Hello again,
I come to you with my latest IBM 5155 dilemma. Quick recap: got the thing for free, been trying to get it to "do things" like it would have in the old days without altering its original hardware. Managed to finally get it to work properly today and created DOS disks after LOTS of work.
Now, I wanted to have a way to send/receive data without having it disassembled and frankensteined with a bunch of adapters and a modern floppy drive hanging off the side.
I have found out about Fastlynx and got a demo version. I got the ls.exe file on the 5155, connected a Laplink parallel cable (no COM port unfortunately).
When I run ls.exe, however, I get this: "Insufficient memory to run. Need 140960 bytes of dynamic memory. Only 117088 bytes are available."
If I do chkdsk, however, it says: "262144 bytes total memory. 216960 bytes free." During POST it counts 256KB memory.
So what gives? Am I missing something here? How do I get it to run the program??
As always thank you in advance for your precious help.
