Hi folks, Too many layers in the process for me to try the install. That and the thinkpad, which is a thinkpad 600x is not in condition for the work it seems. I do wonder though if the freedos networking options would have functioned with the on-board Ethernet structure? Thanks, Karen

I have an IBM Thinkpad T43 and also either an R40 or R60, (I'd have to go upstairs and check) so if your laptop is either one of those, let me know and I'll try an install. On Fri, 21 Jul 2023 at 03:18, tom ehlert via Freedos-user < freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net> wrote: > > I have it myself

not sure why this came privately. Here is the situation. I experience sight loss, and am taking this thinkpad to my office where an associate is going to serve as my reader. Neither i, or anyone in the office space has access to a cd unit. Likewise I will not know in advance what thinkpad, but

Hi, Will see of I have a note about the thinkpad model from the person who put it together for me before. I experience sight loss, so providing those details will take some digging. the situation is that I have no way to burn a cd for install, even though the thinkpad has one. My goal was to

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. http://crynwr.com/drivers/00index.html WRT saving items to floppy, are

My goal is supporting the built in Ethernet infrastructure on the thinkpad. My understanding, perhaps incorrect, is that freedos has networking infrastructure in the system itself? On Tue, 18 Jul 2023, Louis Santillan wrote: Depends on the vintage of Thinkpad, but I wouldn't just assume

Depends on the vintage of Thinkpad, but I wouldn't just assume a Thinkpad has a DOS compatible Ethernet card. I would verify. On Tue, Jul 18, 2023 at 10:08 AM Karen Lewellen via Freedos-user < freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net> wrote: > Hi folks, > Due to some layered power issues in my new

Hi folks, Due to some layered power issues in my new apartment, I am considering installing Freedos onto a laptop as a backup for my desktop computer. My main reason for considering this is the likelihood, given its an IBM Thinkpad, that Freedos networking should work for the onboard Ethernet
