Legacy-free PCs can be more difficult to upgrade than a traditional beige box PC, and are more typically expected to be replaced completely when they become obsolete. Netbooks and ultrabooks could also be considered a portable form of a legacy-free PC. Removing older, usually bulkier ports and devices allows a legacy-free PC to be much more compact than earlier systems and many fall into the nettop or all-in-one form factor. According to the 2001 edition of Microsoft's PC System Design Guide, a legacy-free PC must be able to boot from a USB device. A USB adapter may be used if an older device must be connected to a PC lacking these ports. According to Microsoft, "The basic goal for these requirements is that the operating system, devices, and end users cannot detect the presence of the following: ISA slots or devices legacy floppy disk controller (FDC) and PS/2, serial, parallel, and game ports." The legacy ports are usually replaced with Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports. This model is not to be uploaded or sold in any form and is intended for personal use only.A legacy-free PC is a type of personal computer that lacks a floppy and/or optical disc drive, legacy ports, and an Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) bus (or sometimes, any internal expansion bus at all). This Cyber Planet Key has been provided in two versions - one with the rounded back and another with a flat back (which should make for easier printing).Īnd there we have it - a little blast from the past for Cybertron Metroplex. It does really bring back the retro feeling of powering things up with the Cyber Planet Key, less the fact that the new Sparkdrinker's head no longer splits open.Īnd since this works as a replacement for the original Metroplex's key, it will activate the original Cybertron version Sparkdrinker too! This version was printed in FDM so it will definitely pull better details on clear resin and with either purple dye or a clear purple paint! Following the earlier Cyberkey port, given how hard it may be to find an actual Cyber Planet Key, here's a replica of the key!Īnd so here it is - a hopefully close replica of the key itself!Īnd printed out and painted, here's how it looks against the silver bordered version which we had on hand.
