Hi Ho!

Tried to build a DOS All in One PC for my Roland LAPC-I, Gravis Ultrasound, etc - turned out pretty good. Please have a look - comments, etc welcome.

Nice video and nice build! We have similar taste. Also, you're a lousy Turrican player. 😜

Roland SC-55 of course - fixed that in my list (CM -300 is the one without display from my other old video)

I started with my Roland LAPC-I back in the early 1990s having my first DOS PC - a 386/40, moved on to a 486/66, Pentium 200, Pentium II 350, til this one -
the 1 GHz AMD Athlon Thunderbird (FSB 200) - keeping all the time the Roland LAPC-I.
Love to have it now in this fastest ISA Board I found (2 Slots) together with the Gravis Ultrasound, so I can use DBGL (DOS Box Game Launcher and stuff), but also native
DOS (Second Reality runs great). What do you think? Any thoughts?

I don't know whether this board supports a processor that consumes less power and runs in that board.

Why do you want something with less power consumption? The one I have know is pretty easy to cool down - I would consider
my build as silent pc.

Perhaps building next time a very slow 386 SX would be also interesting in terms of reducing cpu load and stuff using the Gravis Ultrasound.
