NuXT v2.0 - MicroATX Turbo XT - 10MHz, 832K, XT-IDE, Multi-IO, SVGA

Note1: Orders usually ship within a week, but could take longer if demand is high.

Note2: Do not choose "Postal service" as your shipping option, unless you are okay with your box only being insured for $150 and declared as such. Choose DHL Express for very fast delivery (once shipped). I am not responsible for problems encountered with delivery to PO Boxes, customs, if you make mistakes in your provided address, or if the parcel is returned to me (where you will be offered to pay shipping again or be refunded minus shipping).

Note3: DHL Express claims they cannot deliver to PO Boxes.

Note4: Security notice: Only reply to, or click links in emails from monotechpcs@gmail.com.

Note5: Due to popular request, this batch of NuXTs, dubbed "REV C", has a greatly improved onboard speaker. It also has a new colour scheme, but is otherwise unchanged from the previous batch of v2.0 boards.

Not just a motherboard, but more of a "single-board-computer", which includes built on, many peripherals that a separate ISA card would usually be needed for.
Can be used as a full featured IBM XT-compatible without any extra cards.
Can add Sound, Network Card, or more storage/connectivity via the four ISA slots.
I recommend reading the user manual in the links at the bottom, for more detailed information.

8088 CPU is slightly slower than NEC V20, but with slightly better compatibility with particular old software.
NEC V20 is roughly 20% faster at the same clock speed, and supports 80186 instructions.

The 512K VGA RAM upgrade is not useful for most tasks. It is only needed for 1024x768 16-colour, and 800x600 256-colour; quite high for a mere 8088, and not supported in almost every application you can use on this. Best for programmers or novelty seekers.
The 8087 is also not useful for most users. Only software that specifically supports it will see a speed increase, such as CAD or spreadsheet software.

Includes:

• NuXT v2.0
• Built-in I/O shield
• User Manual

There are photos with and without the onboard PC/104 VGA option.

A CR2032 cell is not included for shipping reasons. You must purchase one separately if you wish to use the RTC. They can be found in most supermarkets. The RTC is not required for the NuXT to work.

A case or power supply is not included. You can purchase a regular ATX power supply and microATX or ATX case from PC parts stores.

Disclaimers:
There is a 1 year warranty for repair/replacement.
There is no guarentee of compatability with any of your hardware, peripherals, etc.
If issues arise and can't be solved over emails, you will need to return it to me. I will usually pay for your return shipping, if quoted prior, but that is up to my discretion.
