And isn't possible to compile WXP version with that old MinGW32 used for DOS version? With accepting the limitation of NE2000... I don't know how much differ the various targets but I think adding some #ifdef could solve it. It seems to me a paradox that it runs on much more limited OS like DOS with HW but cannot run on old Windows that still supports 100x more wider API...

DOS gives me freedom to unlimited HW access.
