Raspberry Pi for DOS

Kinda interesting decisions. Hardware recreations of the Pentium and various vintage sound cards, handles various problems like ITX not being available on modern computers (in case you want to connect a sound card directly), can present USB kbam as PS/2 kbam, and presents an sd card as a DOS-recognizable hard drive.
Maybe when someone does this for a late 90s macintosh equivalent I can recover all my ProTools Free Edition projects from 2001
It's got a little clicker installed on the motherboard and a BIOS hack where when the SD card is being read from at an elevated level of activity the board starts just making clicking sounds to make it sound like a platter drive is operating inside. I've heard people joke about such things but never seen anyone *actually* wire that up.
@mcc I've got one of BMOW's Floppy Emus for Apple II/Macintosh, with the "noisy disk" add-on speaker. It convincingly mimics both the Disk II noises and the click of hard disk activity. I am considering finding some way to encase the speaker so that it is less loud.
This YT vid of mine demonstrates the hard disk clicking:
