I don’t understand the authors urge to do this.
I did worse, resurrected a 1999 industrial 486SX on Win98B. It was fun as hell trying to figure it all out again, and most references are gone from the early web. Which reminds me, time to get that 10-BaseT NIC working!
I have a 486, but with MS-DOS 6.2 and Norton Commander as a UI. Haven't booted it up for about a decade, though, but don't see a reason why it shouldn't work. My Win98SE computer (Pentium 100), on the other hand, is still my gaming rig. Don't need anything better for HoMM2, Master of Orion 2, and TES: Daggerfall.
