That did the trick ! Thank you !

I'm tryin gto get Windows 2.04 to run correctly on my Compaq Portable. It currently boots MS-DOS 6.22. On Windows Startup (1.0x or 2.04) I get garbage characters with beeps after seeing the Microsoft Logo. Windows 2.04 will load after this, but I am unable to load PAINT.EXE or WRITE.EXE. No...

@1ST1 Would you be able to provide me a .bin file of the ROM that is broken in my system, eventhough I could be in the wrong language ?

Hey everyone! What's up? So, here's the deal: I'll be exhibiting at VCFMW soon, but I need a favor. Wondering if any of you local folks can lend me a hand. I'm on the hunt for an early laptop/luggable running either DOS or CP/M for the event. My master plan is to get some early versions of games...
