I like old DOS games, especially sierra games, and I like portable systems. I was wondering if anyone has thought of any semblance of a portable DOS machine. Something with either a full keyboard or a joypad with easily configurable buttons, optimized for dos games.

Any ideas?

The ARM in that would make it quite weak (the Pi3B can barely do 15,000 cycles, and then there's that VC4's slow video driver problem that makes even chocolate doom run too slow)

In my experience, the Pi 3 can operate as a slow 386 in DOSBox.
