x86 Breadboard Computer

Ok, admittedly, the following is blasphemy. 👹 For one thing, we've arrived at 16 bit here, for another, it’s about a CPU from Intel ... whoooooaaaa.

But the reason we just had to include this playlist from Slav, is the overall coolness factor of the project behind it.

An x86 computer on breadboards. 😮

What sounds strange at first, is of course not that far-fetched. Why shouldn't one get a 70s Intel CPU to run on small, hole-ridden plastic boards.

Slav proves that it is possible. His playlist currently offers 13 titles, and one can assume that more will follow.

Appetite for an off-kilter topic? Here you go.
