actually I wonder if @MuseumJoe would be interested in carrying #ArduinoX86 boards.
The 8088/8086 board is completely passive and the software GUI is becoming quite mature. It has huge potential for use by educational institutions
The best thing about ditching the serial UART though - I get two 5v tolerant GPIO pins back.
This lets me hook up the PEREQ and /PEACK pins that implement the CPU<->FPU handshake. Capturing those pins in future FPU instruction tests isn't strictly necessary for emulation, but they will make the tests that much useful as an oracle of hardware behavior
@gloriouscow Yes?
@gloriouscow I mean, certainly. I can make them available for less than folks can get them in small batches on their own.
Not sure what the demand is, but I'm always amenable to a conversation.
