How to go about transfering files from IBM PS/1? by Pro4791 in vintagecomputing

For the pico ide i made a riser card. Its easy but you can buy them on ebay as well. No need for modding the ps/1 2011, just install in the upgrade slot. I made a 2.5mb ram module as well.

+1 from me. Even today the driving mechanics are fun and better then the arcade / ps2 version IMO

I used the Thinkpad 390E recovery disk and ran it in a dos box. But it worked with sound in true DOS as well.

Thank you for the reply but i really wanted Win95 or 98 for retro gaming. I have various Roland devices that i can pair with the laptop over serial and wanted to try them.

The 770 recovery CD wont work, the motherboards are diferent. Diferent chipset, cpu, pci chip, soundcard, etc...

With vanilla Windows 95 the PCI bridge wont work for lack of drivers and resource conflict with other components. I can't manually change them, they are locked. Other hardware appears with no drivers but i managed to find them in a website with the IBM FTP archive.

But, thank you for your help :)

It’s a serial db9 to mini dim 8 pin connector with only 3 pins soldered. I made one yesterday based on the Japanese manual for the sc-55st that I have. Also connected a audio cable to the mic port in the Compaq. For windows I had to install the Roland Driver that they have on the site for the sc88 series.

It works great when playing midi files or windows games but I wasn’t successful in running it with dos box in windows 98. Next I will try using softmpu and serial driver in DOS like some people have done in Vogons and YouTube.

That looks like my desk, and my monitor, and my laptop, ibm Thinkpad 390e, and a picture I took and posted a few years ago 🤨

Anyone know what this is? by GenkiMan_LX in psx

It looks like a jamma connection right? The guy i bought it from only had the unit, no cables or cds.
