Selects which 1088XEL joystick port receives input from its PS/2 mouse.

The maker publishes a schematic and Gerbers and links to both bare-PCB layouts at OSH Park. This is a self-built selector rather than a current assembled product; the generic layout requires suitable LED and switch openings in the chosen case.

Adds an internal CompactFlash hard drive to the 1088XEL through its MPBI expansion interface.

Both variants have public fabrication material, and the Rapidus board adds KiCad source. Use only the specified Texas Instruments 74F-series logic. The interface needs flashjazzcat's special 1088XEL Ultimate 1MB BIOS, replacing the original SIDE PBI and loader. Keep the IDE cable under 10 inches when practical. The maker does not guarantee every CompactFlash card and reports the best results with genuine SanDisk cards rated at 30 MB/s or less.
