Just awaiting a new DVD drive for my ThinkPad T42, but in the meantime, I've made a slim USB drive with Freedos:
- USB storage and bootable
- OPL3 Adlib and Soundblaster Pro
- USB Mouse support.
With this extended battery, I have hours of dos gaming fun on the go.

@Gammitin would love to know how you got the audio stuff working. I have a T42 that I use for Win98 but having a pure DOS environment would be nice to have as well.

@Gammitin I've used UNISOUND for pnp ISA cards but never heard of this oddly enough. I'll be sure to check it out. Thanks!

@captainarcee it's a total game changer, you can pretty much get dos sound on anything now, even new computers
