    XTIDE Universal BIOS

    I have been using Apacer CF cards for a while, but apparently somehow been able to avoid pairing them with XTIDE. Yesterday I did, and that cost me the better part of a day troubleshooting :) The cards do work, but the first few reads take 20++ seconds to complete. This happens at several...

    Probably time to introduce myself..

    Hola all, '77 vintage and sysadmin since the late 80s. DOS PCs, Windows 2.x, Banyan Vines and finally Novell Netware before seeing the Unix-y light; now I'm a 24/7 father of 4 and FreeBSD command line warrior. Big consumer (demos, music), not so much producer, but my retro regression of late...

I'm adding an IRC server to the (already quite busy) http://floppy.museum machine, and got a prototype with ngIRCd going last night. I had to limit it to ~8 connections as DESQView doesn't have more than ~350KB...

    DOS File Level access to Secondary (370H) FDC - Driver

    I was just playing with a DC4030VL-2 right now, and it doesn't actually use the secondary FDC port - at least DOSFDRV won't load if I add /P:370. Leaving that option out, and it works - my Gotek drive on the second cable works (and faster than with SDRIVE.SYS too, I might add).
