I'm tempted to get a thin client and put DOS on it - I have a 4:3 VGA
monitor that'd do nicely with it. Alas, no room. So, an emulator it
is, for now.

If I could find a .wav file of an AT starting up and beeping, maybe
that'd help me stick to DOSBOX...

It's funny how much sound plays a part in my mostalgia - the boot,
those loud power supply fans, spinning MFM drives, one beep good, two
beeps bad out of a little tinny speaker inside the case. The Telix
connect sound. All of the sounds in DOOM...
