Building a New IBM XT Clone! The NuXT Turbo PC (Patreon)
Content
Got a fun little project to share here: the Monotech NuXT Turbo XT Clone.
It's a very professional-looking MicroATX motherboard featuring a 10MHz 8088 that switches between three clock frequencies on the fly, 640K RAM plus 192K UMB, XT-CF card and extra high density floppy interfaces, (S)VGA graphics up to 512K, four 8-bit ISA slots, an AT2XT converter for PS/2 keyboards, Sergey Kiselev's Micro 8088 BIOS, negative 5-volt rail handling so you can use modern ATX PSUs, and yeah man.
It's like a dream team of open source PC hobbyist hardware and software projects all rolled into one! Available in a kit or pre-assembled, it's a lot of fun to put together and benchmark the results. Hope you enjoy seeing the whole process!
