BluMach

It all started with
an Olivetti PCS 286.

My first PC was an Olivetti PCS 286, and I wanted it back. I ended up emulating it. That grew into BluMach, with more than twenty machines.

It's still in development: some machines boot, others don't. This is where I keep track of what works and what I'm still struggling with.

BLUMACH STATUS

The sixth alpha release is ready to try: BluMach 0.1.0-alpha.6, with the Olivetti M10, the first machine running on the CoreMach engine.

Main project

BluMach

A fork of 86Box that presents historical computers the way they were sold: with their factory configuration, their history and their manufacturer.

Each machine is at a different stage. The alpha can already be downloaded; now it needs testing on other computers, fixing bugs and working through the remaining issues.
