this viral retro mini laptop just appeared on our desk, we ordered it about a month ago and its just as cute as you expect! with a modern TFT display and keyboard and USB disk interface, but still rockin the classic 8088 chipset (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_8088) - its a perfect experimentation platform for very old software. i love the reuse of these 90's datecoded chip. we got one of our old 512MB SD cards (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5252) to plug in for data transfer and have it running Spectrum Holobyte Tetris (https://www.myabandonware.com/game/tetris-dj). any recommendations of software we should try running? it won't be able to run doom - that requires a later chipset!
