V 2.04 is not finished but there are recent updates of DJDEV 2.04 by author of new Hexen II engine and it seems to work fine. It's necessary to update if you want to use latest GCC 4.6.x correctly.

I use this updated DJDEV, GCC 4.6.2 and CWSDPMI 7 on PC with 4GB and it works fine.

If I remember well, there was warning about using --lzma compression because it's much slower to decompress (significant on slower machines). I personally use --best

DOS gives me freedom to unlimited HW access.
