URL: PCjs IBM PC emulator for browsers
Click the link below to go to this page
PCjs uses JavaScript to emulate a small collection of hardware and software that I grew up with in the 1970s and 1980s, allowing you to experience their slow CPUs, low-resolution displays, and primitive sound effects, all in the comfort and safety of your desktop or mobile web browser.

Vintage DOS Insight runs on a web page
Pcjs.com is a webpage that emulates vintage computers in JavaScript. It is pretty amazing that this is even possible. Notice the same recipe is being calculated as the one in the Insight-live panel on the left. Doing this is fairly easy. I downloaded an original DOS floppy disk image file from that page, opened it on my Mac and replaced some of the files with those of Insight and then unmounted and uploaded it. But this, and other sites like it, are a bit of a party trick since there is no practical way to save recipes. But you can also do this using DOSBox (and other DOS emulators and virtual machines). Just download the files using the link below, put them in a folder and mount it as drive A: in DOSBox. Then switch to drive A: and type "insight".
