I’ve got a ftp server running on windows server 2003 and using mTCP on a IBM model 30(8086) I can access the files to copy over but is there a way I could map the drive in dos to make copying files/directory’s easier?

I wanted to play around a bit with Windows CE but the dev tools are not easy to find. Where could i find the dev tools for the older versions of Windows CE outside of betaarchive or could someone download them from betaarchive for me?

I have lost my certificate of aufthenticity for WIndows NT4 Workstation and wanted to know if there is a way to replicate it. It looks Identical to a WIndows 95 certificate of aufthenticity so I put that in title to clarify which variant I mean as there seem to be 2 variants of it, one that looks like the Windows 98 one and one that looks like the Windows 95 one.

I have s PC104 386SX running MSDOS 6.22. Every time I boot the computer, the num lock is on. Since the keyboard doesn't have a physical numerical pad, when the num lock is on, letters U, I, O, P, etc act as the numerical pad. It drives me crazy because I always forget and I type and press enter faster than I realize num lock is on. It gets me every single time. Can I fix this??

These are the only parts working. So I wanna maybe build something like a commodore 64, using usb-c pd for power. Only vga and keyboard input. So no mouse. But at least it has a pretty loud speaker

so i have a tandy 1000 rlx which i sorta messed up by accidentally deleting a ton of deskmate files, which has made it pretty annoying to use, and im wondering if theres a way for me to set it so the computer boots into dos by default? i think itd be a lot nicer then having to exit deskmate to enter dos, thanks :3

I work for the government, and until recently, one of our main applications used five COBOL scripts developed in the 1970s on a VAX mainframe. We actually had a refresh in the 1980s that put a SQL wrapper around it and moved the data to SQL Server. I will say that this was the best commented code I ever read.

My coworker used to work for a luxury car maker, and they used several FORTRAN scripts developed who-knows-when for some of the engine metrics. The primary application we still use in my field was also written in FORTRAN, including an update with a full windowing interface. In FORTRAN.

Interested to hear other stories of how long legacy software (and the hardware it runs on) has persisted in your fields.

Hi all,

I recently acquired an AMS Sound Pro laptop from 1994 which has a 486, and got a power supply for it, but shows absolutely no signs of life. I have disassembled this laptop, there is no corrosion or water damage, all parts are there (RAM, power supply, etc), the only damage on the entire computer at all is the right hinge being busted due to age, but that is something i will obviously get to later as i am more focused on getting it to turn on in the first place. The computer does ABSOLUTELY nothing when plugged in and switched on, no lights turn on, no sound, screen doesn't light up, you can't even hear the whine from the power draw. I couldn't find much about this laptop online, except for the fact that it seems it was one of many laptops that was manufactured under different brands using the same design, for example, the IPC Porta-PC p5-486 seems to use the same design as this laptop. The laptop uses an "Arima" branded power supply and mobo. So I'm just wondering where do I even begin on troubleshooting this? There are absolutely no signs of life from this thing at all, despite looking externally and internally mint. And yes, the charger does work fine I have tested it. Part number of the motherboard is 41-030099-00. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

I waited 4 hours and it wasn't even 15 percent done and I pressed exit assuming it would stop the process and give me another option but nope

Hey everyone!

I just got this vintage Compaq for my retro room and it came without a HDD. After finding a compatible 40 GB HDD and installing Windows 98, I used the onboard Drive Converter Utility so that I could use more than 2 GB that FAT16 is limited to. But now that the drive is converted, it still shows the capacity as 2 GB. I guess it was stupid to assume I would now be able to use the whole drive without more work. How would you approach re-partitioning the disk so that I'm not limited to this tiny capacity?

I recently acquired a Zida 4DP 2.0 motherboard for use in an upcoming project based around the Intel 486. I went with this board since it has both PCI and ISA, as well as I got a good deal on it. I'm planning on using either a 486DX4-100 or 486DX2-66 (haven't decided yet, although might go with the DX2 since it is 5V and doesn't seem to require active cooling like the DX4). I'm planning on running DOS 7.1 on this since that has support for FAT32. Not going with Windows 95/98 since I'll be using this with a monochrome monitor.

According to the manual of the motherboard it officially supports 64MB of EDO RAM, but I was wondering what the odds of getting it to work with 128MB or 256MB were since the chipset supports up to 256MB. I found 64MB sticks of 72 pin EDO which seems like it should work in this board for up to 128MB.

Also, I was hoping to find some advice on where to get an AT power supply since I can't seem to find a good source of AT supplies. Primarily ATX, although I might be using the wrong keywords. Where do y'all get your AT power supplies for these builds?
