ELKS (Embeddable Linux Kernel Subset, a 16-bit no-MMU Linux) on customized Amstrad PC 2086

ELKS (Embeddable Linux Kernel Subset) is an successful attempt to port no-MMU Linux to the machines even smaller (older) than Atari ST. It boots on any 8088/8086 CPU-based machine (it also boots on 286 and 386-based machines). Amstrad PC 2086 is a late 8086-based PC/XT clone. This one was modified as such: 8087 FPU installed The MFM disk controller replaced with lo-tech's 8-bit ISA XT-IDE controller (with on-board slot for a Compact Flash card) MFM HDD removed; the system is booted from a CF card SMC 8003WC 8-bit ISA network card (with RJ-45 connector) installed Microsoft mouse connected to the one and only RS-232C port that this machine has (the original Amstrad mouse is also connected, yet it uses dedicated mouse port which uses proprietary communication protocol) Additional RAM installed in form of lo-tech's 8-bit ISA UMB memory card at 0xD000 (used by ELKS as 64kB ramdisk) It also had lo-tech's 8-bit ISA 2MB EMS memory card installed (at 0xE000), yet I also wanted to utilize 8-bit ISA SoundBlaster 2.0-compatible card (for DOS games mostly; currently ELKS has no audio capabilities), due to lack of free 8-bit ISA slots, I've faced a tough choice between vast amount of EMS 4.0-compatible memory and the sound in DOS games; in effect, EMS had to go, unfortunately. The VGA signal from Amstrad PC 2086 was converted to the S-Video signal by the TVOne CS-320R Connect device. The S-Video signal was captured by usbtv video4linux compatible framegrabber.
