MICROSOFT has released the source code to MS-DOS 4.00 under the MIT license ...
https://cloudblogs.microsoft.com/opensource/2024/04/25/open-sourcing-ms-dos-4-0/
"Ten years ago, Microsoft released the source for MS-DOS 1.25 and 2.0 to the Computer History Museum, and then later republished them for reference purposes. This code holds an important place in history and is a fascinating read of an operating system that was written entirely in 8086 assembly code nearly 45 years ago.
Today, in partnership with IBM and in the spirit of open innovation, we’re releasing the source code to MS-DOS 4.00 under the MIT license. There’s a somewhat complex and fascinating history behind the 4.0 versions of DOS, as Microsoft partnered with IBM for portions of the code but also created a branch of DOS called Multitasking DOS that did not see a wide release."
Jeff Wilcox & Scott Hanselman

Fact 99:
The Lappy 486 that Strong Bad uses in Real-Live E-mails is a Compaq LTE laptop
Additionally, the DOS used is likely to be the MS-DOS

Found this obscure MS-DOS game in an old computer's disk drive. Anyone know anything about this?

i've been meaning to post this for a while now, so here it is
The Gateway GP6-400
this is my retro pc setup - a modified gateway gp6-400 from 1999. this model in particular really appealed to me; it's powerful enough to run most games up to around 1998 or so, but it still has fairly realistic performance for a typical gaming pc of that era. i still went ahead and swapped out some parts as well as added some new ones in order to get exactly what i want out of it, however.
here's the specs:
- Pentium II 400mhz
- 128mb RAM
- 250gb HDD (win98 partition only uses 6.4gb for accuracy
- Voodoo3 AGP graphics card
- Integrated Ensoniq AudioPCI audio
- ES1868F ISA audio card for DOS gaming
- DVD-RW drive
- 3.5" floppy drive
- 250mb ZIP drive
on the pc there exist two operating systems: windows 98 second edition and ms-dos 6.2 with windows 3.1. now, you likely find this odd considering that ms-dos 7.1 is already accessible from windows 98, but i reeeally wanted a true early 90s dos experience. so, i have a full installation of dos 6.2 on a separate 425mb partition (the size of a decent hdd from 1994 or so) that i access via boot disk.
as you can also see from the pictures, there's a crt monitor as well: the 17" princeton eo710. it was expensive - well-kept crt monitors tend to be that way unfortunately - but it works wonderfully and the display is gorgeous. i try to keep it at around half brightness and contrast, which can make seeing things in games hard at times, but i really would rather not risk wearing it down lol.
overall, it works splendidly. i'm able to run any games made up to around 2001 or so fairly well, and while there's been issues dealing with stupid win98 bullshit, it hasn't been too bad to work on. it's been a dream of mine to own a computer like this for ages, and now that i finally have one...i'm really happy :)
here's some more pics

and finally, some half-life along with a better view of the front of the pc:
