Heyo folks,

https://youtu.be/YI3yeY2sOo4

Al's Geek Lab delivers you -- my IBM 5160, complete with original 256K motherboard still in play, delivers you a slice of DooM running at ~20FPS. 

Yes, it is running with an upgrade card - an Intel Inboard/386 PC
Yes, I rodded the hell out of that too, with a ParrotyError 4MB ram expansion piggyback board and an IODATA PK486 Blue Lightning 3 (IBM/Cyrix) CPU which clocks in at 96MHz!

It's wild!

Lettuce know what you think!

Cheers,
Al
