I’m intrigued.   The two games I worked on in the early 80s with Fred 
Saberhagen were developed on an original IBM PC that had a motherboard fully 
populated with 64K and later a memory board that added an additional 512K.  I 
had 4 floppy drives connected to it but no hard drive.

 

If I want to play these games anymore (and every few years I do), I fire up the 
DOS box emulator.   It might be fun to run it on a machine dedicated to 
mimicking the capabilities of the old IBM PC.  The novelty might wear off soon 
followed by some buyer’s remorse.   But then again, it does sound cool.

That is an unusual product. I wonder how it came to be? Hobbyist pulled the 
lever and went into production? Could they be just-in-time and/or built to 
order?

Concept is neat but I think the execution was bad.  Apparently the BIOS was 
modified and used without following the author's license.  (FYI BIOS author 
requesting that no one purchase this until the license issue is resolved)

 

Made me think of a 2nd generation M100 work alike.
