Excelent video! I remember arriving from school to play Doom. Very good memories from a simpler time

Thanks for the appreciation! I had a 386 sx 16mhz when I was in school. So for me was waiting wolf3d and prehistorik 2 when arriving from school. But I was playing doom at my best friend who had a 486 dx2 66mhz. Simpler time indeed!

What is the function of these seven-segment displays, used on the front of PC cabinets from the 90s?

[@retroboby007]

It is part of the turbo function, a button to slow down the pc for use with older software. Back then, many softwares were cpu sensitive, so when you upgraded the pc, the expensive software you had was running too fast. So these "turbo button" were used to slow down the machine when those older and expensive softwares were running.
