MS-DOS Client Brings ChatGPT to the IBM PC #ML #VintageComputing @hackaday
AI-powered chatbots are part of the future of computing, and it’s only a matter of time before you’ll see them appear on every internet-connected gadget. If you thought you were safe from this by sticking to an ancient MS-DOS PC though, think again: Yeo Kheng Meng has recently written a ChatGPT client that runs on DOS.
Yeo Kheng Meng tested the client on a real 1984 vintage IBM 5155 Portable PC. This semi-portable PC/XT model sports a 4.77 MHz 8088 CPU, 640 kB of RAM and a CGA video card with a built-in monochrome monitor. An NE2000 ISA network card, running in 8-bit mode, enables the Portable to connect to the internet.
