Would you like to read about another 39 year old DOS bug that I found recently? This one causes an unlucky file to get truncated if it is in the wrong spot of a FAT12 partition when you move from an early version of DOS to a later one.
Get some popcorn and enjoy!

FreeDOS: History, Legacy, and a Valuable Resource for Old Machines
FreeDOS is a free and open‐source operating system designed to be compatible with MS‑DOS. Developed to keep the DOS experience alive even after Microsoft ended support for MS‑DOS, FreeDOS has grown into a complete environment that not only preserves classic DOS functionality but also introduces modern enhancements.

I see a number of recent Roland MT-32 clone projects out there, built using Raspberry Pi and the like. I don't see any that are being sold, pre-assembled.
The BulkyMIDI-32 looks great, but I don't think it's being sold, assembled.
If such things are on offer, can someone point me to a decent unit?

I read that it fixes a lot of bugs! 
How is the DOS PC game 'Discworld' 30 years old! 
I wrote about this fantastic, yet very difficult point and click adventure in 2010 and also enhanced the original MIDI music for use within @scummvm
A fascinating new look at what is basically an Apple II Mockingboard soundcard...for the PC...sold by Mindscape.

Probably not how this one should be completed. I guess the tennis ball did cross the line. #tim #theincrediblemachine #dos #msdos
Progress! Ignore the camera pretending it has a heartbeat as it tries to decide what to focus on. Still nothing on the CGA, but I feel a lot better hearing that tone after @emily pointed out that I have to jumper the internal speaker on.
Finally, it's done. Shoveled some games, demos, and tools onto it to showcase the PicoGUS in its various modes. Wavetable is working great, too. 
Windows 95 runs particularly well on the system, despite "only" being a DX4-100. I guess 32 MB RAM, a rather fast hard disk supporting block mode, and a graphics chip with a blitter help quite a bit.
