And I forgot to mention we also now have Raspberry Pis acting as Virtual
Floppy connected via ISA.

There seems to be a resurgence of 8088/ISA compatible homebrew computers
and designs. Besides NuXT[0], the original Sergey Kiseliev Designs
[1][2][3][4][5][6], we now have EMM's designs [7][8][9][10][11][12][13],
some ISA ethernet cards [14][15], some sound cards

Thank you, and noted.
Dennis, thank you for sharing. First of all, if you'd like to get a
Vortex86 CPU-based PC, better to get those which are supported by the
opensource coreboot BIOS, instead of the proprietary closed-source
BIOS. This way, with the help of coreboot's SeaBIOS payload, you'll be
able to - using a
