I find that PCem suppors SCSI, so its nice way how to get some SCSI experience (i already did). I wonder if exist some Sata or IDE to SCSI adapters? Because otherwise real SCSI is not big deal (im tired of noise mechanical drivers) and there are fast PCI IDE controllers too. I only saw in some Phils …

Thanks for info.. I forgot on this project, during experimenting i probably killed Keyboard port.. Do you think that its possible to repair it by some soldering and chip replacement? MB is booting, but keyboard is leds are only blinking and machine not register key presses.

That's fine when you're running on 2GHz+ processors with 4GB RAM. It isn't going to cut it on Pentium and older hosts. The overhead of all the programming guard rails is just too high. Especially in DOS, where you get (what's left of) what an 8086 could address. It not simply true, if we avoid …

There are still living project but relative low-level to you - some BASIC, DJGPP with MGRX, GCC-IA16, FreePascal, OWC, NASM, FASM, JWASM and other assemblers and C compilers. The modern high level languages simply relies on rich API support from host OS. I understand, but i dont really want too …

I just still didn't get why when you want all the comfort of modern OS and languages why you bother with DOS at all just code it for linux/windows/mac and no problem. You cannot expect such comfort on DOS that was mostly abandoned many years ago and when still running in some embedded apps it runs …
