I tested my MS-DOS HDD on my Windows 7 32bit machine and when I booted the machine up it went right into MS-DOS. lol

Part of the problem is that older drives might not implement LBA addressing, which the USB to IDE adapters are expecting. I have plenty of older...

Cheers, I just placed an order for another 20 right angle headers with digi key, hopefully that will cover the interest. :cool:

Odd that Windows 10 wouldn't mount a FAT16 hard drive, but works fine with FAT12 formatted floppies (using a drive connected to a real controller,...

One of my intentions of purchasing the OSSC was to test non-console output, particularly the Apple IIgs as its SHR modes have been known to slay all...

I can once I get an EPROM reader, which is on my todo list. Every time I get a new vintage machine I get a different model of EPROM. I'm open for...

The USB to IDE converters that I have seen - admittedly not that many - have been complete crap. I'm surprised it even worked with a drive that old....

For the future ... I always use a Linux machine to image a disk before examining it more closely. Using 'dd' to get a raw sector dump to a file...

Well, I debate that, and here's my reasoning. The human body is a constant current, and yes, while you need a high voltage to get something through...

I'm interested in several ISA adapters and at least one of the parallel / floppy adapters.

The only issue I had with transferring files off a 486-era hard disk using Windows 10 was that Windows 10 CANNOT read FAT-16 partitions by default. ...

Looking into CardWorks, it looks at least a little bit tricky to get one's hands on. I did find a copy of 5.5, packaged by IBM for some model of...

The video controller has 2KB of ROM embedded in the chip.

I have a single DZ11-A, the EIA model (8 channels). I'm looking for either/both of the distribution panel or the cabling. I can bodge something...

Space reasons, it's an Intel 8237 plus memory controller in a single chip.

82365SL is the most common PCMCIA only controller, does TELLME give the same result if you run it after the "diag25" command? In DOS mode, can you...

The DMA controller on the RAM card is a standard 8237 DMA controller chip. Not sure why the HX/EX would need a custom DMA controller. Tom

That homebrew computer sure looks nice. Is there any possible way you can dump the ROM chips on everything in the computer that contains them?

Indeed, and the design is pretty simple to adapt for an EX or HX.

(replying to a 4 year old thread... yeah, I know) "01-0x-00-font(2kb).rom" has a bug with the 128-255 charsets. it was dumped (it seems) from...

Its likely the Windows 95 Cardbus drivers do some register twiddling to the controller while loading. The USB support in Windows 98 likely conflicts...

I don't see how. The Inboard is made specifically for a real PC. ISA PC and Apple II cards aren't interchangeable like that. Speaking of the...

There might be a couple of choices. I don't know from first hand experience myself. EK-DZ110-UG-002_DZ11_Users_Guide_Feb79.pdf For the M7819...

Can you put up a photo of the panel? I may have something useful, but not exactly sure of what you need. Jack

Hi SomaCowJ We need to know where you live :- Country - State etc We may have somebody around the corner. Ray
