I’ve been meaning to post more about the ESP32-SBC-FabGL board from olimex for a while now.
I’ve now got the board itself, via thepihut in the UK, and the case via tindie and agon australia.
Combining it all with some instructions I found from github, I’ve achieved my current goal, built the PC Emulator, and have a board that semi-directly runs MS-DOS. Ok I recognise there’s technically a layer of emulation happening, but for practical purposes it boots pretty directly to a DOS prompt. Sound is terrible but I’m pretty sure I remember the original having awful sound as well so that’s accurate emulation.
Anyway, simple dos fun. I’d quite like a board from monotech pcs for the fully real experience, but this is so much smaller and cheaper, even if it’s technically not “real”.
