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...

Feeding a 7.5v tip+ into it made the mouse work ! :)

Yes, it is a 3.5mm jack. Is it tip + or tip - ?

No

I have this 3 buttons serial Genius Mouse. It uses a 25pin connector but it also has a power jack on the connector. CuteMouse detects it but there's no movement. The mouse ball and rollers are clean. I suspect it needs its power adapter but I cannot find information on the Internet about my...

Added the usual files, buffers and stacks settings in config.sys and the game is now working

Thanks all for the suggestions! Some answers: My SQ3 files work under dosbox Will try setting the files= parameter in config.sys with a different value. Settings were indeed PC speaker and CGA Will report back later today.

Hi There ! For some reason, I cannot get SQ3 working on my Compaq portable. I have MS-DOS 6.22 loaded, no TSR. I have 640kb of memory using a SixPack Plus card When launching the game, I get a blinking cursor and that's it. No error, no sound. Unable to Control-Alt-Delete depending on the video...

Hi! I would like to know if someone is bringing a paper tape punch to VCFMW ? I am bringing a reader and looking for some software to run on my Altair there. Thanks :)

Ok. Based on the photos, am I right to think it does not finish the diag routine at this point ?

I was talking about the typewriter ROM. While I wait for you to get your ET111, how far should I get in the boot process of the computer without the typewriter plugged into it? This will help me diagnose the issue.

@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...

From the diagrams, my base board looks like the one on page identified 6-7

Ok, no problem, I can wait :) Thank you !

Ok, first problem on the ET111 : I need a new ROM 0. It is blank for some reason now and the typerwriter does not boot properly. When I remove the ROM, it boots and display error. The ROM is blank when I read it with my programmer. If I look at the manual, it is a 27128. @1ST1 Do you have a .bin...

I can try to get to that point. I worked on the typewriter today. Codes ROM 1 (intermittent) and CTC. I desoldered the CTC chip, beeped the traces and they are good. Put in a socket. I would need schematics at that point as visual inspection does not reveal any physical damage.

@1ST1 Do you think it is possible to try fixing the display problem on the computer part and then move onto fixing the typewriter part after ? Is the system able to boot (or at least have a floppy seek) without the typewriter attached ?

I have to start with one. I'm starting with the computer part.
