   Hey Internet Friends. I have a question - a bit of research. What "system" from the past had the best / coolest / most interesting boot sequence. Specifically what you got on screen. I mostly grew up on 8-bit micros and DOS PCs. Are there any other systems which evoke "feelings" when they boot?

      I started wit DOS and I modified the autoexec.bat and config.sys so that there was a kind of boot loader with all options needed to choose from. Like no cd-rom drive, no sound blaster and so on. All for the memory 😎
