In a classic "it's me" move, now that it's January (after the #DOScember deadline), I finally managed to boot the 486DLC into DOS.
Also wrote my first XT-IDE ROM in the process, not because it's technically needed, but because I wanted auto-detection, because I was too lazy to figure out the "geometry" of the 256MB DoM I use... 🤪
Also managed to get online using mTCP (IRC log feat. @ratman), and figured out this thing is pretty slow for a 486DLC. Oh, well... 🤷♂️
