I love the hard drive sound emulation! I find that modern restorations of vintage hardware using SD cards to emulate drives are missing an important part of the nostalgic experience when they just start up completely silently.

I was about the comment the same. It adds a lot of authenticity to the whole game loading process!

I actually still have an original 8088 sitting in a closet. I need to figure out something to do with it some day.

Pull the CMOS battery. Recap before you put power to it...make sure the power supply is healthy. Do those things and it'll run 40 years from now.
