You won't physically damage an RLL drive by hooking it to an MFM controller or vice versa.

Although now that you mention what model of drive this is, that raises another issue. The ST250R is a...

By that time, most software required either dual 360k floppy drives, or a hard drive. Managing a Kaypro 2000 with only a single 720k drive was enough of a headache.

Those Laser Compact XT...

Just to clarify some confusion here, the issue is not Chrome or IE not working. (Problematic user-interface-of-the-week usability issues aside) You start Chrome and everything looks and works fine....

I'd try formatting the MFM drive on the RLL controller and pattern testing with spinrite. See if it can actually reliably hold an RLL format. Some can, some can't. It won't hurt it, if that fails...

What model of hard drive is in it? Isn't that just IDE?

It sounds like the hard drive died. I'd take the hard drive out and test in another machine.

BTW, generally you would really want DOS 5...

I'm surprised that syncs at all. The sync timings are not the same as composite video. I vaguely recall doing something similar a long time ago using a mono CRT TV but I think I may have had to...

Windows 1 drivers often get rolled in to one single ".bin" file to speed up load time. So the individual file may not appear in the the windows directory. Check the documentation to see if that is...

Or people who want something that works reliably all the time, doesn't require constant recharging, doesn't require replacing and changing around every couple years, isn't hackable, and is actually...

Well, there are serial to TCP/IP devices.

I've been told that landline service obtained through a telephone company's fiber/DSL bridge should function with Modems and Fax. (although going through...

Hmm. Some earlier 286 BIOSes did not have built in CMOS setup programs, but rather required one to run a setup program from floppy disk.

It does seem weird that it would show you full-screen...

Did IBM even produce or sell mice before the PS/2?

If you really don't care about the data, sure you can just re-format. On a hard card I would go through the regular low-level, FDISK, and FORMAT routine.

The software-only version of stacker...

Worked for TI? Then there might be a chance there is some uncommon stuff mixed in there.

You don't have to test stuff, but something shown working may increase interest.

Where about on the...

I've also seen a few instances where a disk was apparently formatted in a drive that is faulty somehow, but they manage to write the data to the disk OK in some other drive. Then those data tracks...

I have no idea, but there are enough advantages you would think people would be lining up for it. But everyone is so hell bent on buying whatever the TV tells them to buy, they don't even want to...

That looks like some very nice stuff. One would think that sort of stuff would get snatched up if for no other reason than to flip on eBeh. Have as many people still been getting out to estate sales...

My ISP offers dial-up as sort of a backup. I even tested it the other day and it still worked.

It's enough to check my mail, pull up soylentnews, and a couple of other web sites including this...

I don't even know what this is, but I like it. You can't have too many floppy drives!

It seems like eBay is falling apart. Yesterday I kept getting "we looked everywhere" pages when opening item listings, they recently broke the ability to zoom in on a picture in all but the latest...

This does not seem like a hardware failure. "Invalid media type reading drive C" generally suggests that the drive is being read OK, but it is finding something in the boot or partition area that it...

If it is serial than any Microsoft serial mouse driver should work. Version 6 or later is generally recommended.

You might want to try the mouse on a different computer to see if it works. Some...

Very good to know. So, these Seagate SCSI drives do in fact fully implement the SCSI low level format command.

That also means that if someone really needed or wanted a SCSI interface they could...

To satisfy my curiosity about the Perstor card, I tried searching around the net for information about this card. There is not a lot of information out there. But the little that is suggests that...

Does FDISK report a partition filling the drive now?

What happens when you high-level DOS format with "FORMAT /S"?



Spinrite can easily take a day or two to run. That is unfortunately...
