I tried DOSLFN. With it loaded, RHIDE crashes at start. So I generated the makefile in RHIDE without DOSLFN loaded, and then again tried to compile it in CLI with "make -f sbemu.mak" after loading doslfn. It doesn't work, it gets confused right at the start. See screenshot. The same thing happens …

Emulating Tandy 3 Voice would be pretty easy! FreddyV has mentioned it as a possibility to me before. 🙂 Also emulating the Tandy DAC should be possible. Yep - getting Tandy 3 Voice running on the PicoGUS was no problem. https://youtu.be/_a-0G00XdgA After reading about patching games and port …

For some reason the 55SX was way more difficult to get a boot drive working (outside of my busted ESDI drives) with the SCSI MCA cards I had. I went through like 3 different ones that always worked with my Model 77 but not in my 55. I had given up and shelved it but recently got the McIDE and for $ …

Re: USB ISA cards?
Posted on 2022-07-17, 11:44
My main interest is ZIP 750MB (USB only) or ZIP 250MB (USB version) to get working on 486 that has ISA only slots. Current workaround would be to get SCSI ISA card and connect ZIP 250MB to it and hope that ZIP750 vs ZIP250 compatibility works well. The ATAPI version works great on my 386 even …

Re: Hiding a drive in DOS 7.1?
Posted on 2022-01-12, 14:54
For DOS, let the D: drive get associated to the disk on boot, and then use the assign command to take it back over and mirror something like you cd drive. So in your autoexec: ASSIGN D:=F: Where D is your disk you want to take over and F is where your CD is mapped to. When you are done or before you …

I use this in my DOS Shareware pack. See the reference in the fdconfig.sys and autoexec for how to do it. https://github.com/flynnsbit/DOS_Shareware_MyMenu The openinit.raw file has to be in a very specific format. I think I ended up using the dos version of paint shop to create it. You can download …

Hi I like to use multiple partitions on my harddrives because it's easier to reinstall etc. Thing is however that windows automatically seems to make hard drive partitions the first letters of the alphabet. For compatibility reasons I want the CDROM drive to always be D: but I don't know how to do …

I wonder if ATAPI commands could be used to swap drives, meaning a software could be written for each OS. I know there was a rudimentary version of this created for the IDESimulator. Another idea for those machines that have USB is a serial to USB adapter and then echo commands to the serial …
