Wanted to get back into the DOS era of software and games (it’s what I grew up on.) I would have preferred something older, but I ended up with a Slot 1 Pentium III/500. Fortunately it has an ISA slot so all the truly DOS friendly sound cards.
Specs: Gateway 4W4 Something Pentium III/500 384MB Yamaha YMF715 ISA sound card (SoundBlaster Pro and OPL3) S3 Trio 3D/2X AGP mt32-pi (Roland MT-32 and General MIDI) Generic Compact Flash-IDE adapter Gravis Gamepad that still has that little joystick you screw in. 20” Dell Trinitron (forgot the model)
Testing it with Tyrian here, but my plan is to play through Ultima Underworld soon on it.
What’s everybody else’s vintage computer of choice?
I'm also running DOSBox-X as my choice these days. I don't have the room either anymore.
My rig originall was a 486x33mhz 4mb and a generic sound card that had the volume control on the physical card... Eventually got a Pentium 150Mhz next.
