So i found a old laser turbo xt like 13 years ago that someone was giving away free with the monitor too and joystick and bunch of games on 5.25 floppy's like 2 cases full of them..
Worked great but it relies on a boot floppy disk asks to put the floppy in when it says too and it boots to the command prompt it has no hdd. And at one time i had the boot floppy just die on me which took a long time to get one for it which i found a box set of dos 3.3 on ebay which the boot disk from that worked. Cost me around 40$ at the time...
The thing is no matter what i do i cant make a copy of that boot disk the pc wont read the copy at all.. Even tried puting a 3.5 floppy drive in it and make a copy too but yep wont read it after copying..
So the pc doesn't get used much because im afraid one day the boot floppy will get damage again..
The other question is there a easy way and cheap way to add a hard drive to this? That would make life with it much easier 🤣
I asked a youtuber about it BBISHOPPCM's World 7months ago not sure if he comes on here or is known on here but hes pretty cool, But he told me i need a special board to get it to work and is expensive and really not worth it.
Figure i mention it to you guys cause you guys know your stuff:)
