I'm so happy I got this old IBM5170 up and running. With a decent VGA card and a Sound Blaster, I now run Pinball Fantasies, which I 25 years ago was part of developing... And it runs pretty good on this machine with 4 channel sample mixer sound on AdLib! :twisted: Did not think it would! I knew we run it back in the days on a 12MHz 286 without any lagging... I really don't remember what was the lowest spec we tested on, but it would not surprise me if it was the 5170 I had back then...
Now, I'm wodering which would be the best demos and games that would work with this setup.
I hoped to be able to run some of trixters demos, but even this machine is quite overspec it seem to run only on CGA with copsite output. I will keep looking out for even older HW than this... But it must be something that runs on this that will impress me.
Bring it on!
