Funny to read that in 2025 when all new PC GPUs still provide some form of VGA backwards compatibility with no plans to remove it.
- xattt 2y agoIt’s crazy to think that extant x86 hardware, with a little finagling, can run software from 40-45 years ago.
- grishka 2y agoEven crazier is that someone made an adapter that converts the TPM header found on some modern motherboards into an ISA slot because apparently that has all the necessary bus lines exposed. So that, you know, you could plug a sound blaster in there to play your DOS games with sound. Edit: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=93291 https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=93291
