Man this takes me back. My first computer was a 486 SX/2 66mhz. The DX was nice because it had a math coprocessor. There was a dos 6.22 driver to software "mimic" the coprocessor just to get things like Autocad running. Those were some good days.

Same here. I remember playing M-Chess against some dedicated machines. As I recall, it also searched about 1 knps. You can see a couple of games and my review of M-Chess in Eric Hallsworth magazine here:

My first PC was 286/12 Mhz with 1 MB RAM. I was able to beat Rexchess occasionally. With next computer no way anymore :) .

from there it is only a small step to get it run on a 286, 8088 or 6502.

Not's a easy task.... minimum 386dx and 8mb ram. Stockfish 6 in my 486 75mhz (only 16kb cache on cpu) runs at 1kn/s and with 1 min per move can beat all engine from 90s ( 60.000 nodes per move!) . Sadly Stockfish nnue is mission imposible.... 256mb min ram is neccesary , an other compiler problems in GCC & c11 . But Stockfish 6 run like a Mercedes Benz!
