I've been working on a little project while I've been away.
Maybe one of the smallest computers ever to run Windows 98SE natively, with Video, Sound, LAN and USB, no emulation, bare metal.
It's been a mission as it was never meant to run this OS and driver hunting was insane!

@Gammitin Tell us what's inside, please please please please 🥺

Quite a bit of time went into this, but I now have a clean device manager and the system works well, it also shuts down properly.

[gammitin@mastodon.social]

Everything is working really well, damn 😍

@Gammitin love the period accurate music video

How about some 5" Colour CRT action 😂

I've added a MS-DOS mode menu, with SBEMU and a mouse driver. All working, here's some DOOM:

@Gammitin oh I do love a device manager with no fat yellow question marks. Nice job tracking down drivers.

The computer is an: eBox 3350MX-AP

Here's inside, the case is basically a large heatsink.

I plan to share the OS install image so anyone else can use it, ready to go.

The drivers for the system are in a folder on the C drive, along with other bits of software I used, but I'll share them separately too, the difficult ones, we're:
Video, Sound and USB.
