@@JeffGeerling I'd like to see someone design a SBC PC/XT clone with 2 DOS compatible USB ports, a PS/2 port, 2 DE9 RS232C ports, and VGA out. What to use for a case? The shell of a dead Netgear GS108 ProSafe 8 port Gigabit Switch. In place of the 8x Ethernet ports on the back there's room for the list of ports above, and the power connector is already through the opposite side of the switch. Give it hardware LIM EMS 4.0 and max out that RAM. Have it boot off an EMMC hooked up with XTIDE, with support for USB 1.44M floppy drives. Being able to boot from small USB flash drives would also be a good thing. Why? Industrial / CNC control replacement. I have a ProLight PLM 2000 benchtop mill and the only software ever made for it runs in MS-DOS and needs EMS RAM to load gcode into. The mill is controlled via RS232C. The second serial port would be for the touchscreen on an ELO 800x600 industrial monitor I have. I expect there are plenty of other old things that need EMS RAM but newer PC systems with a ton of built in peripherals have the UMA too fragmented, with no contiguous 64K free space nor a total of 64K or if there is 64K available it's fragmented into chunks too small for LIM 4.0 or any 3rd party EMS software to piece together. The Netgear GS108 case is heavy steel, has a pair of 3-way mounting slots on its bottom, the case opens up with a pair of screws - even when mounted to a wall, it has four PCB mounting holes inside, it has a large opening in the back exactly the size of 8 Ethernet ports in a row, and it's dark blue. It's as if Netgear designed it perfectly to house an 8088 SBC or other SBC - as long as you choose the port assortment carefully.

[@cheater00]

Amazing video, Jeff! I wanted to ask you if something's possible - and maybe present it as a challenge. Say you built a board with an AMD APU (say a 6800U), and an arm soc (say a raspberry pi compute module, or better yet a qualcomm snapdragon (i'll explain why in a sec)). Would it be possible to make it boot in such a way, that it can either a) boot from the arm SoC, and use the AMD APU as a GPU or b) boot from the AMD APU, and use the arm SoC as a coprocessor (+ possibly if the arm chip has a gpu, then use the gpu of that?) - that would be mind bendingly cool. And I think it would have a loooot of applications. Imagine something like a Steam Deck that can enter a "low power" state where it'll run for 12 hours on its battery while you're just browsing or playing low complexity games; or to put it the other way around, imagine something like an Android phone, that can also run Elden Ring when you want it to (just a reboot away). That would be pretty amazing imo.

[@MGThePro]

About intel, they are currently working on a new kernel driver for their latest GPUs called "Xe", I'm not sure if that works on ARM but it might be worth trying. Keep in mind though that to make any use of that (if it even compiles and boots) you need to also compile mesa with a few unmerged merge requests

[@MGThePro]

@Wotzinator Xe is the name for their current graphics architecture used in modern iGPUs as well as Arc, previously known as Gen 12. Now they're also calling their kernel driver Xe. The Xe kernel driver is supposed to supposed to replace i915. Phoronix has a few articles on the changes

[@MGThePro]

@Wotzinator If you're interested in using it for gaming on linux, I can't really recommend it atm. Most games that I tried wouldn't boot at all, and the vulkan driver is missing some critical features to properly support vkd3d, and last time I checked there hasn't been any progress on this in months. I had an A750 for a few days but actually returned it for that reason. For desktop use and media encoding/decoding it's great though, pretty much everything worked ootb (although I only tested wayland, not xorg)
