Hi,
So.. what it boils down to is: is there any (serious)
project on doing
a "old pc systems" emulation a la SimH, which does, for example, a
pure IBM PC, PC/XT or PC/AT ?
I had a request yesterday for a 286 or earlier machine, the person says
that somethings with the serial ports changed after that and the test
equipment gets communication errors on newer machines.
Another person wanted a 486-66 for a Massspectrometer
I know there was a problem with games that were written using the system
speed to time loops, I guess this also occurred in test equipment.
