To extend the praise:
I recently dug out a Celeron 600 based POS system I bought some years ago for ~30EUR. It runs Win98 w/ the option to boot into plain DOS 7.
I used it to demo DOjS on several occasions.

I had a really hard time to find some drivers for Win98 for that machine, but it wasn't really usable as a DOS gaming machine because of missing sound support.

Tried VSBHDA out of a hunch and now I have one another capable and compact DOS PC...
Only thing left to look into why E1000PKT hangs when VSBHDA is loaded. But that is for another day
