Hi All,
Your little BogoMips "contest" made me curious..:-) I've build a ELKS Kernel for my old 8088 PC. After some trouble with booting and root disks I can tell you the result now:
In "Turbo";-) mode I got 0.64 BogoMips (~8Mhz)
In "Normal" mode I got 0.37 BogoMips (~4Mhz)
Have you ever seen such a fast machine? :-))
greets
Marc
