Video Corruption
For Pocket8086 Retro DOS Computer 8086-10Mhz Clear
I got a Pocket 8086 with a bad video card. The screen usually corrupts at power-on or mode change, which means that my Pocket 8086 is a dud. (Example: https://youtu.be/wLqVMfNOWT4)
The default system image ships with a CH375 driver that is incompatible with most USB flash drives, but this is easily fixed by replacing it with the FreddyV V0.22 variant.
International shipping to Toronto by 4PX was very fast, but they used foreign day labor from the Pearson yards that couldn't find my delivery address, which is a neighborhood landmark.
The seller is very responsive and helpful.

Greetings sir!
Thank you for your feedback. After checking, we have confirmed that it is due to poor contact between the CPLD chip and the socket, possibly caused by the chip detaching from the socket during transportation. We will search for your order as soon as possible and send you the chip location.
