Upgrading The CPU - 1986 IBM 5162 PC XT 286 Restoration Part 2

Released in 1986, it was comparatively low specced for its time but of course still subject to the “IBM Tax“ - making it notoriously bad value for money. What’s worse is that IBM built in various measures to prevent users being able to upgrade it, so as to prevent cannibalisation of PS/2 sales. So what were these limitations? How do we work around them? Just how fast can this thing go anyway? Find out in part 2 of my ongoing upgrade and restoration series! Support the channel! Patreon: Become a Member: Ko-Fi:
