best dos machine

i have thought mostly running ms dos only and more like having 286, 386 or 486 machines. i also thought of having a machine that has tons and tons of stuff in it like sound card, joystick stuff, video card, ram extras, hard drive, both floppy drive sizes, all isa slots in use by cards etc... -----Original Message----- From: Peter Corlett <abuse at cabal.org.uk> To: General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts <cctalk at classiccmp.org> Sent: Tue, Jul 8, 2014 8:07 am Subject: Re: best dos machine On Tue, Jul 08, 2014 at 06:02:04AM -0400, Derrick Meury wrote: Just pick up a contemporary hand-me-down and stick FreeDOS on it. That'll run a whole load of DOS stuff very well.

FreeDOS will even run on an Intel Mac if you try hard enough.
