Microsoft on taas kaivellut historiallisia arkistojaan
Nyt on julkaistu MS-DOSin "edeltäjän" varhaisia versioita, jotka löydettiin ainoastaan tulosteina ja digitoitiin jälkipolvien iloksi. 86-DOS:n ja PC-DOSin ensimmäiset versiot löytyvät nyt avoimena lähdekoodina GitHubista.

@pertho@mastodon.bsd.cafe @rootwyrm@weird.autos yes and if the sole reason for @OS1337@infosec.space was to use dd & ddrescue on some industrial thingy that runs #MSDOS then yeah that would be fine.
I just think that yeeting i486 is wrong cuz #i486 requires way less workarounds than #i386 to work wellCuz yes there are still new machines deployed with i486-only #CPU|s / #SoC|s in #industrial setups!

Old man yells at Tech. Some say, I'm a hacker. I say I'm just obsolete. Random content, might contain traces of vintage computers. No politics.

Sometimes things are very Doom, but still not Gloom.
FastDoom running on a recent Viaduct 1.6 beta in Plantronics ColorPlus mode, after some tweaking of the rendering code. Still hoping to release this Viaduct update in this decade... Maybe... 😅

Developing #retrogames for the #ibmpc of the early 1980s running #msdos and featuring #cga graphics. Turn-based strategy, puzzle and RPG! Fun in all four colours. With a fondness for Sinclair #zxspectrum and #psion handhelds too.

You can emulate #Dragonfell on modern systems via DOSBox and a free #PsionSeries3 emulator for #msdos. There's an emulation package that provides step-by-step instructions for obtaining and installing the two emulators, as well as a version of the game packaged specifically for those emulators. Future plans might possibly include an #msdos #cga version of the game, but in the mean time, this is a good solution. Get it from https://cyningstan.itch.io/dragonfell-psion-3 #Psion
