Frankly hand soldering the PLCC chip directly to the board is easier IMO, if we were at a point where a truly bug free binary was available I wouldn't have bothered with the sockets

You should focus on getting the floppy to boot without any hard drive or CDROM installed at first. Verify all floppy cables are connected the right direction AND that the A: drive is on the twisted part of the cable. Make sure the bus divider is set to 1/6 as previously mentioned, if the video is …

If you want it bad enough, you could change one of the entries in the FDPT in the BIOS ROM to match the CF card you want to use, and re-flash a BIOS chip. I am assuming this would involve hex editing the BIOS files directly? I'd presumably need to be able to identify where in the file those values …

It is doable. My CT2230 also has CSP socket and I made it fit. Had to file down the outside of the PLCC-44 socket just a fuzz for clearance Curious what programmer you used. My TL866 does not list 80c52 but does 87c52. Wondering if P87C52EBAA SIGNETICS would work ok. I used a TL866 as well. 80C52 …

The basic MS Net client can talk to anything the full one can. I'm able to use it to map shares on 95/98/NT/XP, even win 10 It's also not as heavy as you say, only using about 58k of conventional for me This is the MS Client 3.0 mind, not LANMAN
