    Moving files around.

    Fwiw, here is what I do. I have a tweener PC running W98 that is able to run laplink via Parallel. The tweener has a network share that allows Laplink to access files from my main storage. The tweener also has old floppy drives if needed.

    Toshiba T1000SE damaged component

    A tip, Isolate the supply from the board by desoldering the set of jumpers. See if you can get any life before the controller shuts it down. Also, After I replaced the caps, I had to track down fried semiconductors on the board. I had a dead rs232 buffer, a dead switch mode controller, one or...

    Toshiba T1000SE damaged component

    Boy that board looks almost exactly the same as my t1000xe main board. My repair of t1000xe was about the hardest debug ever. I have a thread on it. Thread 'Toshiba T1000XE repair thread' https://forum.vcfed.org/index.php?threads/toshiba-t1000xe-repair-thread.1243446/ I think if you look at...

    Zenith Z-171 Z-170 ZFL-171-42 : XT-CF card

    Happy to share what I have. The trickiest part is getting a CF card socket. I should post close up photos of the part that fits. I'll have to go back and see if I can replicate the XUB correctly.

    PCI parallel port card / Windows 98

    seems like looking for these obscure cards may not be required; the Moschip MCS9805 (and probably the 9865) support software based redirect.

    PCI parallel port card / Windows 98

    Seems that my earlier post was not posted... Update: I was able to get an old Startech PCI1PECP card with the Moschip MSC9805 chipset. This installed easily with the startech driver in my Win98 box, and the port came up working on LPT2 no problem! This addresses my need; adding an LPT port to a...
