So, my dad was going through his drawers of random computer parts that we have built up over the years of buying, building, upgrading, and packratting. Check this out:
That's an Intel 8088 CPU, 4.77 MHz. We also found the 8087 math co-processor that accompanied it in the first PC we had in the house (an IBM XT clone, back when that term was still meaningful), before which we had had only a Commodore 64 and a VIC 20. What this boils down to is you are looking at part the guts of the computer I used in junior high and early high school. *shrugs*
PS. I am back home in the Bay area now. Work Tuesday. Ugh.
