Nice, version 1.2 IDK if I'm imagining it or was that collection on a different host 3+ years back? Might have been where I dug it out before since textfile's CD archive is relatively "new" Yeah, the address doesn't look familiar to me either - It was at least a year or so ago that I was scouring …

BitWrangler - thanks for the link! I think it's something I found already on another site, though - this is from the readme and doesn't sound like what we're looking for, or at least doesn't describe it that way: "About Jdos: Jdos' major advancement is that it permits the use of the mouse in DOS. It …

I'll second the request for the Jurassic DOS - I've found several things called JDOS, but none of them are what you are describing.

For those of you using Access 3.01 (which uses text mode), you might be interested to hear I'm currently rewriting the application using Borland's Turbo C. I noticed that 3.01 fails to run on the Mister PC/XT core , AFAIK because of incompatibilities between Borland Turbo Basic and the XTIDE BIOS . …

Also, has anyone seen a BIOS update for the Compaq 425 - Series 3200 - Assembly # 160643-001? I'd try that too!

Also - if anyone has a 486 with a video card that has a Cirrus Logic GD-5420 chip, or any machine with a video card with that chip - could you try out Ultima I and see if it works for you?

So maybe some drivers or utilities for a Cirrus Logic GD-54XX? The only problem is that the XX part covers quite a few chipsets... Here's what's on the actual chip: Cirrus Logic CL-GD 5420-75QC-C 21827-277CG 9341 T MALAYSIA-A I also managed to get a picture of the top - it's a tough shot without …

Hi all, I have a Compaq 425 all in one system that has 20MB and 486dx100 overdrive chip. Every Ultima game I've tried so far has worked well, except for some sound glitches with the later games. Ultima I isn't working correctly, though. It loads fine, and looks fine until I move my character - then …

Update! I actually tracked down the correct Doug Brandon!

This may be a good time to hunt down the authors of …

Command line is OK, but something that will load up a directory of files, and maybe even read inside zips …

Horun - I forgot to ask you - with the VGA cards you have, have any of them been tested in a 5150? I'm looking for examples from people that have actually had them working in their machiens. Also - a new detail from the cold boot problem - if it's been on for a while and being used, I can turn it …
