Hi all, I'm foax, and I'm from Finland. I've been a DOS gal since the early 90s, and some of my favourite memories are of fiddling with jumpers on 486 motherboards and writing complicated DOS startup menus for every conceivable memory-related situation. Good times.

I was at Assembly this year in Helsinki, and it inspired me to get back into this stuff. I've been having a nostalgia trip with various emulated PCs on 86Box. Also, I've started picking up C and x86 assembly again, because I want to start making demos for old DOS PCs. Very interested in anything to do with OPL3s.

Anyhow, I've been getting help with things from this forum for years, so finally thought it was time to create an account and say hi! Plus, I'd love to share some stuff I'm working on when it's ready!

Welcome to Vogons!

I had been lurking for nearly a decade until I created an account myself in 2014.

I hope I get to experience Assembly once in my life (not likely to happen, any time soon for various reasons), but I can at least say that I did experience both NAID Apraxia events back in the day. Good times, great memories!
