Umm, couldn't you pull a 286 out of the trash to do that, and use
the 600MHz PC for something a bit more worthy of all those MIPS?
Don't know how big your DOS program is, but I'd be *shocked* if
it wouldn't fit on a single floppy. Would then not need a HDD,
CD-ROM drive, etc, etc...
Is that PC running DOS inside a Linux dosemu window, or standalone
DOS?
