Big Flippers Ep5 - The Big Sold, but first I need to install MS-DOS on a 90's 486 PC and upgrade it!

In this final episode of Big Flippers, Mike upgrades a 90's PC with modern parts and installs MS-DOS on it just in time for the AMEK Big 28 mixing board to be picked up by it's new owner, Adam Horwitz of New Jersey. The console will be living in his home studio where Adam plans to provide mixing services online.
The primary content of this video is a walk through tutorial in which you'll see how to set up a compact flash card as a solid state alternative to an old noisy mechanical HDD. Then you'll get a how-to on swapping out the mechanical floppy drive for a solid-state floppy emulator. The computer power supply gets recapped and a new fan, the coin battery gets replaced, and then the installs! The next thing covered is how to install MS-DOS 6.22, then how to install a mouse driver, and lastly the installation of AMEK's Super True automation program. The final thing to do before Adam shows up is to configure the computer to automatically boot directly into the Super True automation program as soon as the PC gets turned on. Adam got a whole lot of console, so to help him wrap his head around the system, he spent the first half of the day learning from me on my Big 44 at LBA Studios (https://www.lbastudios.com).
I'm selling a nearly identical automation computer on Reverb. Here's a link to that listing: https://reverb.com/item/82976454-amek...
