Forget 88 MPH, can this XT make it to 88 MHz?!
In this video, I continue my quest to upgrade my old OG XT and get it running smoothly. This time, I'm focusing on getting doom to run at a decent frame rate, pushing the limits of the USA bus with an IBM Blue Lightning (IODATA BL3 on the Intel Inboard 386/PC). Check out the video to see how I breathed new life into this classic pc!
