  I don't care if it's fastest. I came here for the redicilous amounts of hacking and silliness. And I was not disappointed.

  I can't say I ever thought a computer that runs bare metal DOS Quake 2 but then just boots into modern Windows to play Trombone Champ is something I would ever use but holy hell do I respect the effort. Absolutely nuts

  Something about rebooting from 1998 to 2025 and back again in a couple seconds is really entertaining to me

  Dual booting Windows 11 and MS-DOS/Windows 98 is insane

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LIPTQjQAPE&amp;t=1367">22:47</a> You mean I DIDN&apos;T have to buy a Nintendo 64 to play this? I could&apos;ve just waited until someone recompiled it for my childhood Windows 98 machine?

  Fun fact, IBM mainframe (z/OS) maintains complete backward compatibility. So, for example, an OG card reader will still work as a valid input device on new systems being shipped today.

  I can&apos;t express how pleasing these abominations you hack together are. Showing the sound card going from a 5150 to this PC just makes me happy.

  I wouldn&apos;t even trust this Power Supply to use with a 20 Watts 12V MR16 halogen bulb ... <br><br>but this project is nice &amp; better working than I expected

  I love your ability to just ISA stuff in the modern era, nobody else is doing software projects like this.<br>For software projects I actually made my own MS-Dos distribution called Ultimate MS-Dos 7.1 (You should be able to find it without to much hassle).<br>It has a USB stick and Floppy version and comes with a modified MS-Dos 7.1 with higher compatibility (Windows 3.11 mostly works) and all the tools you&apos;d typically need for this kind of system with the cd or even dvd-rom drivers, mouse drivers, slowdown utilities (Fastest DOS PC is only a plus if you can also slow it down for the games that require it).<br>Considering its basically what you wanted for this video it may help out in future projects since then you don&apos;t need to go the Windows 98 route.
