I will be thankful for the options. Personally I find folks choices and experiences interesting. The bandaged machine I am typing on right now is a Pentium 2 constructed for me in 2008 or 2009. Still there is enough USB support in the bios for me to use a full sized USB keyboard in DOS for the

Re: [GTALUG] sigh, hardware resources?

Old 'puters, are a little ornery. You get what you get, and then scrounge for parts to upgrade. With luck it all works out in the end, or you die trying. Serial and parallel ports are a major constraint, then adding in USB will get interesting. Most of my old desktops came with almost no memory.

Re: [GTALUG] sigh, hardware resources?

In fact, the P3 or greater aspect is far more important than the ISO slot, if that makes sense. Although not installing freedos, it can manage more current hardware, so can the DOS I run to some extent. www.freedos.org Kare On Fri, 13 Oct 2023, Karen Lewellen via talk wrote: Hi, I

Distilling your toughest requirements: - You need DOS - perhaps you would get no value from any additional OS - you would like an ISA slot. That means the the computer has to be more than at least a decade old. Perhaps two decades (I don't remember all transitions). I'm pretty sure we can come

Good morning sir. Don of the possible rescue! Let me be forthright. I have not bought a computer off the shelf since my very first one. Instead my machines have been built from scratch, or provided with alterations made to them. What that means is that my dictionary may not match yours

Hi everyone, will ask the question simply, as it is not one I have needed to ask for a good decade. Need a resource for older computer hardware, freecycle was terrific for this sort of thing, as was the talent who would build mine. Unfortunately a visit by someone from renew computer
