Tankraider DOS Palmtop Forums

Am I the only one who got this weird little computer?

Pretty cool thing featuring a color TFT touchscreen as the touch pad. Actually the touch pad is a complete linux PC.

Sounds exactly like what i would have recommended. I already got a pack of fresh batteries this morning and hopefully i can play a bit with the sharp this weekend.

Hmmm, sounds like it's worth a try. I got this silver epoxy or "conductive silver". In germany it's sold as "Silberleitlack" - i like this one since it's just one component. Example: http://www.ebay.de/itm/KEMO-L100-Silberleitlack-3g-Leitlack-Leitsilber-Silber-Lack-Platinen-Repar...

Well i got the files from here:

On the bottom of the page is the makedbg program and description. Maybe I'll try it myself i have time (and fresh batteries) this weekend.

Hi Cello, thanks for the kind words! Yeah it's that kinda "bootstrapping" problem, to pull yourself out of a swamp just by pulling the bootstraps. About the PCB - I would just get one that is a bit thinner. Then you could put "Silver epoxy" on it to make for the contacts, just pa...

1. I need to rewrite that paragraph i think. The Sharp definitely will NOT boot from Flash or CF since it needs a driver to utilize these. Also if i remember right it will not boot MS-DOS 6.2 due to some BIOS limitations. I think it could handle DOS 5.0 though. I should play with it again before i r...

Yeah the win 95 CDs were infamous for not containing a boot disk (Thus you can't boot from the CD). A bit of a trick is to boot Windows 98 setup, quit setup and then just change discs. Another easy workaround is to just make a bootable USB stick (Or CD) with a tool like "RUFUS" and add the...

Sorry to hear about your problems. I have the old Windows 98 installed (before the "Second Edition") and never had any issues with SRAM cards. I would try Windows 95 since it's pretty fast to install. OSR 2.5 is imho the best and most stable version: https://winworldpc.com/product/windows-...

Hmmm, i checked and my Windows 98 is "pre SE", soo it is an older version. I did not have trueffs installed at all.Thinking about it - I think the later versions of trueffs didn't need the DOS drivers at all... Can you try to completely remove (or "REM") the drivers in config.sys...

Hmmm, maybe WIndows 98 doesn't have the Trueffs driver installed? Yeah the driver was intended for FLASH cards, but it also works like a charm with SRAM cards. On the Windows 98 SE CD it should be under "\drivers\storage\ftl" - just right click on "trueffs.inf" and pick "ins...
