Just to add to this thread, I'm also now looking for EGA/VGA cards that'll work with an 8088 setup; I actually have at least one in my possession, & as luck would have it, it also comes with a floppy disk drive connector (I think); somewhere I also have a board with serial and parallel ports, & potentially IDE ports too, leaving one port left for an additional sound card, if I want a game port for some reason, as the Book 8088 comes with an OPL3 card & a small ISA board in the config I chose!

Managed to source a PSU for the 2 Sharp Hc-4001A handheld PCs I have that isn't from the USA... It's what I call a "Europlug", which means that it'll share voltage with UK, but I need to sort out an adapter for it if I'm not going to be using it with my Europlug power strip! Also, they're not easily accessed right now coz of the move, but I know that they're at least around somewhere, either in my storage unit, or in new flat, it's just a matter of getting things unpacked and placed everywhere!

Doing more research on games and software that can be run on an 8088 CPU/IBM PC/XT, although it is a bit tricky working out what actually runs on it sometimes, especially when there are some newer games that are designed to work with it!

@poemblaze I'm spread out amongst here, Mastodon, Twitter, and Hive at least... I need to work out how best to juggle them all, as well as also other platforms I'm on!

@stormkeeper @Nealiios That has now been rectified!

So now I've also set up my name on here, and again carved out a space, although I need to get a better social media strategy going!
