EDIT: It has found a home.
EDIT: I was thinking the screws weren't stock, but am told they are.

Yesterday I tried to play several #cga games on my old #pcxt

Since my graphics card is Hercules I usually use an emulator called 'chcolmon'. But I can't find it with that name.

Well, back to the games.

I tried to play Livingston Supongo (Opera Soft) and start fine, with their music, but with a blank screen.

However, Goody (Opera Soft), works fine. Could it be a native Hercules game?

After this I started to look for a CGA emulator, and I found hgcibm but it is too slow.

IBM Personal Computer XT up for auction—$21.99 currently, with a few days left to bid. This classic was a big part of early PC history, first released by IBM in 1983. Listed as parts or repair, and judging by the hard drive platters exposed it definitely needs at least a new drive. On the plus side, it was tested and inspected by “A-H” on 7/3/86. 🙂 Ends Oct 29 at 5:11 PM. Check it out at: https://www.shopgoodwill.com/Item/213908073

I've been sitting on a redesign of my TurboXT addon (https://github.com/hkzlab/TurboXT_Addon) for the 5160 for a few months now.

This one allows (or at least should) toggling the turbo either via external input (switch, 8255 pin), or via an I/O write.

Might decide to just send it for print at the end of the month, with a slew of other boards. Depends on my willingness to suffer at the time of ordering.

An early #IBM #pcxt motherboard from the junk bin at the last fair. Surprisingly, the only things I had to do to get it to start up were
- install a processor (original one missing)
- fix a ripped bodge wire
- install a new regulable ceramic cap for the oscillator (old one cracked)
- replace the two tantalums on the 12v lines (one shorted, the other would have probably followed)

Might just do the "mod" to bring it up to 1mb of RAM...
