8086 homebrew computer

Somewhere in 2024 Ive got idea to build computer on x86 for fun.


The breadboard thing.

Wiring and testing

It was wired over few days just because I was doing it fully manualy, so stripping wires by hand, eyebaling sizes etc etc. Hapilly it worked from second try, I dont remember what was wrong with it but it was easy to fix.

Programming and makin' stuff from scratch

Due to financial reasons and urge to making everything from scratch Ive decided to just build EPROM programmer lol. I didnt have any expirience with writing to parallel ROMs and stuff like that so with small amount of reading and winging it I programmed few uveproms and then flash for 8086. Also, Ive handsoldered silly little adapter boards from PLCC to DIP lol.
