Thanks Dave ! NB. I have had a reply on DecLegacy from Dave McGuire with a link to the drivers. But I could really do with a second card to link more of my museum PC’s.

I have an IBM AT PC which has a DEPCA Ethernet card. The original hard disk has failed and so I have reloaded a new system disk with DOS 3.3 and Windows 2.11 I would like to use the Ethernet card to enable me to connect to a network again. I assume I will need a DOS driver to do this. Does...

I have loaded Windows (286) v 2.11. It runs fine and with the simple test I have done so far and is surprisingly fast. It’s probably quicker than 3.1 on my PS2 🤭

Thanks. I will see if I can get that. I will also try and get a memory card before I install 3.1.

Catch 22 I assume that I will need windows already installed to use this HIMEM.SYS

I am trying to use a DEC Ethernet card in this 286. Do you know what version of DOS will support this card. I may end up having to install and dual boot something like SCO Unix to use this to load software quickly onto the hard drive.

I have version 3.03 of DOS loaded. This has no HIMEM.SYS but it does have RAMDRIVE.SYS is this an equivalent?

What Version of Windows would be suitable to install on this AT? I already have Windows 1.01 loaded onto a 5150 and a 5160. I was hoping to install a Version of Windows that would typically be installed on an AT back in the day.

I am trying to load Windows 3.1 onto my IBM PC/AT. I get error when I load the Windows 3.1 Setup Disk. ERROR: no available extended memory was found . XMS driver not installed. I assume Windows 3.1 needs more than 640K of memory to load. Is that correct? When I run check-it on the AT I get a...

I guess Bill Gates was trying to catch up with Steve Jobs at the time. The early Windows 1 documentation was very good especially compared to the later puny efforts.

Proof of concept ? I was surprised how easy it was for the current generation pick up using Windows on the PC’s in my collection. At the time I found it hard to use the mouse and graphics interface as I had only used dumb terminal interfaces. Here are some photos of Windows 1 and early PC’s...

Now the Museum has some keyboard shelves to give easy access for visitors 😎

I can find a good home for your bunch of extras. I have a button missing on an RL02 drive.

The following items need rescuing from the scrap man before Thursday this week ! Many FREE DEC Computer items need to go: 1 Letterwriter 100 1 Letterprinter 100 2 LA120 RA 2 Decwriter III (with inbuilt keyboards) 1 LP25 48 RL02 disks (used) but in boxes Loads of 1/2 inch tape reels Cipher GCR...

Is a C1429C any good?

I need a HP 6000 Model 1350 SE internal disc drive. I can exchange this for one of the external drives below:- HP 6400 1330 S Model C1512A External DDS DAT tape drive or HP CD Model 1330 S

No problem. These cables are probably quite simple to make.

You can see both ends of the ribbon cable in the photos the rest of the ribbon cable is just a loop of lengths 10ft and 6ft respectively.
