http://www.cn-dos.net/msdos71/doslfns.htm MS-DOS Player also seems to show initial support for LFNs.. http://takeda-toshiya.my.coocan.jp/msdos/ Personally, I'm sceptical when it comes to LFNs. DOSBox emulates a clean 386/486 era PC with DOS 5. Once LFNs get mainstream support, a big chaos might …

[winlogon icon] "It is now safe to turn off your computer." - NT3 and NT4 Hah, reminds me of a parody from the Win95 days.. There was a little joke program which displayed that red message, slightly changed. :) Instead of saying "Sie können den Computer jetzt ausschalten " (German; You can now turn …

What about video-playback? On a 286 ? Sure. In Windows 3.1 with QuickTime 2.x or Video for Video for Windows 1.0. Or FLI / FLC animations with AAPlay for Windows. However, that requires some RAM (2MB, better 4MB). On plain DOS, there used to be AAPLAY and the picture viewer "PV" . The latter can …

This is why Apple created the black-and-white Macintosh and deliberately made it incompatible with the Apple II, which was a much superior multimedia machine. I don't think anyone deliberately made anything incompatible in those days. Compatibility just wasn't a thing. The VIC20, C64 and C16 …

Re: 8042 programming?

Hi, I believe that's a common issue. The intel i8042 / i8048 aka MCS 48 (along with i8051/52) series are one of the earliest microcontroller chips. For example, the i8052 also had a variant called 8052AH-BASIC , which was a stand-alone computer-in-a-chip running BASIC. It could be controlled by a …

The page states that it is made by ATI, for the Commodore PC 10/20 line of x86 machines. And that it has nothing to do with the Amiga AGA chipset. [..] Oh yes sure, someone can clearly see the PCB with all the chips onto it - that was not exactly my point though. Rather, that Commodore had a fairly …

Was it the AGA chipset that were produced elsewere, because Commodore were not able? HP and VLSI fabbed some AGA chips for Commodore. Ironcically, Commodore also made an "AGA" (Advanced Graphic Adapter) card for its own PC line. It was a CGA/Plantronic and Hercules multimode card. Very interesting …

for sure norton commander was on every pc these days... other? I think so. There was this rumour/stereotype that people in USSR had never seen a plain DOS prompt, because NC was "pre-installed" everywhere.. ;) Seriously, though, NC was very, very popular. My father bought a real copy from the very …

Sorry, just had to be cheeky. :P I'm always amazed at how companies that should be unmitigated success stores can mismanage themselves into oblivion like that in a few short years. I grew up during the C= heyday (the family got a then-brand new C64 when I was, like, 1) and they were everywhere ; …
