Afaik both the original IBM PC and the PC XT are incompatible with newer keyboards. You have to get an XT keyboard or one that has a switch allowing it to be switched between XT and AT mode. The floppy error may indicate various problems. If you can verify your cable is working and plugged in …

What's up everyone. A good friend of mine gifted me a Laster Turbo XT desktop system. http://minuszerodegrees.net/manuals/VTech/VTech%20-%20Laser%20Turbo%20XT%20-%20Brochure.pdf Finally got in my mce2vga so I could fire this thing up and see what's what. Well, a knock off of the mce2vga from Ebay …

I know this thread is old, but curios if anyone ever found a work around for this. A setting in dos box or something? Even though I have a legit copy, putting in the code from the book evertime the game crashes is annoying. For some reason my NeverLock isn't working on my dosbox version of the game. …

You can use ChkDsk to see if you have boot virus. Here is some info "Boot-sector viruses are spread to computer systems by booting, or attempting to boot, from an infected floppy disk. Even if the disk does not contain the MS-DOS system files needed to successfully boot, an attempt to boot from an …

Well, one of my favorite games of all time is FPS Baseball 94. When I first started building my retro win98/dos machine this was the game I was thinking about the most and for some reason it's the one I can't get working just right. In the game the Pitcher/Batter interface is all in 2d. But as the …

Nice. Any fun plans with the software now that you have the manual? I don't know. I think the thrill of the hunt was part of it LOL.

OK, so I found an ISO called 3d_gcs_assistant.iso on archive.org. It appearst to be an install package for GCS 1.1. There is a docs folder on the CD containg a .doc and a .txt files. They seem to be the documentation. There is also a program that you can run to print the manual, I am assuming it …

Digging further into the archive.org rabbit hole it seems the manul did come printed. " Inside you will find a 100 page user manual that is both a game building guide and a reference guide." So I guess I'll need to find a copy of th software to buy somewhere to get the manual as I doubt anyone has …

Man, I really didn't think it would be this hard to track down a physical copy of this or the manual 🤣. I even sent Mr. Stokes a message on LinkedIn, it was the the only contact I could find for him.

I owned this back in the day, I honestly have no idea what happened to my copy of it. I recently downloaded it again and there is no manual included with any of the download. Does anyone have a digital copy of the GCS manual? I do also have GCS3 for windows with the included HTML manual, but I …

Try using a DOS audio CD player (like from https://dosprograms.info.tt/sound.htm ) to play the CD instead. If that works, then it's probably some kind of mixer problem exclusive to Shadow Warrior. OK, testing with the DOS cd player it does not work from the pass through as well. Just from the …
