Cool idea

I saw your video on this...great setup. Love that it has a OPL4 hardware wavetable and game port! Love your channel, keep up the good work! Have you reviewed a Thinkpad 770x/z yet?

Hey, thanks for checking out the video! I wish I had more ThinkPads available, they’re either so rare or in such high demand that prices have become ridiculous. The only one I currently own is a T22 with a Pentium III. If I remember correctly, the 770X came with a Pentium II, for DOS I usually prefer machines with a Pentium MMX since they work better with SETMUL, allowing for more precise performance tuning.

Nice use for an old or modern laptop even with a broken or missing screen. I have done one Lenovo Legion gaming laptop which belonged to my nephew as it had a badly damaged screen which I turned into a gaming halftop.

Is that a Solo? 2500 maybe? I had one of these as my first "real" laptop issued to me by work in 99, they let me keep it when I left in 07 because the tech had increased so rapidly. I had it for years and years until a "too fast" hard drive change snapped the connector off the bottom of the board. Sad day indeed--been on the look out for one since but they go for $100+ now days and I have plenty of other DOS era devices around so its hard to justify another one.

It's a Solo 9100 with Pentium 233MMX. It has a Yamaha OPL3+OPL4 (Hardware wavetable) that works in Pure DOS. It also has a built-in MIDI/GAME port! I thoroughly enjoying it. It's reviewed on YT at Retrobecanes.
