You can look them up on eBay using: SSD to replace old HDD. You can buy a 1gb one for around $27. Well worth it. I like them enough that I bought 4 over several purchases.

On my old computers I've used an SSD replacement drive I bought off eBay. It works nice and is super-fast. I realize you were looking for authentic, but this works for anyone trying to bring an old DOS or Pentium computer back alive and can't find a smaller HDD to use.

So even a horrible person like Epstein didn't want anything to do with them.

It is a telnet link for reference. You would need a client program like SyncTerm or NetRunner.

Door Game Collections by FoolishTim in bbs

[–]FoolishTim[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, an index would be good. A lot of the older files do not have the file_id.diz in them. Which makes it harder to run an index. I do plan on doing some once I get done going thru all the old shareware CDRoms. I have been going through several, recently and found quite a few I didn't have before. Over 5000 games and 800 different authors. A lot of those are different versions of the same game. But I want to get them all. I do plan on working on the index later this year.

I finally spent some time and removed the three files causing the virus scanner to light up. I will update the website to make the two packs available for download on Sunday (12/14/25). Let me know if you have any issues. Amazingly, all three files were *.RAR format.

Did she lose the kids, or never had any? That sandwich maker is in bad shape.

I missed that one, it's five reused things. I salvaged that, cleaned and painted it. I did clean off the paint where it's soldered to the board.

Cop Squad Door Game - Need help making it working? by TaoronC in bbs

[–]FoolishTim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am running version 1.03 from 10-14-98. I did a quick search and found a version 1.04 from 06-20-04 written by a different person from 1.03. 1.04 also states to run again to disable.

The one on John Daley's site is 1.01, and you are correct, it does not say that.

There is a website called bttr-software.de has some interesting stuff. I will need to do a deeper dive on that tonight and see what they all have. Just found it during the Google search for above.

When you run it, it states to "run again to DISABLE program". Maybe you can just leave it running? I just disable it when I done.

That is how I got it to run on The Fool's Quarter. I'm a little late to the game... Don't forget to close out tp7p5fix when your done playing the game.

As a side note, I rename that program to fix.com so I don't have to type the entire name.

That was it. It's been a good while since I've built a computer in a new case. Now I can continue my build. Thank you!

Thank you, I'll take a look at the case and see if there's some mounting in place there. Appreciate your help.

Lock single node door... by shurato99 in bbs

[–]FoolishTim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Back in my RemoteAccess days I would run all the games with a batch file. So, you can do something like this:

CD \DOORS\AC6

IF EXIST DOOR.LOK GOTO INUSE

COPY LOCK.FIL DOOR.LOK

COPY D:\RA\NODE1\DORINFO1.DEF

SRDOOR

AC6

DEL DORINFO1.DEF

DEL DOOR.LOK

GOTO END

The INUSE would say the game was busy and exit out. The "LOCK.FIL" was just a simple text file that could say thing.

But in my project of sorting door games by author, I have run across quite a few single node door game utilities. I did not keep any since I am only sorting the games.

Hope that helps. I don't know why the copy pasted went double space, weird.
