Hi all,

I'm finally back at it again. My project this time is to build an XT clone with v20. All my other XTs are genuine IBMs (http://fastmhz.com/amd-8088-477-mhz/).

I bought this NEC Turbo XT board on eBay and it appears to be missing the BIOS chip. I power it on with a video card and not even a beep, though the 8088 chip gets slightly warm.

I can't find a BIOS chip anywhere. I've heard there are flashable ROM cards but can't find one of those either. Any ideas or should I return it?

I've attached a couple of pics.

Cheers!
