The Rarest IBM PC Clone in the World!
The Centurion is one of my all time favorite minicomputers, but did you know, they also made an IBM PC Clone? Well, they almost shouldn’t have. The story of this thing is absolutely bonkers, and the story of how it got here is just as bonkers. So, tag along as dig in deep with a history lesson, and then try to get this old PC back up and running! The BIOS has been uploaded here: https://github.com/Nakazoto/CenturionComputer/blob/main/EDS%20PC/EDSPCBIOS19.BIN If you want to know more about the Centurion, the wiki is full of just about everything we know: https://github.com/Nakazoto/CenturionComputer/wiki If you want to support the channel please hop over to Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/usagielectric Also, we now have some epic shirts for sale! https://my-store-11554688.creator-spring.com Come join us on Discord!
