I don't think anything breaks, it just doesn't work. There are some converters to go from an AT keyboard to an XT machine: https://www.vcfed.org/forum/forum/vcwiki/vcwiki-aa/26861-at2xt-keyboard-converter?26426-AT2XT-keyboard-converter= Thanks! Alot of converters needs to be invested in before a …

And the PAL chip dose not seem to have any lock bits or security, so should be easy to copy the code from it 😀

Right, a day later than planned, but I tried out my Unisys-branded Mouse systems M4 mice. They work perfectly, with CTMOUSE.EXE /M doing the trick. If that doesn't work for you, either you have problems/conflicts around your serial port, or the mouse is dead. I think the Serial port is fine, i have …

CTmouse just gives me cant find mouse.. :( With cutemouse you have to enable mousesystems support with an extra switch. As these kind of mice do not have a way of giving feedback like the microsoft-compatible ones, there is no way of detecting their presence. This is one of the reasons why back …

Despite tons of MCA equipment in my basement, I dont own this board, so I am not sure if I have any drivers. eisapc Thanks, that place looks like it have a lot of questions, then i …
