Back in the Summer a listing appeared on Ali-Express for a new 8088 based laptop computer. I, along with every one else on RU-vid, ordered one. But rather than just unwrap and use it, I've been using it on and off for a period of 3 months. Finally I'm ready to record my review. What could go wrong? What could POSSIBLY go wrong?
It claims to be an 8088 laptop with CGA graphics and MSDOS 6 installed. Software can be copied onto it via USB stick and it has an OPL 3 sound card built in.
I could post a link where to buy one but you may as well go and rummage around in the E-Waste bin at the local tip. It'll be cheaper.
