    Epson PX8 Ram Disk stuck at start

    Sometimes you have to explicitly format the RAM Disk before it will work. Could be the RAM Disk is bad. Or perhaps a driver chip or RAM module. Also, it could be a corroded or oxidized contact on the cable connector. I would suggest 1) Deoxit on the connector. Make sure the cable is good...

    NEC MultiSpeed PC-16-01 (XT) GoTEK

    New to GoTEK. Can I put one in a NEC MultiSpeed PC-16-01 XT class laptop? It has two 720k floppies. Do I understand I need a specific GoTEK that emulates 720k floppies? Any recommendation? I'd love to put a Compact Flash Card in it but I don't think that is possible.

    Can’t get serial port working on Z88

    Epson serial floppy drives emulated with Arduino and SD-card

    I built one of these. Slightly different. But it can swap files and drive images. I think the BACKPACK (BPD+) sold by Hey Birt! also works with the PX8/HX20.

    I want to install a harddrive in my Kaypro 2000+ laptop. Still looking for Kaypro 2000+ DOS boot disk. Any guesses on what type and size harddrive to look for? I assume it gets installed in the B drive bay after I remove the second floppy.
