. Except for retro computers that one machine of my childhood that slipped away, and I’m wondering if I should put out the multiple hundred bucks + a drive from Denmark to Italy to pick it up :/

Yard or Garage Sales: These commonly take place on weekends in the U.S., when families attempt to sell stuff that they no longer need.

a) will be tripped up by anything that doesn’t run at 4.77Mhz, some Turbo XTs had this fallback in their Turbo mode, carried over to some 286es, but 386 and up mostly seemed to have AT compatibility fallbacks. However, this mode isn’t processor inherent and it’s possible to get into your BIOS and force bus timing low enough to get things to work (May also require downclocking of the system clock, derece easy if it’s a crystal, and math, ummm what’s 33 divided by 7) b) falls over on pretty much anything that isn’t an 8088 or direct clone (i.e. Harris, AMD etc 8088). V20s or V30s running at a precise 4.77, nope, sorry, they took a couple of cycles out of some instruction times.

In between writing about AI at Ars over the past 8+ months, I’ve had the chance to occasionally write a piece about tech history or nostalgia (23 in total so far).

Probably the only difference is shrinking the die process down to something more çağdaş and being able to jack up the clock speed due to using çağcıl processes to create the chip. This is probably another reason for the costs. Such a chip still being produced today would probably be of such low sales volume that the price is going to be jacked sky high to cover the costs of using some contract chip fab to produce it.
