## Summary
Getting Doom to run on unusual hardware has become a favorite way for programmers and hardware hackers to show off their skills. Thanks to their efforts, this classic 1990s game has appeared on calculators, cameras, printers, and countless other devices that were never intended for gaming. Artur Bieniek has now found another one: a $30 digital clamp meter with just 32 KB of RAM. Normally used to measure current, voltage, and resistance, the inexpensive FNIRSI DMC-100 clamp meter doesn't look much like a gaming machine.
