  • 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.

      Eh, the 186 wasn't really intended as a desktop processor. It was more of an early SoC with so much integrated - really an 8086 with a bunch of support logic integrated for embedded systems. I was really surprised Intel kept making them until 2007!

      @@fremenondesand3896 A product that uses 80186 that I still use at work is the Modicon Quantum PLC CPU modules from Schneider Electric used extensively in industrial automation (example140CPU11303 module). 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.

    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..

Including the checkit program, which I used then, and the bios menu. I remember when I bought that first 286 second hand, when the sellers started it for the first time and did the computer their checks with ... ok at the end of each checking, one of the sellers joked and said that "it counts his electrons ". I will remember this joke along with the pure joy I felt all my life .Thanks!

And had a 30MB hard drive and a 100MB hard card and four megs of ram then often I ran a 2MB ram drive which was way faster than I ever needed it was fun for running games. It started out with a 2400 baud external Hayes modem and then later upgraded to a 28.8k USR external modem. Yeah we had a Okidata 321 macro line dot matrix printer.
    I have no real reason to tell you other than when I think about that computer it brings back good memories and you're probably the only person (and your followers of course) who would understand what I'm saying.
