    What?! MS-DOS 7.1?! The latest version of MS-DOS I ever knew about was 6.22. How the heck did This come out and I just didn’t know?!

      This was the version that came with Windows 98, this version just got separated from that OS, probably not 100% official

      @@PIPERdotEXE Definitely not 100% official. This release was hacked together by the "China DOS Union". It's not an official Microsoft release, though the fact that it still exists means they likely didn't care too much. Personally I'd prefer to SYS a hard disk from a 98 floppy and then copy in the utilities and drivers I know I'll need.

    Im glad to see I'm not the only one tilting ar windwills. Ive been on a multi-year quest to build my own mp3 player. I'm using a raspberry pi zero 2 though. Ive been struggling with input. I decided on a rotary encoder (ala iPod) from Adafruit. I'd love to see your dos mp3 player come to life.

      Tbh, I have taken the hard route, mine really isn't the best way, and a Pi is the more sensible choice, but I saw there was a player for DOS and the ideas just converged lol. There's literally no reason to do it this way, but I was like, why not

    NIce project. I really enjoyed watching you work though and solve many of the issues. From a guy who used to teach Dos 5.0 back in the day it got me to thinking, this may be a project I take up in the new year (2025) as a challenge myself. Just subscribed as well, looking forward to your future videos.

    Love this project. So many memories from my first job as a tech at a small computer shop. I spent hours optimizing driver loading order on dos 6.22 to maximize the UMB usage and free up the lower memory to get games to run. Alas, I haven't done anything with that knowledge in so long. This little device has so much more processor, ram and storage than most of my systems up into the mid to late 90's!
    P.S. I also do initial design work in Illustrator. I export them as SVG into FreeCAD (some fiddle farting around required), correct the scale and then extrude and finish as desired for my 3d printer.

    Neat that you even attempted it, and expended a great deal of effort. I do wonder if using FreeDOS would've provided less friction though. Would it be too much of a cheat to use some kind of SBC, possibly an RPi, and just run DOSBox on it?

    You do know that Virtualbox can use real harddisks instead of images, right? It can do so even on Windows.
    You also do know how to change the drive in fdisk, right?
    Glad you got it almost worked out regardless. :)
