In a rare Youtube recommendation win I got suggested Bartłomiej Dzięgiels '4MB SIMM - 1st production run 2024' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUYgJZiB0Tw and thus discovered his Kickstarter https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/19166907 … -30pin-fpm-simm and YT channel https://www.youtube.com/@neointernalforce/videos

Poor Man's 386 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCuMekllKvQ is right up my alley, an absolute gem 😀

You like the wood case ? 🤣 yeah very cool. I took a IBM XT case and cut it to fit a 486 NLX type board decades ago. Now that would be wrong but at the time it seemed right and worked 😀

Hate posting a reply and then have to edit it because it made no sense 😁 First computer was an IBM 3270 workstation with CGA monitor. Stuff: https://archive.org/details/@horun
