Tankraider DOS Palmtop Forums

Hi Alex, hopefully I'll have time to search through my collection tonight. I should still have several of these and since kingeorg didn't take the one i offered no problem - I can sell you one. 1. The current design is just a very thin PCB that plugs directly into the existing connectors. I'll not s...

I still have some of these, imma see if i can take some pictures if i got the time.

SkydivinGirl aka Heather has shed some light on the whole CF problem. So if you ever had any problems booting from a CF you use as a HDD replacement then there might be the problem of "fixed drive vs. removable drive" by many BIOS. I always wondered why my Toshiba Libretto or the IBM PC-11...

Well before i got a family i sometimes spent some time doing case mods and such. Not really hardware development, but here's some tinkering i was pretty proud of:

Well for most Palmtops it's great to have an SRAM card and a (networking and USB enabled) laptop that can read and write them. I do love the HP series (minus the 95LX) because they include Flash drivers and file system, so most Flash card directly work out-of-the-box. Also most CF+PCMCIA-Adaptor com...

The original Tidalwave power supply is 9 Volt. The batteries last significantly longer if you lower the CPU speed and turn off the serial/parallel ports (which you can't use right now anyways). If you wanna haggle then drop me a PM. After all I'd love to see these port replicators in the hands of pe...

The first link you posted clearly says "Flash" AND SRAM on like the 3rd photo. Never had something like that, so no idea if it works or not. Maybe it'd be mounted as 2 drives. But no clue if the Tidalwave can handle that. But from the looks I'm not sure if this is TYPE I, but maybe the pla...

Nah that's actually a Flash card - which simply won't work (at least i never managed to get them to work). The only PCMCIA cards i ever got to work in a tidalwave are SRAM cards. The biggest SRAM card i have is 4 MB and it's not even compatible with all palmtops, so realistically you'd get something...

On the ZEOS and generally all tidalwave clones I haven't been able to get Flash working at all. There are several problems: - PCMCIA 1.0 Type I slots. That means 3.3 mm cards only while most flash cards are Type II (5 mm). - No flash drivers/File system Maybe with some combination of drivers/Filesys...

Ha, you could run Windows XP on that! Still nice machine. I always liked the old Voodoo cards. Back in the days these were pretty much what I'd dream about at night. The Soundblaster AWE 64 was also kinda the last of its kind - back then you'd get a real sound card and not rely on a chip on your mot...
