ctrl-alt-rees | 1986 IBM 5162 "XT 286" Restoration - Upgrades, AdLib, XT-IDE, Networking & More! - Part 1 @ctrlaltrees | Uploaded May 2022 | Updated October 2024, 17 minutes ago.

The first episode of Wolfenstein 3D was released to the Software Creations BBS by id Software at 4AM on May 5th 1992. For its 30th anniversary, I thought I'd finally get around to restoring my IBM XT 286 (model number 5162) so I could enjoy the game on the very lowest spec machine it supports - just as many people (myself included) played this legendary DOS FPS back in the day!
In addition to the restoration, upgrades will include an AdLib sound card, XT-IDE hard disk support and a network card.
Big thanks to @RMCRetro for his voice acting skills in this one!
