I'm still deciding on a final configuration but so far I'm happy with this:

Asus P2-99
Pentium II 350 @ 233MHz
128MB SDRam
Matrox G200 AGP
3dfx Voodoo2 12MB
Matrox m3D
Yamaha OPL3-SAx w/ DB60xg clone
1GB Compactflash HDD
Generic CD/RW
Dual boot FreeDOS/Win98 SE using Grub4DOS

I still need a pass through cable before I can use the voodoo2 though.

I wanted a compactflash card so I could easily move files around, but it ended up not working as I'd hoped.
Still, it makes no sound and is pretty fast.

Had to make sure to disable swap under win98 though 😀
Later on I'll find an extremely quiet hdd to use in there.

Could you please elaborate?

Oops, forgot to answer this one.
The adapter is internal so I would have to take the card out every time.

It's easier to use a USB flash stick, another option would be booting linux using gPXE and dd'ing another disk image over.

Hmm, that sounds pretty cool actually. 😀

I got one on it's way and the plan is to have a CF card internally and this one sticking out the back. I have a CF reader in my desktop so I can very quickly load software

That would work if the back was more accessible, as it is it would be easier to take the side of the case off every time. 😀

You can always do a little mod and fit it to a front bay... 😀
