Bits&Terminal Jeff<p>Note that this is not emulation, FreeDOS is booting directly on this hardware. It can even run DOS games, however compatibility doesn't seem to be 100%. Still, seeing one of my favorite games from the 90s - Master of Orion - running on the setup made me quite happy.</p><p><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/retroGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retroGaming</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/DOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DOS</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/FreeDOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeDOS</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/MasterOfOrion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MasterOfOrion</span></a></p>
