Actually went a step further, and put together an old dos machine from junk I had laying around here.

It's amazing all of the little tricks I used to know that I forgot, but was kind of fun getting it all to work . Manually editing driver files, for custom port assignments, was also strange, as no virtualization existed then, and if a driver was hard coded to 3e8, only way to change port was edit the driver to another address (3f8[com port junk].)

Will soon see what is readable, and if you remember any old stuff you were interested in, let me know.

The only thing I have to look up now, is a custom utility I used to use, to format my diskettes in a non-standard manner to get more capacity :-)

This may be fun, or it may be boring as hell, but at least I took a trip down memory lane where you could just 'sys a: c:' for a boot sector, and not worry about the registry or anything else!
