I'd love to get my CF-41 working but cannot switch on without a battery. I'm sorry to hear that you have trouble with your CF-41. Which battery are you talking about? The CF-41 has two batteries. One is located next to the HDD, the other one is under a plastic cover that houses the speakers. (This …
Tips to restore an old CD Rom

Hi I have an old 50pin SCSI CD Rom. It's recognised perfectly by the drivers. However when it initiates it just keeps the led on and can't be read. Any tips on what I could start to test or work on? Thanks Louis

Interesting little problem... I wouldnt be at all surprised if by the end of this you do find it is indeed a dead CD ROM drive, but going through the motions to find that out might be "cheap" but by the end you will have gained nothing so is expensive because you will have nothing to show for it. …

Hi, picked up an old Dell Latitude D410 today. It has DDR slot A hidden under the keyboard and DDR slot B easily accessed underneath with a cover. I have the manual but can't quite work out if I need to add memory in pairs. It takes DDR2. Any advice from anyone with experience of this laptop would …

Installing Windows 2000 Errors

Hi I have a Dell D400 laptop which originally came with Windows XP, however Dell offer Windows 2000 drivers for this so I figured I would go for Windows 2000. I have two 40gb Hard Drivers, one has Dos 6.22 on and one is NTFS 40gb formatted. I get the same error attached when using either when trying …

It's easier to use a batchfile executed within the autoexec.bat (please consider reading the readme.txt in the SBEMU package ) otherwise use my: - config.sys - autoexec.bat please check your paths if they are identical. (C:/MSDOS or C:/DOS or something else) if your emulated SB is not on IRQ7 (I7) …

Hi This sounds really interesting. I have a Dell D400 with MS Dos 6.22 Installed. I am hoping this will allow me to use the onboard sound which naturally wasn't supported by Dell for MS Dos 6.22. I am getting the attached error, is it just as simple as me finding this zip file and extracting? Ta …

Hi I have a Dell D400 running DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.1. To my surprise somethings work fine, such as a USB Floppy Disk Drive, and the touch pad. I'd love to know if there are compatible Sound Drivers? I've ordered an external CD Rom off eBay, which hasn't come yet, but when it does I'll need to …

A thing that I discovered with 3.5"diskettes that are starting to go bad; is that sometimes they can be made to work and be fully read , depending on how you insert them. Depth of insertion may play a role in better head-to-track alignment... But also, your finger should NOT hinder the seating of …

Bought a Dell D400 today, installed Dos 6.22 and have been running nformat (via USB floppy) and quite often after 2 or 3 formats the bad sectors have gone. The disks literally only had 1 or 2. Does this mean they are fine again now? Ta

Just a quick update if anyone searches and finds this in years to come. The ribbon did fit and was even the right length with the folds in the right place to connect. However the LED and the eject button don't line up with the case. Also the Texas Travelmate had a bracket that attached to the Floppy …
