I have tried this mod on my NuXT's, which are 8088 and NEC V20 based machines. I can confirm that without any sound even at 4.77 MHz, the game is playable. At 7.16 MHz and above with CGA graphics, the performance is great. Brilliant work! Thanks a lot!

I have already assembled two computers, based on the NuXT v2 board, and they are great reliable machines. I totally recommend this approach, because you are using brand new peripheral components like case, power supply, monitor, keyboard, etc. The machine equipped with the 8088 CPU at 4.77Mhz...

I wish you to not have any other issues with the machine. Actually, you could try SVM.EXE or SVM89.EXE utilities which can transform your Trident 9000i to a EGA or CGA card with good compatibility and will keep the computer brand new.

I'm glad that the issue is resolved. I have two NuXT PC's, one with 8088 and the other with NEC V20, and they both paired with 8087 FPU's. I can confirm that NEC V20 is working properly with 8087. It is strange though that your faulty V20 is working fine without the FPU installed. Can you...

My first computer was PC/AT i286-10Mhz based machine and I love 286's, but if the choice is XT vs. AT only, I will definitely go for the XT based machine. For early DOS games, the usual 6-12 Mhz 286 is too fast, and it is too slow for the games from the late 80's and early 90's. To cover the...

Congratulations! The computer appears to be in very good condition at least on the pictures. Most likely the CPU is NEC V20. It fully supports 80186 instructions, and it is 99% MS-DOS compatible. The Pratetz 16ES is the fastest model of the series. As you already noticed most of the parts are...

What a great machine you have! It has Faraday FE2010A chipset and you can switch the clock speed with this combinations: - Normal 4.77Mhz -- "Ctrl+Alt+S" - Turbo 7.16Mhz -- "Ctrl+Alt+T" - Double 9.55Mhz -- "Ctrl+Alt+D"

I'm very happy to see a video card very similar to mine! I think your is a bit older revision. I found jumper settings here, hope it will help: EGA Wonder jumper settings

Someone already imported the source code of the 'Chinese' BIOS and it is linked in Sergey's repository: 8088_bios. It is quite obvious that the original copyright and GPL license are replaced completely.

I came across the news about this laptop in a DOS gaming Facebook group and immediately checked out what it was all about. At first, I was thinking of ordering one. The price was reduced by 50%, but while I looked at the pictures I've noticed that they are using your BIOS, and on top of that...

Hi Sergey, I have two NuXT v2.0 boards, one with NEC V20 and one with AMD 8088 CPU. You have just brought back such fond memories from my childhood. I really love the fact that you are still improving the 8088 BIOS. At the moment, I'm using the 0.9.8 version, but considering to upgrade it to...

I am using Chieftec ProCube (CI-02B-OP) case for my NuXT motherboard. It is extremely useful. It has both 5.25" and 3.5" bays for the floppy drives and filters for the dust, and it is brand new.
