DOS doesn't allow anything fast and easy thats why marketing left. Perhaps if young people were introduced to dos and dos programming it would bring interesting things as DOS never reached its limits like many modern scientific technological theires dos computing doesn't have a limit. Make …

the liquid crystals do move thus they need to be encouraged back by reverse gravity ..... incentive to preserve system life for a year or so upside down in storage?

contemplating moving the clock forward to see what happens in future ms dos 6.22 perhaps someone could patch it by the timebomb

Maybe it be an Acer. I don't think a 586 is a good idea if you got a 486 lying around say dx33 this would be stable enough to read its oem signon (the post screen string). I like the button cell on the dallas RTC I don't like the system board ram looks small what was cool was ability to replace …

y2k was mainly transition from 1999 2000 or 99 20 Pity DOS 6.22 has a timebomb i bet some noble programmer will patch it by then we can only hope But if she runs 6.22 she can run later with memmaker 😀 Lets go for freedos Linux a slackware linux but on exfat than fat32 (dreaming)

From article on CNET MS-DOS. MS-DOS 5x and later can handle four-digit years, and gets its date information from the PC's RTC/BIOS. MS-DOS will reject two-digit years from 00 79. The operational range goes to the year 2035. Earlier MS-DOS versions are not compliant. IBM PC-DOS. The IBM 7.0 version …

theres kits on Ebay

nice to see chips without intel all over it (on the circuit boards)

Probably find it on wikipedia if I was bored😀 Well, I've altered some information on German Wikipedia SCSI page. today i was dumbfounded to see VLB and PCI on the same AT Motherboard I didn't think such creature existed, having built in IDE and floppy, i think i'd ignore the VLB in favor of PCI …

Although I don't know the answer I can suggest BIOS modding forums to learn like WIMS BIOS forum there are several. People have said if you change BIOS software brands it can be trouble that often same motherboard models have updated revisions which provide the very reason for BIOS brand changes to …

time to explore the disk surface with scandisk for bad sectors/clusters :) if there is, theres hard disk regeneration stuff around. But if there isn't there should be a google indexed dos based virus scanner to find boot sector virus if any. In pc bios i turn off virus protection as they are false …

i forgot what it was called but there was a cdrom driver that did the contact tune through the floppy servo like this "bzzzt bzzzt bzzt buuzzt buuuzt ..... bzzzt bzzzt" any one have it? i miss it!

I can guide a little bit I came up with this when I did some playing with hardware. Dual Pentium III tuned for performance of games and playing videos. Not expensive but not cheap best to go for newest parts possible. Pentium dual cpu system best with Pentium III say 850mhz to 1 ghz coppermine they …

oh boy freedos I tried freedos a few days ago I think a version from 2003 got a 13h error booting cdrom I use a boot image made from xp system floppy disk now will do to the 128gb DOS FAT32 barrier without millennium emergency boot message Maybe that be the limit for SSD trim partitions dos tool to …

I haven't used my VP6 mobo since 2003 (still in the closet) but here is the VP6 YT BIOS modded with v2.34. Award BIOS Editor may work. Last version in my VP6 folder is 1.0 but I don't know if I ever used it with my VP6 BIOS or not. Also cbrom 2.07 I'll use that to make an unofficial update. I am …

Even then, if you have a drive being mostly static the garbage collection doesn't need to be ran as often as a boot drive in a modern use system. If you dual boot would a modern OS perform the garbage collection on all partitions it can see even if the delete occurred on the other OS? Assuming it …
