Porting GEOBENCH to the PCW

I have though long and hard wether it would be worth porting GEOBENCH to a new architecture/computer and realized that the perfect platform for that would be the Amstrad PCW , provided that you add some ‘modern’ hardware such as a DK’sound card [ DK’sound clone ] (https://pcwwiki2.com/doku.php?id=hardware:perifericos:dksound) (Mostly for the joystick/mouse capabilities) and a PerryFi wifi modem to use telnet and BBSes. Another thing that would make it perfect is the fact that, in fact, we have a simil-CGA mode that can use up to 4 different colors (Again using an external card). Challenge accepted

What is Chimeric Software?

Chimeric software is a concept born from the retrocomputing community that embraces the capabilities of modern software engineering while asking a simple but fascinating question:

What if?

What if a particular piece of software had existed decades earlier? What if it had been designed to run on the computers of the 8-bit and 16-bit era? What would it have looked like, how would it have behaved, and what compromises or innovations would its creators have made?
