For the past four months I have been restoring an IBM PS/1 2168. With the Checkmate monitor, I think I am done. Let's FDOOM.EXE and DUKE3D.EXE, here I come!

I am currently restoring an IBM PS/1 2168. I wanted to upgrade to Pentium Overdrive but I need BIOS FRU 07H1001 which I cannot find anywhere.
Anybody working at IBM can look in the archive if you have it?

I also got my Strike Commander poster framed. The people at Art Frame Studio in Mountain View did a fantastic job, I highly recommended them. Notice how the game was announced for 1991. It actually shipped in May 1993 after four years in development and an estimated million man hours.
