I love seeing new software (and firmware) being developed to squeeze every last bit of performance out of our beloved vintage systems, and to allow them to do things they were never designed to do. Thanks for sharing this with the world! ☺️
How difficult would it be to port GLaBIOS to popular 8086/V30 systems from back in the day?
There are a number notable of 8086-based PC/XT systems that this would be useful for:
- Olivetti M24 / AT&T 6300
- IBM PS/2 Models 25 and 30 (there are both 8086-based and 286-based variants of these models)
- 8086-based models of the Tandy 1000
For instance, I grew up with the 8086-based Olivetti M24, and it's always been an obsession for me to tune and optimize it further than the designers of the system initially intended. Would love to see a version of GLaBIOS being developed for that old beast.
Thanks for considering.
