Compaq portable

[hitachi]

HI guys. I had another thread about this, but I didn't think the title was appropriate anymore since I got it!

It's a 101709. It has 2 5.25 floppy drives and several cards in the slots. I have yet to determine exactly what they are yet though.

My reason for opening this thread. Where do I get the DOS disks to get this thing going? It turns on and asks for a disk. I don't have any. I've heard of using a 'tweener' system for writing 5.25 disks, should I do that for this? Also, Can someone point me in the direction of a guide for getting a system like that up and running?

 

[DOS lives on!!]

You can get a boot disk for it here. Although that site doesn't have the Compaq DOS, just generic versions. I can find a Compaq DOS boot disk if you want.

A tweener system is a "file transfer" system with both a 5.25 drive and a 3.5 floppy drive. You can download disk images off the internet (or get files off a floppy disk), and write the data to either floppy drive. A Windows 98 Pentium I system will do for this purpose.
