I Found A 1987 PC Clone! Will it work?

Retro Hack Shack 32 min Published May 2021

About this video

A 1987 PC XT clone with a RAM problem goes on the bench, and the maker makes a new BIOS ROM from the Super PC/XT Turbo BIOS and tests it.

Good to know: Making a new BIOS ROM calls for a chip programmer, and the chapter list includes a backup step first.

Why watch it

Timestamps list the RAM problem apart from the new BIOS ROM, so a reader after the BIOS work can go straight to it. A Turbo XT board manual is linked.
