Im not sure what you want me to do with it?

Try and install DOS 6.22 onto it?

It will boot into PCDOS from a floppy.

You must have a Supermicro motherboard, no? As I recall the Intel S5000s didn't have a floppy connector. At least mime didn't.

What is the latest computer/chipset that is known to boot DOS? Think people.

Just about anything will boot into dos and let you run commands.
Getting sound working in dos becomes tricky the more modern the system is this what your asking?

Well I guess I haven't tried it enough.

Some uefis don't include legacy support so that is a non starter.

I dont have a Skt 771 Supermicro board.
Its a Dell Precision 690 with a pair of Xeon X5365. It has the memory risers fitted too without firing it up I cant remember how much RAM it has installed. But Fully Buffered DIMMs are cheap as chips these days.

It has a Floppy connector yes, I specified a floppy drive when I configured it on the Dell web site because I intended to install Windows onto a SAS RAID disk, which meant I needed a floppy drive.
Back then slipstreaming wasnt a thing you could do, it was possible but it was a new feature introduced with SP2, which I think I had as it was about 3 years old when I got the system but it wasnt widely known as a thing and Dell said if you wanted to install Windows onto the array then you had to have a floppy drive. So I did.

It has an IDE channel used for the DVD-RW, 4 SATA 3Gb/s channels and 4 SAS PERC 5/i.

It has some free PCI slots, I will have to dig about in my box of bits to see if I have a DOS compatible sound card. Im pretty sure the onboard HD Audio wont work with DOS.
