My bad. The DE domain is hosted by me and used to be a workaround for when the hosting space here was limited. I will see if I can dig up the FTP info for the UCL page somewhere and edit the link. |

If you are tryng to sell your XT (as a whole or for parts) I would recommend you open a new thread (like you did for the dcocumentation). That will increase the chanc ... |

It's great to see that commandline-driven non-Linux OSes ("DOS-like") are still actively developed. Whenever I am setting up dedicated (virtual) machines that do not need a GUI I usually thi ... |

Good job! My first ever computer (well actually my parent's computer) was powered by a 486-DX4 with 100 MHz. I wonder if that was the fastest ever 486? As far as I recall it was an AMD 486 as Intel di ... |

Thank you for the quick reply!
I checked the links. The eBay one says "parallel", but the pictures and the fact that it is an internal drive make it seem like an erroneous description. It ... |

Thank you for the reply. These drives had their heyday in the mid-90s, so I would imagine that finding one with a somewhat modern connection (USB or even IDE) might be an issue. However suppose I find ... |

I had a Toshiba T1850 at one point in time. Some 386 clocking at 25Mhz if I remember correctly. I believe there was also a T1850C already (C for "color") so monochrome was probably already d ... |

Our family pc used to be an AMD Am486-DX4 100 for a long time (1994 - 2002 or so). It started out with WfWG 3.11 and was upgraded all the way to Windows ME. Its RAM was upgraded from 8 to 32 megs but ... |
