REM XFS stuff - leave untouched until further notice.

REM Change this to whatever your packet driver is: Next, you'll have to edit the included batchfile "XFS.BAT" and change the packet OFF

On your vintage PC make a directory on your drive C:, called "XFS" (or something else, somewhere else, but I'll use these default paths for this howto.), and copy the contents of the floppy disks into it.

On your modern PC, download XFS and a matching packet driver for your NIC and extract both to a floppy drive, again, hopefuly for the last time.

There's a guy coding opensource versions of vintage NIC packet drivers, where I found the only working one for my 3COM 3c509b: Crynwr Software These came with the cards, but with some searching, at least I found mine online, too. You can find it on the internet or at the download-section of this website.Īll you need for it to work is a ethernet capable NIC and a matching "packet driver". This fine piece of software was freeware and the last MS-DOS version is from 1995. Something making work with your new favourite PC a lot easier is XFS: Not the filesystem, but a MS-DOS NFS client! So you can mount network-shares from your NAS (or some other NFS-capable server, you have on your existing LAN.) Voila: Who said vintage PCs are slow? A complete OS installed in less than 10 minutes! MS-DOS v6.22 If your harddisk is bigger than 400MB, you might encounter problems with the installer not recognizing the HDD, see below " HDD >400MB" for further information on that. Installation is pretty straight forward: Insert disk 1 to your vintage pc, make it boot from A: at the BIOS, boot it and follow the instructions of the installer partitioning the harddisk or not and formating at least drive C. Bigger problem was finding floppydisks that still worked and didn't break the second, I tried to use them. Since I had no FloppyDrive on my modern PC, I bought a USB connectable, external one, some years ago, which still does it job: DeLOCK Floppy 3.5". I used Disoriented DiskWrite for Windows, OSX- and Linux users might want to use dd. You'll need 3 3.5" HD FloppyDisk, a FloppyDiskDrive connected to your modern PC and a tool for writing the images to disk. This was the last version of standalone MS-DOS. )įirst of all, we need to get DOS up and running and set it up to have network access and a decent amount of free ram.
So I'll only provide you with links and let the dirty work of hosting this to the others. This means that there's noone sueing you for downloading them, but it doesn't mean, it's legal to spread them on the interwebs. Many of the tools, I'll talk about, are abandonware, now. Here, I'ld like to collect all the infos and knowledge, that came back to my mind the second, I started the PC: Techniques, Tools, Links - everything that may come in handy, if you're as crazy as I am and want to setup a vintage DOS PC, again. And so my odyssey to DOS-Land began two weeks ago.

Since I just relaunched my old BBS and rejoined FidoNet, I had one more place to ask for relief: FLEA.GER at FidoNet - an old online marketplace, I used to use back in the 90s.Īfter some unrealistic offers and some people telling me they have exactly, what I'm asking for, but won't sell it, one guy took his heart and made me an offer I could'nt refuse:Ī complete 486 DX2/66 with 32MB RAM, a Gravis Ultrasound PnP PRO with 8MB RAM and all the stuff, he could find in his cellar for €150,.
Problem was: A GUS costs more today, than it did back then! €200,- and more, coming from somewhere outside of germany was just too much for me. It took some nights browsing ebay for me to decide that there's only one solution to this: I'll have to buy a vintage PC and at least a Gravis Ultrasound (GUS) soundcard and do analogue rips of the tracks. When converting all the old Radical Rhythms tracker files for the archive, I recognized that there are some file-formats, you just can't play right anymore with todays hardware. You might have recognized from my BBS Relaunch and the Radical Rhythms Archive, that I'm on some kind of a retro trip, back to my teenage years, at the moment.
