What was the qemu command you used? It sounds like you paying a double
penalty somewhere for how you’re get the disk image into qemu. Loopback
devices pay some penalty. 10x seems like some option is missing to improve
performance.

I tested a generic/brandless/labelless/white label 5 pack of CF PCMCIA

They looked like the ones here -
Best to share your CONFIG.SYS/FDCONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT/FDAUTO.BAT file

If you’re ok with a Linux cross compiler, you can add “cobol” here (
https://github.com/andrewwutw/build-djgpp/blob/master/script/common-settings#L6)
and then build on a Linux box. Have you tried that?
In Fedora I did,
# sudo dnf install g++ gcc unzip bison flex make texinfo patch zlib-devel
You inspired me to build one myself. I’m awaiting a few parts now.

FAT is always a finicky filesystem, especially if you're utilizing a
caching or BIOS emulation for USB HDDs. Are you using a caching program
like lbacache, cdrcache, smartdrv, etc?

That looks like Wordperfect for DOS.

The quality of the VGA to HDMI adapter isn't great but it works. In
particular, on an HB8088 with an NEC v20 CPU & Chips 451 VGA there's large
banding and the signal seems to ripple on dark black. On a Dell Optiplex
9020 with a Core i7-4790 the banding and ripple are reduced (probably a

I used this adapter in the past (
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F1K3QQX/). Tons of similar adapters
on eBay, Amazon, AliExpress. Pretty sure it worked with an old Dell
monitor over HDMI. I can try retesting it this weekend.

One of the hallmarks of modern Linux CLI environments differentiating the
various distro vendors is a linux tool called neofetch. A tool
which probes the local environment will let you know some of the key
features or metrics of the local environment

What I find most interesting is the source to his C compiler, Micro-C.
Lots of other tools other bits that are new to me.
The
Docs (
https://docs.getutm.app/settings-qemu/devices/network/network/#hardware)
say that the emulated network device is a “virtio-net-pci” device. Docs
also mention that the OS will require a driver for it. virtio is a common
interface for modern Linux, Windows, and I think Mac OS VMs. For
IIRC, there are some extra (Windows & OS/2) drivers and docs you can remove
from the package to make it fit on a floppy. Try removing those folders
first.

-k/--insecure(SSL) This option explicitly allows curl to perform "insecure"
SSL connections and transfers. All SSL connections are attempted to be made
secure by using the CA certificate bundle installed by default. This makes
all connections considered "insecure"
You might also try standing up an http to https proxy. There are some
proxies setup specifically for retro computers like

speculate.
At least with curl on Linux, you can bypass cert checks with “-k”. If you
still believe it’s certs and you have a known good certificate and private
key, you pass them as “--cert” and “--key”, respectively. wget has
Very cool!

It should be at `/dev/ttyUSB0` and you should refer to realport `ttyUSB0`
or something like that (`serial1=directserial realport:ttyUSB0`). This

AFAICT, the FDNET package contains packet drivers for (16-bit?) NE2000 and
PCnet ethernet cards. The crynwr package has several dozen other packet
drivers. If we knew the exact Thinkpad model, we could advise you better.

Correct and it would help to know which machine you are choosing.

Depends on the vintage of Thinkpad, but I wouldn't just assume a Thinkpad
has a DOS compatible Ethernet card. I would verify.
