DOS? Yuck! Don't you have a hard drive size limit and 8.3 names? I have full code(PC side and PIC side) if you want to use Linux and a serial port. There are some 486 boards that just plain will not work, something about DMA really interferes with being an MP3 player. I'd suggest an LPX-format socket-7 motherboard, you can get them for $15 and have onboard good-quality sound, video, etc, in a small format.
