hi,
I've never heard of a Pd for DOS, but why not install Linux on that machine and run Pd in the terminal without
I hope to tell nothing wrong, but I think I remember running Pd under Win 3.11, and there is the "nogui mode" for Pd. I never tested on a pure DOS OS. But I think that should be possible, too, (why not? netsocket...?, audiodrivers?, MIDI?)
use 8 or 9? It is only a 120mhz pentium1, do you think that would meet the minimum system requirements?
With a PI 120 you probably will not be able to run realtime audio in good quality. I think you should be able to use 11 kHz with high latency (depends on your patch). For 44k realtime audio you may use a PI 350Mhz (that is in my experience the miniminimum system requirement).
marius.
