Legacy BIOS       2. Boot from USB stick       3. Two COM ports       4. Windows 10/11              And then I'll try to source that WiFi-232. When I did a google       search I seemed to find kits rather than something       consumer-friendly.              Note that I'm planning on setting up a so-called "sneakernet"       using the Fidonet software that I already have running under       PDOS/386 as proof of concept (tobruk and msged).              I'm planning on retreating behind my BBS and being a       "techmonk" - instead of sitting on a mountain going       "ummmmm" I'm going to answer C questions.              BFN.
