Will that same machine support LIF media under DOS Craig? I suspect so, but not sure if DOS and Linux use the BIOS the same way. The 755's are cheap and readily available but still modern enough to make a good vintage play machine if they do.

Bob, I see no reason why it wouldn't work under DOS. The Optiplex 755 was purchased a few years ago as the intel chipset was one of the last to support a floppy drive and works with LIF disks.
