If there is anyone in San Francisco with an EGA system who wouldn't mind me loading up procomm plus and taking some pictures of their screen, it would be infinitely helpful.

Just found a Tandy 1000 on ebay for $1000. Insane. The thing is, is this just dealers making up prices or are people paying this? Completed auctions seem to show this stuff sitting around for a long time.

Not really possible for my needs. I need an EGA look. VGA monitors were much smoother. EGA screens had a kind of toothy texture to them.

I' doing an art project and need to see an EGA monitor in action. I thought I'd pick up some old hardware for under $100. But systems alone are nearly $500. What in the world is going on? Apples of the same vintage sell for much less. Anyone know what's up?

BTW, I also wanted to mention how hilarious it is that one your arguments is "don't you think a million people have said the same thing before you". Just shows how out of touch you are. A million people are saying it because its an obvious flaw. After that no other argument makes any difference. …

Yes, moving the config file every version is pretty much an attempt to drive off all but the most hard core users. It's amazing how many programmers complain about bad software when a command in the drop down menus isn't where it should be and this piece of crap moves its entire settings structure …

Hey, you're witty! How's that working out for you?

Yes, but why? The question is why should even the most hard core user have to search for a config file and edit it by hand? Why is a settings panel so offensive? You know, DOS software had them. Most games required an install program before launch. Are you saying DOSBox needs to be more primitive …

I was reading through the wishlists and was recalling debates about this years ago. I personally like navigating DOS as part of the experience. So I would lean on the side of not including a GUI. Third parties seem to be doing a fine job of it. But, honestly, the config file is a mess to navigate …

I did a search. Google and archival. I would never ask the holy princes of knowledge a question without doing a search first. I know enough to not want to go through the pain of posting on a forum unless I have to.

See an explanation did such wonders in helping a fellow human being out. Score one for autists everywhere!

Wow. Ok. Any reason why it won't work? Or am I too stupid too understand?

Has anyone else tried installing this? I found the original disks for both 1.01 and 1.04. I've mounted them as A:. Everything seems oK until its time to copy the file 5.Suddenly the installer kicks me back a few steps and goes into an infinite loop. Is there anything I need to do to make this work? …

I only have NTSF, thats why i thought a CF boot would be best (off a 160mb card) so that I would restore straight to the CF (and yes the bios supports. In fact, I cant stop the bios from wanting to boot off any memory card in my slots when inserted). I've been googling but I've only found a way to …

It is a floppy controlled drive. I can't install linux, unfortunately. Too time consuming (locating a copy, partitioning, etc). Anyone know if I could do this from a regular command line with the dos software or possibly a dos boot disk? If I need to do a dos or windows 95 boot disk, is it possible …

I have an old colorado/HP t1000 drive that only works in dos or windows 3.1. will dosbox and the colorado sofware recognize the tape if i plug it in? I have some stuff from 10-15 years ago I'd like to get back. Thanks!
