I have a videocard like that ! It allows to run a 20 mhz 286 a lot faster than any other "common" videoadapters) Even Wolf 3d and the Spear of Destiny are playable on a 20-286 with that card...)

This year took part in Sorokin's Oldtimer - expo of classic cars and all kind of vintage stuff. I demonstrated some my computers to the public - most people said "ah I had one like that when I was young, but I junked it...". One man made me very angry, cos he junked a dozen of Silicon-Indie …

Nice build ! But for my opinion 300mhz is "not enough" for a P-II. I for myself found a Dell P_II with 400 mhz and it runs too slow games easily played on Asus P3Bf with PIII-500 and even with Asus P2Bf/P-II-450 I used to have back then in 1998-2004.

Factory bodge wires? Yes, it was a common practise for the 80s even for the Big Blue. First I saw such wires on a 1993 year 386SX - ES 1863.11 - BeloRussian computer, but later I saw such things on many Western 8088-286-386 machines as well - even on the PS/2 line -on the 53 and 40SX models... or …
