Cool, so. It turns out YOU can create your own copy of the BIOS ROM for the IBM Enhanced Graphics Adapter (EGA) using the zip on this archive.org upload https://archive.org/details/6277356-ega-bios-source/
It contains the listings (from the IBM EGA manual i suppose, which included them), and shell scripts to compile them. The script runs on Unix and uses the `emu2` program to run the text-mode DOS programs (MASM.EXE and LINK.EXE which are included in the zip). I had to clone and compile emu2 myself (just like the good old days).

Suppose I want to start designing cases for my homebrew computers: bit tired of screwing naked PCBs on wooden boards and call it a day.
I don't have a 3D printer, nor a CNC, nor a laser cutter. I'll have to outsource the production.
The only thing I can do in-house is the design.
So I'm asking all of you: what do you think would be the best course?
2D CAD and then design the panels so they can be joined/glued together?
Have a go at some 3D design tool and try my luck with 3D printing?Any other idea?
Any software you would recommend for the specific use-case (i have a bit of experience with LibreCAD)? -
Slooowly working through all the labels.
And I will have to do it all again with the second set, to try a different coating technique.Still, it really looks usable!
