I recently bought an Apple IIe via ebay. I'd hesitated buying online due to the prospect of shipping damage. In this case, the seller was only two hours away, so I offered to pick up instead of having it shipped. Frustratingly they responded that they don't do pick ups and that they had shipped out …

Got this today - it works perfectly with my Portta VGA-HDMI adapter, even for DOS and BIOS modes! https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09QSQNV6W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Price seems quite reasonable for that kind of functionality. Mildly tempted to get one for messing …

Hi! Is smartdrive loaded? If it is, it maybe needs double-buffering. Please also try not loading the CD driver high. Maybe there's some problem. Had this issue with vide-cdd.sys, on an older PC. Hi thanks for your reply :) I've tried disabling smartdrive already. I've just tried the not loading …

Hi all, I have an old IBM PC330 486 in which the CD drive works just fine in DOS and OS/2 Warp 4, but if I start up Windows for workgroups 3.11 and try and access the CD (DIR in DOS window or File Manager etc.) then the system locks hard and I need to power cycle the PC. I've tried the common …

Browsing like it's 1999. Having to use something to strip out encryption though (in this case Frogfind, but that strips out images too)

Been testing this haul off eBay I got for £15. Both Wii's, their PSUs and sensor bars work. Just got the PS2 RGB SCART cable delivered and found the PS2 works too!

Aha I sussed it! I had to add an entry in to the LMHOSTS file for the QNAP NAS then map a drive by name - Windows 3.11 can't cope with IP addresses!

I wonder if it's now the Windows 3.11 PC that's the problem as I have dug out an old IDE NAS and once I enabled SMB1 on my Win11 PC I can connect to it, but I still can't from the Win3.11 PC. Yeah I'd rather not edit the config files on the QNAP so I may just ignore that and use FTP after all 😀

That original style external Zip 250 were awful. I was part of the beta test for them and we all told iomega they were awful but they released it anyway! I recently picked up a small slim USB Zip 250 though and that works well... :) Are the internal ones better? I've never owned an internal Zip …

Argh just discovered there's OS/2 Warp 3 and OS/2 Warp Connect 3... the latter one having network support. Guess which one I installed! I only have the original floppies for the non connect version and I can't bear going through all 30 odd floppy disks again 😭, I'm going to burn an ISO and stick a …
