I replaced the 386 today with one from 1990. I was able to boot a disk I keep around that has MS-DOS 3.30a and Windows/386 2.11 on it. I also have Battletech on there and yes it ran with no issues! It didn’t work at all on the older processor. When I pushed it into the socket it made such a loud “ker chunk” noise that I wouldn’t want to constantly pull out and reseat these chips. Especially since I don’t have the Intel “rake” like puller I had to use a pair of card edge blanks to gently rock it out of the socket. Although I do appreciate the 10x humor of it. It’s weird that so many people focus on the software, which runs perfectly fine in emulation, but seem to lose their minds that an $8,000 machine from 1987 shipped with a buggy CPU… Hopefully this tbh t will encourage someone out there with a 386 to try to replicate this. |
