== Motivation == For a while I've been searching for a small computer with these requirements: *Runs real mode DOS programs *Has a somewhat antiquated CPU *Has an Ethernet card and DOS packet driver *Doesn't consume too much power The use case here is to run my [[Twitch DOS Bot]] I've been developing over the years. After the searching I found that there were a few systems that could approximate this: # A Raspberry Pi running [https://dosbox-x.com/ DOSBox-X] # Thin client machines that used VIA CPUs # Expensive single-board computers using a [https://www.vortex86.com/ Vortex86] chip # Cheaper [https://www.86duino.com/?page_id=11 86Duino] boards #An old Eee PC 1000HA I had I eventually decided to go with option 1, a Raspberry Pi emulating DOS. At least, until I saw an offer on eBay: a used [https://buy.advantech.net.au/Boards-Cards/Embedded-Single-Board-Computers-3-5-Single-Board-Computers-By-Processor-AMD-G-Series-Processor/model-PCM-9375F-J0A3.htm?country=Australia&token=637787139068984110&f=AUS Advantech PCM-9375F] for only $50 AUD, which is over $400 less than new. Why such a huge discount? Video output is broken. Which means you can't really do much with this machine. This at minimum would let me run by Internet-connected DOS bot and talk to DOS over a serial port. I've also not had an x86 board with GPIO before, so that seems like something fun to play with. I bought it on November 7 2021 and received it on November 12 2021.
