Well, then I might as well point out, that IBM did make a 8-bit adapter for VGA, so I could use my Sony Trinitron with my PC XT 10Mhz clone. Beat the daylights out of my roommates 6Mhz AT, and ran Xenix, which most unfortunately turned me into a Xenix expert of crap ware. After a bad compile, it destroyed both drives file system, so I went back to just Windows 1.0.6, and DOS.
