Since Win 98 and above require a 486 or better, Win 95 is as high as you'll get on the Pocket386 anyway. Just for fun, I tried to install Win 98 and got the 486 needed message.

It has an add-on serial connector (about $11.xx USD) that is standard RS-232. It's not as convenient as a built-in port but it works fine.

I just got one, along with the add-on serial port and the 3-slot, 8-bit ISA bus card. This thing is a great little toy! Don't buy it with the hope of making it your daily driver but it's definitely fun to play with DOS and Win 95 again. I just hope there will be a 16-bit ISA add on. The machine...

If it operates like a real PC, DOS reads the RTC only once at boot up and then keeps track of the time and date itself in reserved RAM locations using interrupts. Using the TIME and DATE commands to read the time and date will use the current DOS values from the RAM locations rather than the RTC...

Looking for a Casio MD-120 floppy drive for use with a Z-1. Working preferred but will consider all.

Here's the CI-7 Cassette Interface if anyone is interested. The other end of the cable just has the usual connectors for a cassette recorder.

I'm looking for any Texas Instruments TI-95 accessories such as the PC-324 printer CI-7 cassette interface CM-8 8K or 32K RAM modules PA-201 power adapter, etc. If you have any TI-95 accessories you'd be willing to sell to a US address, please let me know. I'll pay immediately via PayPal

I'm looking for either a physical copy or good quality scan of the manual for the Video Seven VRAM II Graphics Card. I know there are compatible cards out there but I'd really like to have one specifically for this card. If you have one, please let me know! Thanks.

I'm looking for any information on the Magnetic Peripherals BR8B2A 5.25" floppy drive. This was used in IBM PCs for a while so it's probably compatible with the Tandon TM100-2A but I'd like a manual specific to the drive itself. I checked bitsavers but no luck. If you have a manual or scan I...

Looking for an Altair UIO serial card/cassette interface used in the MITS Attache computer. Manual and cables would be a big plus!

Looking for the Altair UIO serial card/cassette interface that was used in the Altair 8800 Attaché system. If you have one you'd be willing to sell or know where I can download a manual for it, please let me know! Thanks! Tom L

I have a Centronics HPC-136-3B printer and it runs the self-test just fine. It has both a parallel and a serial port and right now it seems like the parallel port is the active one but I need to use the serial port. I see a couple banks of DIP switches inside but no legend as to what they do...

I have a MicroDrive Turbo IDE interface in my Apple IIe Platinum. I has an adapter to allow two CD cards to be plugged into it. I have two cards that each work fine when they are the only card plugged in but when I plug both of them in, I get the message, "Volume not formatted" Does anyone else...

Does anyone have any information about the Wang 3300 minicomputer other than what's at wang3300.org? That was the first real computer I ever saw (I programmed in FORTRAN before that but never saw the mainframe I was creating card decks for) and it will always hold a special place in my heart...

I have a QDI P5I430VX 250DM Explorer II SpeedStep motherboard with a 233MHz Pentium MMX processor and 128Mb EDO RAM. On it there's a connector for a Turbo LED but there's no connector for a Turbo switch and no instructions in the manual on how to activate turbo mode. I've looked through the...
