The 486DLC is connected to the internet, running IRCjr from the mTCP package. The IRC chat on the screen is in Hungarian, and talks about the adventures getting the system running and online.

   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... 🤷♂️
