Hi folks.
Hi. Well, looks like there aren't any other folks out there with an
answer, so why don't I take a shot at this one :)
I have a little problem. I got an Amstrad PC1640 HD20. Real old.
Well, really old means a lot of different things to different people. I

I recall mention of DesqViewX allowing an X-server for a 286, but I can't

Hi there,
Sorry to bother you again.
Is it possible to run a browser on linux running on 286 or lower cpu m/c?
Can I connect CDROM drives to those m/cs.
For the record, I used a CDROM with my 286 with no problem, I used a
SoundBlaster cd drive, but IDE and SCSI should work fine as well.
A few of us had this exact same problem on PS/2 machines, and I believe
the problem ended up not being the disk drive but rather the keyboard not
being detected. A simple test, if you can do it, would be to try the
combo boot/root image, and see if it hangs or not. Sence you are using

I want to use this maschine with ELKS in future so I decided to make a

Surely the point of ELKS is that it's an *embedded* Linux system
(routers, settop boxen, etc), so even if multi-user is a possibility,
it's not a major design feature, eh? And if we're sticking the netstack
in userspace, this re-enforces the principle that "C2 compliant"

I don't think you understand, the whole point of having a BIOS file is
because different systems *aren't* the same, instead of having to
re-write
or re-compile the OS for each system, a BIOS file is used instead which
has the correct information for that given system. Like you said, all

Since I've mangled the 3c503 driver to bits, I could re-create that code

How common are these PCjr machines? If they are quite rare it may only be
worth including support for them as an option. If there are alot about,
then we should support them out of the box.
Just a few comments about the PCjr.
