A vintage PC simulator where you pick the parts and boot MS-DOS
Claude built a browser tool simulating old PC hardware, including a rebuilt MS-DOS 4.01, for choosing parts and setting up the BIOS.

The full story
The maker wanted a realistic simulation of old PC hardware, not DOSBox, where odd combinations of motherboards, processors, disks and vintage graphics parts can be configured and started with MS-DOS. Because the open source MS-DOS 4.0 was limited, Opus recompiled and built a new MS-DOS 4.01 to run on it.
The post says Opus worked for two weeks nonstop on high settings. The maker says they are still learning to set up an old BIOS. The post gives no detail on how accurate the simulation is.
