Setup & Installation / Re: DOS/WIN Issues

« on: September 11, 2022, 06:41:08 am »

I finally got the chance to install the patch. It seems now my full-screen DOS works now, before it would open and I couldn’t type anything and also Win-OS2 works for me now Windowed DOS mode still does the same thing with the weird characters. I’d say I made some progress. If it helps I am using an IBM Thinkpad 20CD.

How can you find the size of a directory? I’ve been searching for a way. Can’t find anything yet they all show as zero.

Hi yes it's a new install. I figured it was a BIOS setting and I went back and looked but didn't see any settings. It's a ThinkPad Yoga 20CD.

Setup & Installation / DOS/WIN Issues

« on: August 18, 2022, 06:14:47 pm »

I can't run DOS Windowed, the window opens and the prompt is this: >: and that's all I get. DOS full screen I get the prompt but I can't type anything. Neither windowed or full screen OS2/WIN sessions do anything but lock up the computer. Any suggestions? I already added /int10textgrfxsafe to my config.sys as I found in the ArcaOS website.

Console cables are rollover or crossover cables. These typically come with the switches to provide an initial setup.

I tried QPutty but there is no serial option. With ZOC I can see the serial output from the switch but can't type anything.

Can anyone recommend an app to connect to serial devices? I found my COM port with the help here. I'm trying to connect to a network switch to test out the connection.

I am trying to get OpenTTD and SDLPoP to run but I get an error message about SDL not being able to run in a DOS window. I have SDL installed with YUM. Any suggestions? I tried installing the SDL DLL's from Hobbes but I get the same error.

Applications / USBTree

« on: August 16, 2022, 05:58:05 pm »

I'm going to try to hook up a serial -> usb cable and test out a terminal app. Where can I find the USBTree to try to see where ArcaOS assigns the COM port? I can 'see' the cable in Hardware Manager but I don't know what it's been assigned to.
