Re: [N8VEM: 14575] Re: Another SBC-188 lives



Great news Bill!

These boards have been run at quite high speed, depending upon the 80C188 that you have installed.  16Mhz seems to be the upper limit with an external 4MEM board; but standalone, several of us have been successful running up to 25Mhz with the AMD 25Mhz CPU.

I think I've come to the conclusion that in building these retro computers the goal is to see that "I can solder it together and get it to work."  It is greatly satisfying when the board comes up.

Same here.

After a long delay due to family issues, work, other projects, etc. I have finally powered up my SBC-188 also.  Booting MS-DOS 6.22 with one floppy.  Running at 8MHz currently due to in-stock OSC can selection.

Hello All,

After much procrastination I have finished building my SBC-188 v1 board.  While there are a few
more issues to clear up (the supercap is not all that super anymore etc.) I have managed to boot
MS-DOS 6.22 with one floppy.  Running bios v039.  Don't know if I'll be spending more time on
it in the near future.  Anyhow I have added a photo of the completed board to the SBC-188 V1
folder as there wasn't already one there.

Regards

David
