Why?

It's the pure DOS machine for the software that really doesn't want to run on Windows. I have Windows 98 installed, to make my life easier copying files on and off, but by default it boots into DOS mode and optionally can boot into the "previous OS version" which is MS-DOS 6.22.

The highlight is the Sound-card. A SB-AWE32 - I always wanted one back in the days.
