Hello everyone, i'm facing something really strange (for me) with this laptop i found at home. The computer is an old toshiba t1910 with DOS 6.22 installed on it the computer have onboard a segate hdd with 200 mb in size. I have replaced the hard drive with a modern compact flash card and installed dos 6.22 again but, once the machine has rebooted with the new installation of dos the serial port is not recognised anymore msd will not detect the port ! If I put the old hdd inside instead, everything works normally. Another strange thing is that if i try to connect the old hdd to a ide to usb converter to dump the data, the drive will not be detected by the pc (tested on Win10, XP, and 95) i do not know if this is normal the only difference i see in the boot sequence is that when the original hdd is installed on the screen appears: Loading bootloader ... and then the standard dos boot message. If someone knows about it i will be very happy to learn more on those machines and most important to restore this laptop that belong to my family.
Thanks so much to everyone that will help me with that
