This video is about my Acer 915P (II), featuring an intel 286 12mhz, 1MB of RAM and a 85MB hard drive, manufactured towards the end of 1991.
A fairly "modern" 286 from Acer, probably one of the last 286 produced since its introduction in 1982.
It came with the dreaded Dallas DS1287 "all in one" Real Time Clock that was completely dead and prevented me from entering the BIOS to setup the PC.
We'll go over fixing the Dallas issue, go over the PC's external and internal features, do some upgrades (memory and sound) and play some games.
All in all a nice little machine with some modern features, albeit with an "old" and "slow" CPU. But a nice gaming machine when choosing the time-period correct games for it.
At the end, enjoy a collection of 1990-1991 games like Secret of Monkey Island, Lemmings, MIG-29, Tetris, Stunts, Supaplex, Another World, Police Quest 3 and Speedball2.
