So I bought cheap model 30 286. Machine has no hard disk, and of course the disk drive does not work. Is there a way to run setup program from xt-ide? I'm going to recap the disk drive and see if that fixes it, but it will take some time for parts to arrive. Meanwhile I could hook up gotek to …

Which kind of PentiumMMX you have installed? This computer does not support dual voltage (even if i think before you cook a PentiumMMX at 3,3 v you can gone...). Second: 99% the bios allow only 8GB limit size.

I think a "reasoned" answer doesn't exist. If you look at the correct period (my Pentium60 is from 1993) it is strictly DOS+win3.11 and also by a fair margin on win95. Win95 would probably also work well as you said, but having already another computer ranging from P75 to P200 (with the possibility …

Thanks for all the answers, I can't explain myself well both because it is difficult with few characters and because English is not my main language. Having more or less one computer for each CPU class 286 386 486 P60 Pentium 75 Pentium2/3 Pentium4, I thought of giving a "default" operating system …

the focus of discussion of this post is not on whether it is possible to install win95/win98 or xp on a Pentium60 (which I will certainly try to do out of curiosity) but whether in your opinion it is a machine that expresses its potential at 90% in the field of pure dos No, as pure DOS runs fine on …

I know that I can easily install Windows95 on it, but my question was that considering the performance they were CPUs that mainly targeted MS-DOS 6.22 and therefore would you recommend installing a maximum of 16MB of RAM?

I prefer to having something simpler, like a proper combo key+mouse receiver (ps/2 double or usb + ps/2 or unique USB for key+mouse) that work out of the box. I’m sure that the old Logitech radio receiver with two ps/2 obviously work, but having a single small USB for both key+mouse is preferred …

I need to use a wireless keyboard and mouse on a computer. The computer is a Single Board Computer installed inside an Amiga 2000. I therefore have limits on expansions.

I've been looking for an IBM 365 (dual Pentium Pro) for years without success, it's nice to have in the collection to install NT4. As far as the Mac is concerned, I also fully vote for a Powermac that can boot natively with both OS9 and OSX. I would also add that even if the Powermac G5 and the …
