Subject: contemporary XT software?
Now that I seem to finally have a working XT clone, does anyone have
suggestions for interesting (and available!) contemporary software to run
on it? It'd be nice to load it up with a few games and productivity apps
of the era.
It's only got 512K of RAM (although I may have an expansion board
somewhere), but it does have a 10MHz 8088 (well, if I can work out how to
kick it into high-speed mode) and I've got a VGA card in there right now.
I'm not sure if anyone is maintaining a software repository for early x86
PCs (and maybe what is out there will target '286 and above anyway)?
cheers
Jules
