At this point because these thingz slowly become VINTAGE and rare I will be content with anything that works. Will those work ? I am more worried about compatibility …

Well I found the previous model but I guess this is not that much different: http://www.gialandra.it/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/info_info_valor_datasheets_3006002000-Fujitsu_Futro.pdf That looks to have same chipset as the S550. And this is a later model https://www.parkytowers.me.uk/thin/Futro/ …

So according to the above the HP T5710 is still the best all around DOS/Win98 thin client to get . The HP T5710 should not need an extra sound card for DOS One observation: you are very focused on specific machines. I don't think you ever listed what your specific goals and target Win98/DOS use …

My two cents. I've gone back and forth for years, trying to figure out the thin client footprint that works for me. This is what I settled with. Primarily I run two thin clients (already mentioned above) to cover two different eras of 90's PC gaming. 1) Neoware CA2 (originally purchased for $25) : …

So if HP T5720 does not work with SBemu does that mean the HP T5710 will not work either ? I use and recomand HP T5720 for retro win98 gaming. I played Diablo 2 Lod, Drakan, Quake 2, Unreal and other games at decent resolution 800x600. It has some problems with sound in dos. With WDM drivers it …

The one I found has the following specs: AMD G-T44R 1.2 ghz + 2gb ram + 2gb msata SSD So that + a sound card would work in DOS right ? Also on the specs the sound card is listed as Realtek ALC262 can I get away with SBEMU or something similar ? http://www.dunaelektronika.com/cms/upload/image/product …

I have found Fujitsu FUTRO S550, Fujitsu FUTRO S700 and Fujitsu FUTRO S900 for about 20 euros. Do you think they meet DOS and Win98 requirements ?

Thank you for your detailed reply. * The HP T5710 seems to be a good choice but it only has an 800mhz CPU is there any similar thin client with more power ? * The Furto S400 also seems like a good choice but it needs a sound card ? can't be used as it is ? Any other thin client you would recommend ? …
