I made significant changes to this - added a bunch of screen notes, deleted some things, rerecorded a bit, and reshot the entire windows/dos segment, so it's worth another watch. This is the one I'll be releasing on monday, so feel free to copy over any comments you left on RC1. Thanks everyone!

I can second that. Didn't have a genuine Intel one, it was an AMD I think.

Yeah just slap it in there as a patreon exclusive with a disclaimer saying you didn't edit anything and went off half cocked.

I have a couple PBX's I'm willing to give away to somebody in the community. Panasonic KX-TD series Super Digital Hybrid System with voicemail module and several matching phones. Installed in 2001. It was fully functional when it was retired in 2020. Also have a Samsung call processor, no phones, ca. 2012 (???)

To CRD: I have two working PC104 modules I could send for free if you're interested. Email me. :D

Duke played fine on my DX4 100, at the default 320x240 resolution. SVGA resolutions weren't really usable though, and neither was Quake.

We'll see when I have time, but I want to setup dosbox or something and try out some of these games.

As someone who grew up very much after DOS gaming (I grew up in the flash era), if you didn't say there was supposed to be better music/sounds effects in Jazz Jackrabbit, I wouldn't know.

Honestly maybe, if it didn't require any significant editing effort and everyone was okay with just having a podcast, heh. So, I only touched on POTS because that's the card I found in this machine, but it's entirely possible and even likely that it had several more digital trunk cards originally, all of which were pulled to use as spares or sell on eBay before the thing was thrown out because, in fact, t1/PRI is extremely popular here and has been for decades. When I was working on phones, The PBXes I encountered were primarily PRI - POTS showed up in very small installations, usually tiny pharmacies and convenience stores and stuff in the middle of nowhere where they couldn't get digital service. I don't think the bulk of Western Europe has places that are remote enough to exceed the limit of ISDN technology, and the rollout was far more effective there for a whole bunch of reasons relating to misconduct and governmental horseshit here in the US, so yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if absolutely nobody has a POTS PBX there. Certainly though, ISDN PRI was and to some extent continues to be extremely popular with businesses here; however, nobody in the US ever used BRI as far as I can tell. It existed in theory, I've known someone who actually ordered it in the 2010s successfully, but I never once encountered a BRI card in a customer device, it was universally PRI, and my guess is that due to the aforementioned misconduct and malfeasance, the price of BRI just never made sense - and the way it's been explained to me, that's pretty much why ISDN did not succeed here as a replacement for POTS in the first place.

Can you release your 40 min PBX crash course as a patreon exclusive video? Its fascinating that PBXs in the US seem to use POTS as carrier uplink. In Europe we almost exclusively used ISDN for that as it delivered 2 channels via one pair and signalling was digital and POTS didn’t allow for easy signalling of extensions. Now of course its boring SIP stuff, but my employer overslept the migration so I still can play with real ISDN stuff and hardware when I want.
