    I've been tempted to get one to run Windows for Workgroups 3.11 on, and create a retro environment. DOSBOX seems to work OK for now.

    I took my old Asterisk server (a vintage 2000 era AMD chip) and installed
    DOS 5.0 & Windows for Workgroups 3.11 on it for kicks. From post to full
    boot (which includes verifying the swap file) takes *5* seconds! Some of
    the old apps like Cardfile were great in their time and could possibly
    be today if Microsoft allowed it to run.

    BTW I find it hysterical that M$ let malware sign into a valid M$ approved
    app on Windows 10.
