The 486DLC running "3DBench", a known benchmarking program for 486-era systems. It achieves 18.8 fps, which is not great, but not terrible for such a system.

   In a classic "it's me" move, now that it's January (after the #DOScember deadline), I finally managed to boot the 486DLC into DOS.

   Also wrote my first XT-IDE ROM in the process, not because it's technically needed, but because I wanted auto-detection, because I was too lazy to figure out the "geometry" of the 256MB DoM I use... 🤪

   Also managed to get online using mTCP (IRC log feat. @ratman), and figured out this thing is pretty slow for a 486DLC. Oh, well... 🤷♂️
