my comment over there just made me recall this
this demo is the next one in a long arc of people doing absolutely remarkable things to the original PC. that series went 8088 corruption (pouet) -> 8088 domination -> 8088 mph and if you’ve never seen them before, you absolutely should
area 5150 has a recording of the production as well as an audience reaction recording from share day
it’s astoundingly awesome
something I really enjoy about the scene is that the more you learn (about the technology, the math, the methodology), the deeper the appreciation of it gets
The 8088 saga is a serial escalation in mindblowing. I’m still working on the Bad Apple!! post (some scope creep happened) but 8088 domination is one of the crowning moments of win within that history as well.
The IBM PC is a neat machine and it’s not its fault it has been holding back the IT industry to this day.
