Re: Windows 3.1 Must Have Software -

Posted on 2024-04-21, 06:02

in Windows
- Microsoft Works 4.0 if you want to make some documents. - Operation: Inner Space, arguably the best game that runs on Windows 3.1. - Total Commander, as a replacement of File Explorer. - Some libraries like WinG, Video for Windows... the usual stuff.

Re: NVME partioning advice

Is under provisioning still a thing? I mean, when SSDs first came, it was recommended to partition less (about 5% or 10% less) of total capacity, to delay wear. I don't think it makes much sense unless your disks are almost filled up, and that's not a desirable thing even on regular mechanical …

Why does everybody keep forgetting about IndieGala? They're not forgotten. There are some posts talking about them. Usually they give away trashy games, the kind of games that you wouldn't pay for on Steam. As of March 5th, 2024 WarnerBrothers Discovery has 'retired' Small Radios Big Televisions …

Re: Clonezilla - Motivation and quick tutorial

Posted on 2024-03-07, 05:52

The worst parts about Clonezilla are: - The inability to restore in smaller disks (even if it isn't 100% full). That's a pain in the ass when you're trying to restore a 120Gb SSD image onto another 120Gb SSD disk... and you discover that the new disk is a few blocks smaller than the old one. - It's …

Re: Nostalgia for old Graphics Programs?

Posted on 2024-02-24, 08:45

Well, these are my picks: Print Master (the original, CGA, almost no printers to choose from): A novelty program that let you print one sheet banners, probably the first graphics program that I used on a PC. For a nostalgic overdose, I recommend using it with a dot matrix printer. Two things to note …

Re: how to setup italian keyboard on ms-dos 3.30

in PC Emulation
Some old MS-DOS (I remember it from an Amstrad PC-1512 floppies, but that was MS-DOS 3.20) does NOT have the keyb comand. They have a keyb xx command for every language supported. So it would be keybuk (UK keyboard), keybsp (spanish), keybit (italian)... Do a dir keyb*.* to find which ones are …

Re: When Microsoft has a go at Tetris...

Posted on 2024-01-19, 06:20

If I wish to play Tetris, I'd play one of those versions: - Atari Tetris (Arcade). - Gameboy Tetris. - Varmint's Eittris. Varmint's Eittris is a blast to play with friends. Up to 4 people local multiplayer (I've played three on same keyboard), and a vast array of "weapons" to use against your …

Re: DOSBox-X branch

I've got a PCL and PS capable printer, that should be able to print if configured as a generic PCL or PS one (i.e.: Laserjet 2100). I thought that I could configure it using something like "file=\\x.x.x.x\print", but sadly that printer has no SMB support. Is there any means to dump directly data to …

Re: Nec Ultralite 286F

Posted on 2023-12-07, 05:48

Sorry to hijack the thread... I've acquired another Ultralite 286F without PSU. It has no external signs of damage, so the next step would be powering it up. I've got one of those universal adapters (with only barrel type connectors), but it supports the alleged volts and amps. Does anyone knows the …

Re: Are there any equivalent to those printing tools in Linux?

Thanks for all the answers. As keenerb said, netcat was the right answer. I was able to send a test file using nc 9100 < test.pdf . I've used port 9100 because I think port 515 requires some kind of "talk" between the host and the printer before printing (opposed to 9100 that seem to print …

Are there any equivalent to those printing tools in Linux?

Posted on 2023-11-19, 10:44

in Milliways
When I'm working, at times I've got to diagnose connectivity/drivers issues with printers. I've got two windows tools that make my work easier, but sometimes they won't work on some PCs (permissions issues). OTOH, I always have a Linux pendrive (S15Pup) so I could boot a PC and run tools from it. …
