Re: Tritus SPF again
Look for vDOS. It is based on DOSBOX and I think a better 16bit emulator, especially for something like this. https://www.vdos.info/ Alan Field Systems Engineer Principal Blue Cross Blue Shield of MN 651.662.3546 -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Richard Pinion Sent: Thursday, February 25, 2016 4:12 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Tritus SPF again I received my USB 3.5 inch diskette drive today.

Re: Tritus SPF again
Nice! I ordered a 3.5 drive too and went through my pile of old disks looking for anything I should try to copy once it arrives. Thanks for the DOSBOX hint, maybe I can install my old Lemmings game disk and pick up where I left off in 1993. And I have a 1991 CTC SPF/2 3.5" disk which should be interesting. Don't know if that's related to TSPF. Richard Pinion wrote: I received my USB 3.5 inch diskette drive today. I copied the contents of the diskette to my SSD, and tried to execute TSPF.EXE.
