I can't afford a USB floppy drive & some of the unstable games will not run on dos box.

What games are you intending to run,

as a bootable dos disk wont make much difference where as a processor is really fast


Your best bet would be to get an old dos PC..

Where are you from in the world, i got plenty of 486 motherboards

Dunno but $1NZ is a round 60 cents US.
