   I improved the security of Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego to bring it more in line with 2025 realities.
   Sadly there's no USB support in MS-DOS so I can't easily add support for yubikeys/u2f.

   Maybe once I design a PS/2 U2F...

     @richard can't. I'm named Turing. I can't get within 15 feet of an Engima machine without breaking it.
     This nearly got me thrown out of the computer history museum once...

     @foone maybe chuck a PS/2 enigma machine in front of it.

     @FantasmitaAsex Not really. There's some hardware which lets you use USB flash drives on DOS so it has a sort of driver for that, and some BIOSes have native support for USB keyboards/mice which they can translate to PS/2 to make them work on DOS, but no. DOS itself didn't really have USB drivers.

     @foone there wasn't a USB driver for DOS ?

     I thought about seeing how easy it'd be to develop a U2F PS/2 device for shits and giggles, and the first design I find is, of course, based around an 8051. everyone punch out another hole on your reward card!

     technically speaking I don't think it's possible to make a PS/2 U2F or FIDO2 token. I don't think PS/2 is a supported communication method, though there really shouldn't be any reason why it couldn't be included (maybe in FIDO3)

     @Sonikku I couldn't get my fingerprint reader working on DOS

     @foone what, no passkeys?
