  I purchased https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0753HBT12   ($10).
  Seems to work AOS (ZOC) <> Win11 (Tera Term).

  These are available in quantity new from Amazon and utilize the PL2303.

I commented out the DOSKEY line on the T530, no change, no keyboard input.

The DOSKEY line, that I commented out, is the same as on a virutalbox install that works just fine.

I've included my config.txt, in case that might help.

Thanks,
Dan

Will update when I have a resolution.

I put in a ticket with AN regarding FT232. They confirmed it isn't supported, but they would look in to adding support at a future date.

Thanks for the information Dariusz.
The press release seemed to hold a lot of promise.  You have cleared up for me, what happened.
Thank You.

Hardware / SNAP Driver Source

 ** This question is not meant in a negative way towards Arca Noae **

I noticed this article:
https://www.arcanoae.com/arca-noae-licenses-snap-graphics-os2-code/
 from 2015

It do not remember seeing, a lot of use of this source code to expand the drivers to newer chips sets, instead more of a focus on vesa as a write once, run anywhere solution. 

Just curious as to what happened/how that works, as I remember the early days of graphics chips having 100's of pages of manual explaining how to program them, then came CGA/Hercules - again with lots of, even bigger manuals explaining how to program them, then EGA - with even bigger books, then finally, I don't own a copy, but one really thick book on programming the 'VGA' chip.

Now, I don't know how programmers learn about the capabilities of various graphics chips, which continue to develop at a breakneck pace, both Nvidia, Intel and AMD.

My config had a floppies = 0, which would make sense as I didn't have the device plugged in during installation.
It was easy peasy to change that to a 1.

I was then able to reboot and access a: perfectly.

But... and you knew there would be a but.

When I went to start a DOS session full screen to do the install, that worked, BUT... the darn keyboard quit taking input.

I was able to get to the CAD menu, but it also wouldn't accept any key strokes.

Anyone have any clues as to what that's about?

Thanks,
Dan

I have a new (to me) demo disk.

Can someone that has a working USB Floppy Disk, share their config.sys mojo with me?
AOS 5.1.1.

Thanks,

Thanks, I will give these a look!

Love the 15C. Downloaded, easy to run, doesn't take many cpu cycles.

Thanks Martin,
   Another take home, is google and grok don't do a very good job of cataloging hobbes.
   I need to always manual search for best results.

Thanks, the 15c java looks interesting, and I will need to take on the side quest of getting a java app running!

Applications / Calculator options.

I have been using the "Useful Calculator" by Alexander Taylor.

I'm a bit of an odd duck, and have always had an HP bias, do I have any RPN options, that run natively on Presentation Manager?

A couple of quick search, haven't brought up anything - grok said use a web based calculator, maybe find one the runs under windows 3.1 or consider custom development.

I was wondering the same thing, as the registration is only $25.

So I wrote the email address in the docs.

I will reply back here, if I get an answer.

Paypal, now being the easiest option.

Firefox 45.9.0

Switching to that tab bring cpu utilization down to nothing.

It might be a Dan created problem, the web page I usually open just to test if I can connect to the internet is ibm.com (short url).
BUT, that tab seems to spike utilization.

Now, I need to dig in to performance monitoring.

No add-ins. Firefox directly from AOS 5.1.1 install.
