Not necessarily. It should be possible to figure out the frequency of the leader and the frequency of the signal shifts and whether or not stop bits are used from the wave form. That would narrow the...

Word 97 includes import routines for WordStar 3.3 - 7, MS Word 3 - 6, WordPerfect 5 and 6; and RFT-DCA which can be exported by Display Write, Multimate, and a number of other word processors.

I...

WordStar is the classic for floppy disk usage able to handle larger files and fonts in a limited fashion. Laplink made a small word processor designed for floppy disk laptops so could be perfect....

Seemed like there were dozens of them based on the advertising in the mid-80s. Any ideas as to limits or support programs that help improve compatibility with it.

I remember that PC Magazine had a comparison of several caches in different configurations which should have proved a good reference for choosing an optimal setup. I can't find an index mentioning...

A number of Windows programs had shared DLLs and those shared DLLs need be in the Windows directory. Some Windows programs like Command Post modified Windows applications and thus needed all the...

Yes. Just have to be careful in specifying the path statement; bad things will happen if a DLL from the wrong version is called.

The floppy drives for the Sam Coupe had the controller integrated into the drive and used an Euroconnector expansion socket for passing signals to the drive. Was a bit of a problem after Citizen...

I am fairly certain that the original IBM PS/2 mice will not work with a PS/2 to serial adapter. I didn't like that mouse from a comfort standpoint either.

The mouse choices I would recommend...

I believe you will need the older syntax of the FORMAT command on DOS 2.11 i.e. FORMAT A: /t:80 /n:9

That is 80 tracks and 9 sectors per track; the double sided is by default. The /F switch didn't...

Actor is procedural Smalltalk. Instead of slapping Smalltalk object concepts on an existing language, Actor swam against the current by adding Pascal syntax to a Smalltalk inspired base.

I would...

That sounds like PC Shell has a special file to keep track of current directory layout instead of refreshing every time. It should have a refresh option somewhere but I can't find it in the manual. I...

PoqetPC Plus is listed as having a V30 at 16 MHz http://www.tankraider.com/DOSPALMTOP/poqetplus.html

You should probably note your location. Makes a significant impact on shipping cost.

Someone should want that. It is the briefly available run-time Deskmate version that would install a limited...

The original Sony Microfloppy had its own variable speed motor so incorporating that in Apple systems cost nothing.

The Disk II margins were amazing. A drive without the expensive logic board...

Basically, you will need to use FDISK to delete the logical drive [D:] in the extended partition, then delete the extended partition itself, then delete the primary partition. If all that worked...

That is a fairly generic board. I would hope that it has the same jumper settings as other C&T 286 boards with 1 MB* or the previous user left the switches in a sensible state.

* I can't read the...

I am fairly certain that Apple Pascal needs 2 drives. You may be able to get by with a single 3.5" disk if you can find the driver that splits a 3.5" disk into two volumes. I am not positive on that....

Have you looked at http://hparchive.com/ ?

Measure seems like a fairly chatty marketing magazine with a lot of pictures of happy HP employees building hardware but lacking detailed technical...

http://www.classiccmp.org/cpmarchives/ftp.php?b=trs80%2FSoftware%2FModel+III has a number of Model III programs released on tape and stored as CAS files inside a ZIP file. You will need one of the...

Mass produced software generally does not go for very much though shipping can be expensive. Make sure to include an accurate evaluation of the shipping cost in your listing. Usually, the best thing...

There are a few recent compression programs that used floating point for no benefit. I am fairly sure that no compression code running on a 386 or earlier used floating point so x87 coprocessors...

I should point out that USB/SCSI adapters were very flakey and came with major restrictions like devices could not be added or removed after bootup. USB/IDE adapters were much better but the ones I...

There were adapters that would convert IDE or SATA drives into a SCSI device. Attach the adapter and the drive will work like any other SCSI drive. Some, mostly early, IDE drives might not be handled...

If the drives are on a SCSI interface, SCSI enclosures are basically just that: a set of drive bays with a power supply and a pair of external SCSI connectors with a cable running between them....
