    Is there a case to be made for the 386?

    I picked up a Baby Gemini from Micronics 386DX+387 board about 10 years age. It came with 8-1Mx9 30pin simms installed. It's been my workhorse in imaging my software collection software for years. I've installed 1-360K DSDD floppy, 1-1.2M HD floppy, 1-720K floppy, 1-1.4M floppy and a CDROM...

    CHATGBT

    I had some issues until it understood that I wanted translate a newer gw-basic program to ZBASIC v1.0. I would list a routine that was giving me trouble getting it to run in ZBASIC that was written with GWBASIC and it would point out the errors and suggest a better way to code the routine. I...

    CHATGBT

    I've been asking the CHATGBT AI thingy with questions about my old Zenith Z-110 computer and it was well informed about it. I did need to let it know I was talking about a early 1980 computer as it 1st said it had no info. After that it spit out way more info than I needed but did give me what...

    Fun with Windows for Workgroups

    I gave up on http: with my 386. I can still FTP to places and get files. Normally I DL what I want using a current newish compute and browser, which I can then transfer it to the 386 over my local NET. I'm running WFW 3.11 on my 386.

    Installing Tyan S1830 motherboard into IBM XT case

    I am planning to be where that computer is next weekend. I will check the BIOS and check if any other files might be saved on that system. I do remember updating that BIOS when I went to the 850 P3 from a 450 P2.

    Installing Tyan S1830 motherboard into IBM XT case

    I thought this thread was dead, I know you need to get the latest BIOS number not known at this time and maybe a patch file. I in the process of moving 900 miles and that is where the Tyan 1830 sits. I will verify the BIOS in a couple of weeks and review my notes from years ago to see what I...

    Breathing new life into 1981 IBM 5150

    I might have missed it but do you have all 4 ram banks filled? I remember working on mine many years ago and there seem to me a glitch in the bios that require all the RAM banks to be filled.

    Would a IBM PC AT (5170) motherboard drop into a IBM PC XT case?

    I put a Tyan Tsunami S1830 into a IBM XT case, it's a sleeper. Any standard size AT class board will fit in the XT case. The 5170 AT is not a standard size board but a server size board for it's time IMHO. framer

    The move to the new Xenforo forums is slated to happen Dec. 24 - Dec. 26

    I just got back from a two week cruise and was surprised to see the new software. My site used VB for years until the switch to VB5 which about almost made me want to give up. I found XenFore early and never looked back. You picked right. The learning curve is doable but you need to take it...
