob sedan to complete the "Leaving Chicago" mission. It's a very difficult challenge due to the sedans in this mission being patrol car replacements, hence their spawn rate is much lower than "civilian" cars, in addition to needing sufficient time to complete the mission as you lose a few seconds switching cars, and in many cases, losing the tail.
More details on the "chaser car" logic:

A tribute to the R32, using footage from the final day of revenue operations. This was the trailer for the premiere of the full video of the final day of passenger operation of the R32.

A 1971 Dual KA-25 all-in-one stereo system from Germany.
Dual 1225 record changer
Grundig CN 710 tape recorder (Dual-voltage)
120v ~ 60Hz
This is a dual-voltage model. Can be run on 110-130v or 220v-240v. Oddly enough, it also has a setting for 150v, and the turntable motor is also rated for 150v (power going to the turntable is also at 150v).
As this is an entry-level model, it uses a ceramic phono input as opposed to a magnetic cartridge input. Currently has a Panasonic/Electro-Voice EPC-09-STAD ceramic cartridge, tracking at 1.7g
This has a 4-band radio, one for LW (Longwave), MW (AM), KW, and UKW (FM)
Tape input uses a 5-pin DIN, which I have an adapter for using standard RCA connectors.
The original turntable was a Dual 1214 3-speed but due to numerous issues plaguing it, I swapped motors into the 1225 and used the 1225 instead.
Yes, I know about the screeching belt on the Grundig. I need to import a belt from Germany since the sellers that have the belts for it are all the way in Germany.

It seems like if you hijack the Arasaka van, and got out before the second pair of ramps popped up during the "Gimme Danger" mission, the guards will recognize you as "friendly". The guards have remained friendly even after the mission. Outside the main complex and bridge, the remaining arasaka guards are hostile and will attack you, as intended, however, some of the remaining hostile guards INSIDE the main complex, while it shows on the minimap as hostile, they will not attack you either. Only a few cameras are friendly, and the other cameras are hostile.
Seems most people claim they got this bug while playing Corpo V, but I'm playing Nomad V and this bug worked.
