Thanks to PCBWay for sponsoring this episode! pcbway.com In this episode, I mod the Full Tower PC to replace that Varta battery. Then I test out the 5.25 inch floppy drive and the ports on that CDROM controller. I show how to transfer files to Windows 95 over Wi-Fi and how to use a DOS startup disk. Then I make a MIDI device using a Raspberry Pi that emulates a Roland MT-32!!
