    DEPCA Ethernet card DOS 3.3 driver

    Thanks Dave ! NB. I have had a reply on DecLegacy from Dave McGuire with a link to the drivers. But I could really do with a second card to link more of my museum PC’s.

    DEPCA Ethernet card DOS 3.3 driver

    I have an IBM AT PC which has a DEPCA Ethernet card. The original hard disk has failed and so I have reloaded a new system disk with DOS 3.3 and Windows 2.11 I would like to use the Ethernet card to enable me to connect to a network again. I assume I will need a DOS driver to do this. Does...

    IBM PC/AT Memory Allocation Question

    I have loaded Windows (286) v 2.11. It runs fine and with the simple test I have done so far and is surprisingly fast. It’s probably quicker than 3.1 on my PS2 🤭

    IBM PC/AT Memory Allocation Question

    Thanks. I will see if I can get that. I will also try and get a memory card before I install 3.1.

    Catch 22 I assume that I will need windows already installed to use this HIMEM.SYS

    IBM PC/AT Memory Allocation Question

    I am trying to use a DEC Ethernet card in this 286. Do you know what version of DOS will support this card. I may end up having to install and dual boot something like SCO Unix to use this to load software quickly onto the hard drive.

    IBM PC/AT Memory Allocation Question

    I have version 3.03 of DOS loaded. This has no HIMEM.SYS but it does have RAMDRIVE.SYS is this an equivalent?

    IBM PC/AT Memory Allocation Question

    What Version of Windows would be suitable to install on this AT? I already have Windows 1.01 loaded onto a 5150 and a 5160. I was hoping to install a Version of Windows that would typically be installed on an AT back in the day.

    IBM PC/AT Memory Allocation Question

    I am trying to load Windows 3.1 onto my IBM PC/AT. I get error when I load the Windows 3.1 Setup Disk. ERROR: no available extended memory was found . XMS driver not installed. I assume Windows 3.1 needs more than 640K of memory to load. Is that correct? When I run check-it on the AT I get a...

    Windows 1

    I guess Bill Gates was trying to catch up with Steve Jobs at the time. The early Windows 1 documentation was very good especially compared to the later puny efforts.

    Windows 1

    Proof of concept ? I was surprised how easy it was for the current generation pick up using Windows on the PC’s in my collection. At the time I found it hard to use the mouse and graphics interface as I had only used dumb terminal interfaces. Here are some photos of Windows 1 and early PC’s...
