Hey Hornsk001, thanks for the advice. I did manage to open it to some extent, enough to reach the bios-batteries that i wanted to replace. While i did put a "Saft" battery in there, it still complains that it can't remember the settings so i will re-wire the battery quite soon (with fresh cabling). …

ediflorianUS, i will. Just wanted to mention that i did try software such as Quarterdeck QEMM and also QRam on the IBM but it didn't like it one bit (but perhaps it would be worth trying on the Toshiba??). I ended up using the "MM" utility that i found when searching for the RamPat card (which …

it seem to find 64k High Memory area available... (bios seems to be useless regarding memory ... 640k+I can extend to 1-64mb+384kb) I guess you mean 4mb (not 64mb??). As i recall, in order to use XMS as EMS you 'd have to use a software driver to emulate the latter. Unless of course you have a …

Answering myself (hopefully for the benefit of others). The game stores the config in c:\wc3 (2 files) and if the game is installed anywhere else, it chrashes as per the initial post. Solution is to move everything into c:\wc3 and start it from there.

Hi all, a VERY long time ago, i bought the WC3 and did run it flawlessly on my (then) pc without to much issues. Fast forward a number of years and i can't find my CD anymore so i bought the game on GOG, thinking i could play it on my Libretto 110CT. Of course, as GOG repackages the game with DosBox …

ConventionalMemories, excuse my ignorance here... While quite awesome what you have designed here...(of course :) ), but when you say special Toshiba slot, do you mean the smaller expansion slot available next to the ISA slot (on the T5200 for example - i.e the 8 bit Toshiba proprietary "A" form …

I guess it complains simply because it will not recognize anything other than the (three?) Conner models that it would actually support when you use the original bios (i assume you don't use a modded bios?). I use AnyDrive on a different 286 (Its a Victor/Sirius 286P) successfully but i don't think …

Let's wait another 5 months :) Nah just joking, glad you got it working properly and good to know for anyone else interested oops, maybe i jinxed it now. Should have waited for another 6 months... 😁 If you have a network card in your system you can use mTCPs NTS syncing tool. Works great. Nice tip. …

Sorry for bumping this very old thread. I have (i believe) the same system as this Mitac 4022, but in my case it is called "SLT486DLB". Googling the (few) images that are available, i'm almost certain that they are the same. My machine has two PCMCIA slots (on in the front and one on the right-hand …

Very nicely done konrad_pentium 😀 I assume that your original FD did not work? What did you replace it with? I did replace my own floppy some time ago (also had to replace the Connor HD that was completely dead. Settled for a DOM-module). What bios did you settle with in the end (Phoenix or Award)? …

Hey, thanks EcoPeeko for that upload. It enabled me to actually scare some life into my lpt CF reader under msdos 6.22 now (on a few machines at least.

What do you need to run it under (95? 98? xp?). There are probably tons of capable soundcards and also a few good ones. I have used (for a long time in the past) for example Terratec EWS64. Before that Turtle Beach (various cards). Before that of course the Creative AWE-32 and Gravis Ultrasound ( …

Sounds very similar to my own experience with installing Checkit 3.0 where it complained about disk id (i believe it was). In my case i had to rename the volume (after formatting) with the expected name, after which it worked. Was not possible to install from the HD itself. Similar issue with your …
