It has been a while since that post ... Thanks a lot for updating the build files.

For me cards based on RTL8019 chip are the best ones for a XT: - There are a ton of them for a dime each - The configuration program works on 8088s - The drivers also work fine on 8088s. The only problem it's a bug on the packet driver that makes it error out when you try to use IRQ2 on a XT...

I'm using several cards based on Realtek RTL8019AS chip on several 8088 clones without any problem. Even the config program works just fine on these old XTs. There is a problem with the packet driver that does not work if using IRQ2 but it can be easily patched. I've posted previously in this...

Toshiba had specific OEM versions. The latest I've seen is version 5.0a. You can download it here: Toshiba MS-DOS 5.0a

Is this what are you looking for? https://winworldpc.com/product/kaypro-16-system-disks/1

Borland C++ 2.0 exists but I've never seen a Turbo C++ with that version number (Borland C++ is the professional, expensive product vs Turbo C++ cheaper and intended for hobbyist)

I cannot help you with this ... but I'm curious Where did you get the FreeGEOS binaries?

You did much better than my program 😀 and, probably, faster too :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: It took 6 min. 56 secs. on the 286 @ 12Mhz and the last estimated value was 3.138400

Here is my homage: * Program to compute PI using Monte Carlo method PROGRAM monte_pi INTEGER niter, i, j, cont, sem DOUBLE PRECISION x, y, pi(100), z, RAND * Initialize random numbers sem = 35791246 CALL SRAND(sem) DO 1,j = 1, 100 niter = niter...

Not so extrange ... there are several accelerators or XT replacement boards (Pepper XT, Breakthrough 286) that used a 286 processor as a fast 8086

It was even more mythical Nobody doubted the existence of Multitasking MS-DOS ... A true unicorn

Wow! This is even better than Multitasking MS-DOS 4

Glad to know you've solved the problem.

Are you sure that Device Type is configured as "16-bit ISA IDE in 8-bit mode" in XUD? Are you sure that IDE interface work on both cards? Maybe your CF card do not support 8-bit mode I've got good results with these Cisco CF cards...

Yes, it works with a CF card (8-bit mode) OR a (micro)SD card with a proper SD2IDE adapter (most of those adapters use a FC1307A chip which is actually a SD2CF chip able to do 8-bit mode) See these pages...
