It's normal for tastes and priorities change over time. I almost completely stopped messing with the hardware side and also getting new hardware. Sometimes I pick up this and that for free or unfairly cheap, but mostly I have everything I'd ever need. I have projects in my head, but not as motivated to go through with them as I was 3-5 years ago.

I could sell most of what I have, but I know I go through phases and there is a good chance at some point I'll regain my interest and by then most of what I have, including the now cheap and common stuff, will be unobtanium.

I have noticed my interest declining in general. I think much of this just has to do with time. Nearly all of my free time is spent with kids or family time in general. I just have less personal time and what free time I do have I try and make count. If I do have a few minutes it's usually spent with on my guitar hobby. I did recently pick up a ROG Ally thinking that the late night video game sessions before bed might translate. I used to play my Switch a fair bit, but game releases haven't kept my interest.

Thats a cool machine. Just looked it up. Is the soundcard supported in DOS? I am guessing not, and that it relies on SB emulation in DOS window from Windows?

I couldn't remember since most of the games I was playing with it were Windows based, so I found the backup of my drivers. It appears that it is a Soundmax chipset and WDM_AC97, so yeah it wouldn't work from DOS unless SBEmu could do it.
