Yea, I have thought about that as well. I think I was just wanting a good old machine as a pure stand alone and yes if it was upstairs here I would just use the other kvm I have and do it that way. As for dosbox, yes it can do a pretty good job (I have used it plenty) but it is some of the older windows based games that it can't do.

Believe it or not that windows 95 box detected all of my other machines without an issue. That alone was a huge feat.

Oh and get this VNC started working?!!? How or why I do not know. But that hasn't solved it as it will not let the dos programs display properly. Well back to the drawing board.
