    Best OS for Portable 5120?

    i think you answered it with 6 being the best. If you have at least 4MB of ram on the portable. system 7 should be .. usable. How much memory do you have? (i think technically system 7 should be happy with 2.5)

    MS-DOS v1.25, v2.0, v4.0 Source Code Released (MIT)

    i'm posting replies everytime i find or think of something new. I think MS-DOS 4.0 is one of those weird versions where its confusing about WHICH one you are talking about. wikipedia has some info on this version. (4.0) I mostly remember MS-DOS 5 and 6. .. i think i found an old computer...

    MS-DOS v1.25, v2.0, v4.0 Source Code Released (MIT)

    Its mentioned in the readme that they released the sourcecode originally to the computer history museum back in 2014. But now its on github so its easier for the rest of us to look at it. which is supper cool. Also Macpaint and quick draw was giving to the CHM...

    New Toy: Dell Latitude D630 (Windows 7 Pro)

    this is taking me back. about a decade ago i used to be helpdesk support for a small office. and this is exactly the laptop and model i would support. The docks could be a bit funky. i don't think they like being hotswaped.

    I think the link, https://diskjockey.onegeekarmy.eu/djjr/, is malformed. the link data seems to be the paragraph of test.

    Anyone else a huge fan of the Alien franchise?

    speaking of things thats surprising that people havn't seen it. there is a couple youtube channels first time watching star trek. .... like TOS and TNG. i find that wild. But i guess if you are younger you may not be that exposed to star trek. ... (or alien(s) i guess)

    Migrating from SCSI2SD v5.2 to BlueSCSI v2

    there is a real way. but it is a bit of a hack. and would require some work to get it working. context: The problem with SCSI2SD is that it doesn't really do disk images. its just raw data right onto the SD card. which you configure start and end bytes for your scsi devices via a java app. (so...

    iMac G3 (rev1) Install Disc image on a partition

    i'm not sure. I think it would be easier for you to just install OS 9 on the SSD via the G4. You may need to manually copy over the rom file. but i don't think so. So run the OS 9 installer from the G4, and point it at the drive you are going to move to the iMac. Try that, it will prolly work...

    What would you pay for this barely used 128k or 512k and ImageWriter?

    BEST assume it's a 512k (either enhanced or not) a 128k and 512k is basically the same. .. but 128k's just go for more.... either case. i don't think i could bring myself to paying over $100. Good deals do popup sometimes. so my advice is to just wait.. (it doesn't hurt to try to negotiate a...
