The weeCee is perhaps the smallest MSDOS gaming PC ever made that doesn’t use emulation.
It is based around an ICOP Vortex86 CPU module, which is a pentium-class x86-compatible embedded system-on-module that is intended for industrial control. However the module also works great for DOS gaming, as it includes a highly-compatible VGA graphics chip.
To this I also added a Soundblaster Pro-compatible sound chip from Crystal Semiconductor, which is still available new-old-stock from utsource, and a gameport-compatible connector for using joysticks and gamepads.
It can also support internal waveblaster MIDI expansions such as the Dreamblaster S2, or external MIDI sound modules like the MT32 and Sound Canvas.
It also includes network support for multiplayer games, as well as a USB connector for mass storage devices.
Enclosure will require a Hammond 1457J1201 case, as well as the end-plates gerbers included in the zip file below.
