  • In this video we will repair and upgrade a nice 286 to its fully beautyness. First a new socket for a PGA cpu to place a nice military graded 286 cpu and lot of other purple ceramic chips with gold caps...
    Unpacking of an IIT Advanced Math Coprocessor. Testing the system
    with benchmarks is a part of this video as well a review of some
    nice games which can played on a 286 machine.

    I had a 286 12MHz with 1MB RAM as a kid in the early 90s and I had so much fun on that computer, it was a huge step up from my 8088 XT. I loved how it was able to run Windows 3.1 very usable along with Wolfenstein 3D.. I feel the 286 was the first PC that was exciting to own, use and play around with..

If you are good with x86 assembler, you can create what are called "loadable" exes that you can call from the programming software if you want to implement your own fast routines for data communication. In fact Schneider Electric was still selling these CPU modules (with 80186) until 2015.
