Hey, y'all. I'm new here. Hi.
I just got a hold of a fairly beat-up Compaq Plus Luggable. It was complaining of a disk error but after oiling the stepper motor that seems to have been resolved. Now when I go to boot it up, it shows these lines, which I'm not sure is normal. To be quite honest, I'm just now getting into DOS outside of DosBox so I don't know if this is like an autoexec.bat or something. It shows these lines:
C>path c:\dos
C>set wp=/nk/nc
C>path c:\;c:\wp
C>prompt $p$g
C:\>
C:\>_
where the last underscore is blinking, which I would think means it's at an interactive terminal. However, I'm unable to type on it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
