I bought one earlier this year and you can change the resistor underneath the bezel to increase the brightness of the screen... works well for what it is.
They just made a version 2.0 that has VGA, Serial and Parallel ports, ext keyboard should be an easy hack. I recently bought one without thinking so in a few weeks we will see
I just got one of these too. Yeah def if you make any mods let us know cause i would look to do them too. Like i cant get vga out via isa, but apparantly using a bios that supports it can. I dont know if that one guys bios supports it ot not.
Im definately adding a serial port, its the one essential i feel is missing. Depending how I go I may put some up for sale. I think running a VGA card should be totally possible, I haven't had a closer look yet but if the NuXT from monotech can do it, im sure this can!
Yeah, I would remove the board first and firmly push that chip in, mines not pushed in all the way on one side. Id have pushed mine in but I am planning on dropping an 8088 in there so no point for now:)
I belive its basically an ADLIB clone, so MIDI music only. Im guessing an 8088 is pretty stretched to run a SB card, and I dont think there's much software that can use the combo of the 8088 plus SB card, so it kinda makes sense just having an adlib clone. I have a future New XT build planned where ill be trying a Sound blaster 2.0 card on an XT, so Ill know for sure then.

Yeah Ive seen this, except im planning to use a variable resistor to have adjustable brightness :)
love the into song spaceman
I picked it as it just screams 90's :) Loved it back in the day.
This and Hand386 are very cool but I would only consider purchasing if they would add ports for mouse, keyboard, monitor at least.

Open 8088 Domination on it
Next video :) I just checked it out looks good
Looks like I am not the only one with left door does not fit in. Wonder if I could make it fit by taking the board out and rearrange it.

Is this soundcard in this machine soundblaster compatible too? 🤔

i want something like this but pentium 1 speeds and a 4:3 screen
Some retro laptops sell for reasonable prices still
Hows battery life on this ?
I have gotten 3 hours from it so far on one charge and its still going
Cool. Thanks for responding. I am really interested in getting one of these. :-) @@MikesRigs
@@MikesRigsdoes change the battery LED his color when the battery goes empty?
old game 1984 castle wolfenstein is to fast on this pc! the same with montezuma. no upgrade required.
I didn't know Wolf3D could run on an XT!
You would think they could at least use a 4:3 aspect ratio screen to make it somewhat retro. Wide screen for 640x200 doesn't make any sense.
It does when its a cost point, its a basic highly available screen so its pennies to use it versus others.
Some 80's laptops had some pretty strange screen sizes, like the IBM 5140 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_PC_Convertible
