Thanks! Artex, I must admit, given your impossible collection of retro goodies, getting this feedback from you feels kinda like an achievement 😀

Feel free to use it, I stole the idea from someone as well. These are common nut-screws found in COM, VGA, LPT ports, etc. screwed together by two.

Got an almost complete 286 set for free:
- a motherboard with onboard FDD/IDE controller (!)
- a 286-10 CPU and a 287-10 NPU, both from AMD
- a 8-bit I/O controller
- a 8-bit Gemini Tech G2 videocard
- a nice and clean L-shaped PSU
I hope you have some SIPPs! Is that 640k in DRAM already then?
Yes, I think it has 640K DIPP memory. I've got another 286 with 1Mb DIPP memory and a faulty 386 to steal SIMM slots from.
But I don't really know what to do with extra memory on a 286. Actually, I have no idea what a 286 can do that XT and 386 can't 😀
