I've been doing a lot of research on old laptops lately, mostly the NEC Versa which I"m starting to collect.

I don't know for sure but the NEC Ultralite Versa series (PC-4xx) was offering Mono ...

I too drop on my every once in awhile and post a little. Posted this from my old 486 that I still have in WFWG 3.11 no less.

Support (ie. calling India) for me is a non-issue. I am my own product support as I am multi-talented when it comes to electronics, mechanics, and musical things. I also prepare the first day I have ...

Network Adapter, if you are going vintage an IBM Token Ring would be vintage correct, if you are wanting something modern-day functional, then I'd get one of the old 3COM EtherLink, intel EtherExpress ...

I started using Arachne on the 286 mostly as a means to see if an 80286 could actually do it. The impressive part is I actually have Arachne running at what seems like 800X600 @16-bit color on that o ...

This site is actually my testbed for my vintage machines when they go online, if they can access this, then it's a pretty darned good browser for what I use it for.

My GEM 286 can get on this site ...

The only thing I've notice since the switch, being as I don't give 2 craps about TV anymore and only use mine as a monitor for old computers and video games, is that now my Atari 2600 RF switch picks ...

Do you use EMS memory on your 286? It is said EMS makes Arachne run much faster.

Yep, I try to make as good a use of the hardware availible as possible. At 8MB it's really tolerable for most basic ...

I never even got Arachne to work on my 8086/8088 based machines. On my 80286, it tends to be slow to render, however, it's amazingly capable of rendering things like full-on frames (and mind you, thi ...

I've gone as high as Windows 2000 pro on 486 hardware, my favs though are still DOS 6.22/WFWG 3.11 and Windows 98 Second Edition though, those two seem to be the most stable and easily handled.

It's MCGA, I never had a problem on my more modern VGA monitors, but you need one of the older VGA monitors with a few pins missing from the cable. MCGA is a precursor to VGA, it has the VGA 320X200 ...
