What started out as an equipment comparison video/discussion, got morphed into a Second Reality demo tribute after the X16 presentation at the September VCF last month.

"To breaking all the emulators." (be sure to use good speakers, not those twangy laptop or phone ones you probably won't hear the "gong" background and other subtle things with those, or it will just "puff" the low frequencies )
A '386-20 was about the "weakest" system I could find to play SR (but I admit to selfishly wanting to stick with a DX and avoid an SX). I thought the 150MHz Pentium would blow that out of the water, but put a little twist to spice things up. I suppose with a bit more effort, a 386-16 might be out there (and QEMM running on DOS 4.X or maybe even 3.X?).
But also hopes this inspires other to think about what a humble fan-less low power X16 could do. Like we learned in Maverick, "It's Not the Plane, It's the Pilot"
