Tactical Bnuy…
Haven’t used it in a while sadly. Getting my PC 10-III to run took a bit of priority… and then life happened and I haven’t really worked on any of my Computers. Gotta get done with some stuff before I can sink more Money into them!
Sadly that particular CD-RW doesn’t seem to work. Never managed to get it running…
Love her ability ingame. Just a quick and easy AOE, what more do I need?
Glad to see something like this having become a thing! I’ll look forward to giving this one to some of my friends who could use that
Yeah I’m getting a different SD card tomorrow. One thats notably not an HC SD card, which someone noted to probably be not compatible with the adapter.
No there wasn’t any documentation that was delivered with it sadly. Though seeing that in the tutorial it showed much of the same text on Boot up, i think its safe to asume the card itself works fine. Someone else in the thread mentioned that it might not work because its an HC SD card, which probably can’t be read by the adapter, so tomorrow im buying a normal SD card to try it tho
I see, in that case I’ll go to the store tomorrow and see if they got a tiny non HC SD card! Thank you!
Just got around to taking some screenshots.
First I press the “Flash from File” button and choose the DOS6.22 Ultimate .img
Then I select the Target, which is the SD Card
Then Lastly I press the Flash button and it does its thing
All ending without error on this screen
This is what the finished thing then looks like
Then I’d usually move onto the Partition Wizard.
Something odd I just noticed is that even after all the flashing and stuff, the card retains its original thumbnail saying “SD HC”, would’ve thought that be gone by now, could that be an issue?
I’ll do once im home in around 7 hours! In the mean time, I can definetly say that what the Video shows is 1 to 1 the same thing I saw while working with both programs and I followed them to the Pixel if that helps
As far as I can see, the only one of these relevant to my XT Based PC-10 III would be the classic version which reads
For classic hardware: FreeDOS 1.3 includes a floppy-only edition! This edition should run on any original IBM PC system, including the PC, XT, and AT. Provides versions for 720kB, 1.2MB, and 1.44MB floppy disks.
Since it says its a floppy version, I’d asume I’d have to burn it onto a floppy and then install it? Or can I burn it onto the SD and then somehow boot it into the installer directly?
I did try to see if leaving the partitioning part out changes anything, and still nothing. Same thing as before. Also tried not changing sizes, same thing sadly.
As for the other 2 points, im afraid that I don’t have the knowhow yet as to how to check those…
I did think of that too after DOS failed, but from what I can find there only seems to be a floppy based installer for it? Since It doesnt have a working 3,5" drive, I can’t install it via that. That or have I overlooked something while looking into it? Is there a way to burn it into an SD Card?
Left reddit ages ago when boost was taken away.
I’ve been japping about this forever now. I honestly think this is Lemmys biggest Hurdle at the current moment
Literally just happened to me, anyone here inow any ways to get the screw out?
Heh I already got a SyncMaster which I’ve been using as either my third monitor or Retro Computer Monitor of choice, though since its a Flatish Screen and a different format I’ve been looking for something more CRT yknow
Im aware that its likely more of an app issue, but Universal GIF and Video Standartification is a must at this point. There is literally nothing more annoying than that and I genuinely see it as Lemmys current biggest hurdle. We can’t be a proper site or competition to other simular sites if something like GIFs and Videos basically never work properly.
Heh well it runs Train Sim pretty flawlessly… though Stronghold 2 does shug around on mid settings, especially the more I build
Thank you for the advice, since I’m still pretty new to Retro Computing I don’t have a lot of equipment (or knowledge). Though after combing trough some old Forums, it seems the issue can be found with a leaky and somewhat krusty batter,. Will get a replacement part delivered for it next week
Got an AUX to USB-C adapter that likes to malfunction and call upon Google Assistent when plugging it first in. Deactivated it, but the damn Popup still appears telling me that Google assistent is deactivated. Just a plain nuisance
