@kens Off the wall question, i may have a working 8088 that has been stored in an air conditioned basement at my parents. I learned to program on this in the 90s. Is there a practical benefit of getting it running again?
- kens 3y agoI don't think there's any practical reason to do that unless you want to get into the retrocomputing community.
- metadat 3y agoAre processors themselves typically sensitive to storage temperature? I know motherboards are (lol, ask me how 0...):, but given the operating conditions, I'm struggling to see how anything other than corrosion or +/-100c would damage a stored processor.
- toast0 3y agoTemperature swings might be more of an issue, and air conditioned storage suggests less rapid temperature changes.
