Hey there, this is my first post here, but I've been reading with no account for awhile 😀
I have this XT motherboard with an 8088 CPU in it, and I'd like to find more information about it (and about 8088 XT motherboards in general). I was told that it works. It says "Super Turbo III" on it, but it has no manufacturer anywhere on it. I tried connecting it to a power supply and a VGA card, and nothing happened - I'd assume I need RAM, but how? There's no slots. (I'm sorry, that must sound really dumb - I mainly collect 386 and 486 systems so I don't know much about anything older.) Pictures can be found here: https://imgur.com/a/KtYdY
