It has been around 29 years since I engaged in the dark art of NT
programming as a young intern for the remnants of a once-great American
manufacturer, now splattered around the world like a nebula after a
supernova... and, indeed, I was once spending lots of time studying blue
screens, attaching kernel debuggers, and even restarting the kernel -
and all this on PS/2 P75 (the system under test). It had an 8MB Cumulus
card, which was unreliable in the P75 (they probbably only tested it on
Model 70/80 386) and would caused random memory errors after a few
hours, which perfectly duplicated problems happening in the field.

At this point, WFW3.11 and whatever came before is what fascinates me.
Other quixotic quests on deck are building a PC/AT BIOS with ABIOS
support; 32-bit disk access for the PS/2 SCSI adapter; getting AIX PS/2
actually usable in 86Box; fixing the problems where BASIC/BASICA don't
work in a Win 386 Enhanced DOS box; and, of course, improving the Mod.
50/60/70/80 BIOSes as discussed previously.
