Yup, Qemu with WHPX still works about as well as a dumbster fire, just putting it out there. XD I'v tried Win3.11 - starts out at 0.01 fps and promptly freezes Win9x - does not boot due to internal error on WHPX's part WinXP - sort of works , but freezes/unfreezes sporadically and eventually freezes …

Yeah might be, I didn't test on cf cards. But it does work fine with a CD-RW. ( does not detect, but the dos driver works fine with it)

Here you go, https://2bits.in/misc/xtide-update.zip Instructions: 1) Get the zip contents onto your classic R pc (for example put it on a DOS boot disk) 2) Run FMUP.exe from DOS 3) "Update FLASH Memory Area from a File" -> " Update User Area" , select XTIDE.USR , "Continue with programming" ( you …

Well then maybe patching the bios could help here? I wasn't sure it is limited to a specific set of drives. And it doesn't say that it did not find the drive in it's table or anything, just that it failed to read the boot sector, according to the error code.

Has anyone ever had any luck in refitting non-ibm floppy drive and/or harddrive in a PS/2 Model 35 (type 8535)? As far as floppy is concerned, I tried to do the mods I found on the web in adding the pullups to 8, 26, 28, 30, 34, rerouting power and grounding pin 4 etc. But the bios complains about …

@kahlil88 sorry took me a while to answer, I kind of forgot about this. I'll pull the pc when I have time and grab the flash update if I can still find the update tool.

I think I managed to get it to create that partition and copy files, but now after it's all done, It seems to be ignored (F10 does nothing). And If I restart from floppy again, It will again tell me there is no partition and would I want to create one ?

Haven't had any luck with this for days, no matter what I try, I keep running into "not enough space on harddrive" problem. Has anyone ever successfully done this ? Any steps one can give ? I tried making fat12 or fat16 paritions at the start of the disk in various sizes from 6MB to 16MB. I also …

If someone was making a printer emulator, what printer should that someone emulate ?

I kinda got curious about DOS era printers. What are some very popular, well supported, DOS era, parallel port printers? Are any of them documented (like the protocol and such) ?

Alright I found a workaround. This motherboard has a free 4KB of user accessible flash at ED000 - EDFFF, so I did a bit of hexeditor surgery to doctor a flash update file with XTIDE tiny bios, that just barely fits. That solves my main annoyance with 500MB disk limit and extremely slow IDE …

I found that file my self, problem is, it is just a patch/update it seems, and does not contain a full bios install. It also refuses to install without a previous micro firmware bios

I recently procured an Intel Classic R (Monsoon) 486 motherboard based PC. The bios on it is some really old version of Phoenix BIOS (1.00 ?) and It is really really janky. While googling around I keep finding an update for an aftermarket bios made by Micro Firmware, too bad the update only installs …

Does anyone have bios update for Wyse V10L ? Or perhaps know where to find a download ?

Ordered one, thank you for your answers 😀

Power is not a problem. Can someone recommend a definitely tested one tho ?

Can one connect an IDE (ATAPI) CD-ROM to one of those USB to IDE adapters? Has anyone tried that ? I kinda want to connect one of my old IDE CD-ROM drives over USB to my main machine, don't ask why... It's for testing some things. I want to buy an USB->IDE adapter, but I don't know if it's worth …
