Back in 1988 I purchased a Tandy 1000 SX that I upgraded with a NEC V20 CPU and a full 640K. Later that year I invested in a PC Technologies 286 Express accelerator card with a 80287 math coprocessor. This was my daily driver for the next two years. I ended up selling it and getting a Northgate 386DX/20 computer. Fast forward 30+ years and I regret having sold that computer as I had such fond memories of it. One of the items on my bucket list was recreating that computer. At the end of 2019 I got Tandy 1000 SX again, but I never thought I would find that accelerator card. Well I lucked out and found one, I am just waiting for it arrive. This is going to be a fun project and I will post more on this once the 286 Express card is installed. Retro computing for me is all about recreating memories of the computers I once had. I am sure this is same for many others as well.
