Hello everyone! I sure am glad to find this list! I am glad to see that there are others besides me who see older machines as something other than boat anchors. >From the description, this list is more than I was looking for. I thought that I was the only one still using an 8088 based system in a useful manner. I can't do a lot with it...but it is extremely reliable.
It has been a long-standing belief of mine that Windows was the solution to a problem that didn't exist - I was running DOS 6.22 with Desqview , using it for a landline BBS and other things too...and the system was stable. Every "improvement" only makes the computer work harder, and frankly, I'm sick of Windoze. I would love to set up a DOS-based PC for the Internet. What sort of software is available for this? I have a 386 system that I want to add a Soundblaster 16 (compatible) card to. Unfortunately, I do not have drivers for it - might anyone have DOS compatible Soundblaster drivers? I am attempting to resurrect my old BBS system, which is backed up on QIC-80 tapes. I have met many people who can't imagine life before the Internet, and I really want to set up a demo system. That is not the problem, but does anyone know about how to link two PCs, to give the effect of a dial-up? I'm sure I would use the serial port and a null-modem cable, but beyond that, I'm not really sure. For the BBS software I'm running Renegade v 5-11exp. Anyway, I'm glad to be here...I have some older software in my possession as well, if someone could use something and can't find it, let me know. I have a bunch of DreamWare door games on floppy, and others still backed up on tape.
