    Forgot to update everyone on the thin client DOS project. It's an HP
    t5740e thin client PC with 2GB of RAM and a 4GB drive. I formatted
    almost 2GB for the system boot drive and 2GB for the extended DOS
    partition.Originally, I installed DOS 6.22 on it, but I decided to
    put FreeDOS on instead. FreeDOS already has most of the drivers
    needed, so I can install stuff using the USB port.

    Sounds great! I still have a 19" 4:3 monitor I keep around in the hopes
    of setting up a DOS box. I'd love to try going back to DOS for a month
    and see how it goes.

    On Ebay i,ve seen the HP 610's go for about $20 - $30, They're Ideal for running DOS, They usually come with a 1 or 2GB HD.
    My router went out today, Good thing I had my old nighthawk x6 out in the shed.
