I have an intel 8088 that was built in '81 :downs: that i was hoping to put to some use. Do you guys know where I can get a cheap EPROM programmer from that works with it?

May have more luck in the Hardware and Software section.

Doesn't a cellphone from 1999 have more power than that processor?

PC parallel port, shift registers, latches. I assume if you can write a ROM program for the 8088 you can do that.
I have a 8088, it does nothing.. because you can't do shit on it. Its just their to remind you how lucky you are these days.
ask Hardware and Software section or programing
You have just the 8088? You can try making an SBC. Edit: The 8088 is still gold though. If you know assembly you can do some really cool shit with it. [url=http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5885351342753379583#]For example....[/url]

4.77Mhz? oc time, 5Mhz anyone?
[QUOTE=gaboer;25821413]4.77Mhz? oc time, 5Mhz anyone?[/QUOTE] Try 10mHz. Intel did actually release one at that speed. With modern cooling and such, you could probably get near the gigahertz range, although you'll run into problems with the FSB and RAM far before that.

What the HELL would you ever need one running that fast for?
Even with modern cooling not ln2. I doubt you can hit 1000mHz. It would get too hot imo.

But, like I said, the rest of the system couldn't keep up. The 8088 had no clock multiplier, so the data bus has to run at the same speed. Getting that one past 50mHz would be a miracle.
