Hi, I searched for "Jaton" and 8088 and got these results.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xavVRRtr5eY http://stason.org/TULARC/pc/motherboards/H/HEDAKA-8088-HED-918.html It's not much (different layout, etc.), but maybe it will help you a little bit. Perhaps that youtube user knows more about …

Are you using a SD/CF card in you Tandy ? If so, did it got in contact with a Windows or Macintosh machine recently ? Just asking, I think I vaguely remember that other DOS versions used their own media descriptor type or FAT ID, etc. .. Perhaps this could be somehow related to your problem. It …

There is a program called DISK2FDI which exploits a "feature" of systems with two floppy drives to read non-standard formats, but it looks like they are recommending the use of a "Disk2FDI cable" with the current version. Hey, I remember this one. I used this one to backup the Amiga version of …

@ Scali Thank's a lot of the first link! I never knew the OS-tan was a thing. I didn't knew either, but apparently it is. :-) Some time ago I stumbled upon this on DeviantArt. - Ironically, I was looking for some C64 and Amiga artwork there. Since we're talking about Windows 3.1, there's also a tan …

But as we said, DOS is heavily reliant on the 1024 cyl and 2GB cap for almost every single program. http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=50576&p=537876#p537876 Normally, yes. ;) PC-DOS is probably the cooler of the two. Agreed, I also like PC-DOS 3.30 more than the early MS versions (MS-DOS …

Ah, okay, it was just an idea. I also experienced what Scali said on my 386 (EMM386 really slowed down my machine). I don't know much about all the different 486 models, but perhaps it shares the peculiarities of early intel models (no enhanced V86, etc.) ? Or since this is a Cyrix chip, maybe it …

I don't know about native win games but I lately used a 386DX-40 with Win 98 (!) and with the right level of patience I was happy with it thank also to the GD5429 cards and its acceleration but many probably would not even think to build a similar absurd config. Hey, that sounds interesting! I …

@AvalonH That really could be the issue here. Some adapters aren't fully wired, either. A non-DMA capable adapter looks like this, for example.: adapter_v1_1.gif It's not a bad piece, though. Build quality is decent, and so is the soldering. For a 286 or so, this one is just fine, I think. For …

Out of curiosity, did you folks try different versions of himem.sys yet ? I know of at least three different main types of himem.sys. a) the "80s" version, which switched between real/protected-mode (v2.00, link ) b) himem.sys from DOS 5/6, which has two code paths for 286/+386 (~v.2.77-3.10, …

I also share the idea this could be an interface card for some sort of scanning device. It reminds me of the card which came with my old handheld scanner. It was made by Mustek, I think. On eBay, you will find a similar, albeit older model (#231520241783): a Mustek CG-6000. Other popular handheld …

I think RGBi is actually a digital signal, not analog, so it wouldn't work with SCART connections. I could however, be talking out of my arse. No, what you said was just fine. For CGA, magazines published simple schematics of SCART converters to solve that issue (for EGA, sync/resolution was maybe …
