I have my first computer still, an IBM PC. The last useful thing I did with it is copy the 2015 demo “8088 MHZ”[1] to it. (I still had Telix installed on the hard drive so I was able to copy, via USB drive, the EXE file from my Windows 7 box which didn’t have a serial port to my XP box which did. And then use Hyperterminal and a null modem cable and 9 to 25 pin adapter to the serial port on the PC to send it via Zmodem (I think) protocol. (The demo runs most of the way but I get a parity error/crash at a certain point because it requires 640K and I have a little less than that due to some bad RAM. Even though I set the dip switches to less than the full amount, I think the demo tries to use all the memory space anyway.) I was thinking of porting Forth (jonesforth) to it. I’d have to use 16 bit assembly language of course instead of 32 bit.

I wonder if it works on the device this post is about.
