Current 5.x kernel compiled for 486 target is nice, but isn't support for at least some of the early ISA stuff already gone from kernel at this point ? Thank you for this, I will give it a shot on my P3 when I get the chance . Yes, I think kernal 2.x (2.4?) was the latest Linux kernal with full ISA …

I'm glad someone bought up NetBEUI. It's a lot smaller than the MS TCPIP stack Microsoft Network Client 3.0 and most older OS's supported it out of the box. It's non routable and a different network protocol so no problems with it being hacked via the internet. I also use the mTCP suite of programs …

There's another software.. However, it requires PC/GEOS aka NewDeal Office aka GeoWorks aka breadbox ensemble. And this GUI likely doesn't run so well on an XT, especially without a fast CPU, EMS and a modern HDD. Last, but not least, it seems that the author charges a hefty fee for it. http:// …

I think the same, Win XP does not allow to Format as FAT32 on a medium that has 32GB capacity and beyond. However, it can use such medium perfectly fine if it was pre-formatted that way (just think of external USB HDDs). Does anyone know if the two above issues could be linked and if so how to mark …
