to get things done. Working on my 8088, I write my own utils (sometimes
in assembler). It's just a different mindset. And while there are
things I would never attempt on the 8088 (such as MPEG-2 compression),
it is just as fast for most common-denominator tasks like writing text,
programming, etc.
Assuming a full 80x25 screen write, what's the maximum frames/sec that
an 8088 could do on a monochrome or CGA interface?
Based on "8088 corruption", I'm guessing that CGA can do at least 30
fps.
