    Hello fellow humans, jumping in since i'm testing this thing's capabilities This is a full 2009 PC entirely built from literal scrap parts laying around my house

    it's a PEGATRON IPMEL-PRC motherboard with a Core 2 Duo E7500, a Realtek RTL8168 NIC (had to frankenstein an mTCP packet driver for this thing) and a CD-ROM drive

    Installed FreeDOS, using RTEND.DOS and DIS_PKT.DOS since i'm trying to get an NDIS2 driver on the mTCP stack: it works! even if it's painfully laggy lmao (well synchro.net has always been very laggy atleast for me here in Italy)

    Ok that's it, i guess i'm going to retreat for the next few months or log in sometimes
