This is the Book8088, an interesting "modern" take on an old 8088 IBM PC compatible machine. This particular unit was sent in and was broken, so it's time to try to figure out what's wrong with it and get it working. Along the way, I want to add proper external CGA output to this computer to make it more useful.
