Tankraider DOS Palmtop Forums

Thanks a lot! Now I know I am not crazy! Well, I need to get another card then. Seems to be a lottery though... an expensive lottery. Any advice on other brands to go with wrt Sharp? How about Pretec? (Never heard of Okano but will keep it on my mind.)

Yeah, I know about the F8 and nothing worked. Even step by step loading of drivers froze OB (and it changed the black to purple color on the screen) once it went with "dos=high,umb" line. Then i commented all lines in config.sys and the same thing once the windows screen appears. I serious...

I put the 32gb pata ssd and it works. Took some juggling with the screws but they all nicely fit eventually. Reinstalled Win95 from scratch and it flies and is silent. Now, OB restore made two 2GB partitions (c and d) on my 32gb ssd (and put the windows on the first). I manually deleted the 2nd one ...

I am pulling my hear out. OB with Win95 expresses the same behavior as with Win98. Even worse, after I installed the dos drivers, my OB crashed hard and was not able to recover (win95 boot forever with garbage colors). I am now reinstalling win 95 on it again. I am curious if you will be successful,...

The OB arrived late yesterday and I was out. What I did the last night: - connected the external floppy -- all fine - connected the external SCSI CD ROM -- all fine - replaced the 32MB module with 64MB one -- all fine (have 80MB RAM now!) - installed PCMCIA CF drivers -- the 32MB CF card with PCMCIA...

Sadly it did not work. At least not immediatelly. OB sees and can read and write the SRAM card and can see Sharp's files and their content (i tried with a small txt file). It also sees the label. Sharp sees the files written on OB but cannot read them -- it says bad sector. If I ignore the error I g...

I did not try. I couldn't reinstall Win 98 on T42 and I did not dig deeper there because of the Omnibook arrival. If Omnibok doesn't help, I will revisit (invest into a 512MB stick for T42 to reduce the RAM (requires opening the case) and reinstall Win 98 from scratch -- both of those would take mor...

Disabled signatures.

Kudos for this. I absolutely *hate* signatures. On some forums they take 90% of the space.

Here is my modest collection. Not much, but every machine is picked either because of some interesting feature or because it has some personal meaning.

I am expecting to get this cool machine tomorrow. It will be the 166mhz one (the fastest in the 800 family) with 48mb RAM (16+32), 6GB HDD, floppy, power adapter, and other extras (extra batteries, carrying case... not sure yet) In the preparation for its arrival I obtained (or am in the process of ...
