Back
[00:04:07] <rue_house> bah, I have harddrives with more hours than that.
[00:06:24] * katsmeow just noticed one of the younger hdd on this puter has files saved in 2004
[00:08:47] <rue_house> I installed the OS on this machine 1999/2000
[00:10:11] <rue_house> katsmeow, your the only other person in the world who can keep an OS going as long as that!
[00:11:34] <katsmeow> :-)
[00:12:41] <Jymmm> CP/M !
[00:12:44] <katsmeow> i'd still have a working win95B install, but winxp did a search and destroy of all win95b upgrades across my lan
[00:12:45] * Jymmm snickers *
[00:13:05] <katsmeow> my dos5 floppies are toast
[00:13:10] <rue_house> really?
[00:13:15] <katsmeow> yeas
[00:13:17] <rue_house> I have dos 6 floppy images
[00:13:44] <rue_house> I'v never hears xp doign that one before
[00:13:44] <Jymmm> I might have some DOS images ready
[00:14:03] <katsmeow> how about a usb version that can install (and be bootable) to a hdd?
[00:14:18] <rue_house> I have dos 6.22, but not in origional install disks
[00:14:25] <Jymmm> DOS never supported USB (per se)
[00:14:35] <Jymmm> I have 6.21
[00:14:36] <rue_house> dont talk so fast
[00:14:44] <katsmeow> it did, it reverted 95 back to the oem install , deleted all FAT32 drivers for instance
[00:14:52] <rue_house> lots of the win95 drivers could be loded in config.sys
[00:15:18] <rue_house> I had to do that with the video card I had
[00:15:28] <rue_house> cause I was running windows 3.1
[00:15:29] <katsmeow> i still have the drives, one may boot as dos 7.xx
[00:16:13] <Jymmm> How about FreeDOS ?
[00:16:47] <Jymmm> katsmeow: got a mac by chance?
[00:17:48] <katsmeow> got a old mac something upstairs, inhereited it, never used that one, did do custom plugins for a apple ~1977-78
[00:19:34] <rue_house> cool, I can use ls -lurt to see the last access time of files, I could trim all the dead files from things
[00:19:40] <Jymmm> Ok, I have a W98ERD FDD image (still looking)
[00:20:19] <katsmeow> delete all your win98 , any OS that has 3 versions of FORMAT, and all of them buggy and incompatable, deservs death
[00:21:05] <rue_house> lots of 2011, I wonder if my last backup was 2011
[00:21:43] <Jymmm> katsmeow: Do you want/need dos? If not, I'll stop looking.
[00:21:50] <rue_house> I been running the same install of linux for 16 years, why would I reinstall an OS?
[00:21:56] <katsmeow> i am not looking for dos
[00:21:59] <Jymmm> k

[00:24:51] <katsmeow> i still have a working QEMM
[00:24:57] <rue_house> I went from apple IIe to 386
[00:25:05] <katsmeow> and Xtree Gold
[00:25:10] <rue_house> I touched commodore but never did anything with it
[00:25:22] <rue_house> ah yes, love xtree gold

[00:25:44] <Jymmm> DirectAccess5
[00:25:48] <rue_house> my dos machiens harddrive is in the freezer just now
[00:25:58] <Jymmm> rue_house: file recovery huh?
[00:26:01] <rue_house> waiting for a opportunity to give up its data just one last time
[00:26:13] <katsmeow> launched in dos, use Turbo Pascal to make win3.1 gui
[00:26:19] <rue_house> I have a backup, but its not a full, complete one
[00:26:32] <rue_house> oh DRA!
[00:26:36] <rue_house> yea, thats what I used
[00:26:42] <rue_house> with the menus and the submenus
[00:26:46] <Jymmm> yep
[00:26:48] <rue_house> I didn't recognize the name
[00:27:27] <Jymmm> https://winworldpc.com/res/img/screenshots/5x-5023365c563a4d7a386d897e65722345-Direct%20Access%205%20-%20Menu.png
[00:27:29] <rue_house> if it weren't past bedtime I might recover it just to play tetris again
[00:27:50] <rue_house> I used white on blue theme
[00:28:14] <rue_house> geez, not even any submenus
[00:28:20] <Jymmm> I stil have it and the original manual (as well as the backdoor)
[00:28:22] <rue_house> oh I guess utilities was one
[00:28:27] <katsmeow> i still used dos consoles, got 1 working now, and i set them to colors to denote different tasks
[00:29:08] <rue_house> a toast, to the days before bloatware, spyware and adware!
[00:29:17] <Jymmm> lol
[00:29:22] <rue_house> the days before EVERY OS SUCKED
[00:29:27] <katsmeow> settor.bat sets up vars and recolors the console to dark blue on white
[00:29:47] <rue_house> I recall playing with the dos colours too, I think I liked blue on black
[00:29:59] <katsmeow> hard to see blue on black!
[00:30:11] <rue_house> I made a utility to dial the repeat delay all the way down and the repeat rate all the way up
[00:30:34] <katsmeow> for speedier errors?
[00:30:51] <rue_house> na, I typed fast
[00:31:03] <rue_house> thats where I learned my patience lasts about 100ms
[00:31:13] <katsmeow> there's a dos emu for the raspi, but it lacks redirection and piping
[00:31:40] <rue_house> I'll share that program too if you want
[00:31:53] <rue_house> sometime
[00:31:59] <katsmeow> nah, i know how to change dos settings :-)
[00:32:28] <Jymmm> I'm debting getting rid of this http://imgur.com/qHCLmzq
[00:32:58] <rue_house> you cant, there pre-icons
[00:33:08] <rue_house> that is, the 3.5 became the icon
[00:33:38] <Jymmm> Well, all of these actually (they are complete, and some even came with VERTICAL function key overlays) http://imgur.com/SU1A73Z
[00:34:33] <rue_house> oh, no, I'm on imugr again!

[00:38:34] <Jymmm> They are going for $15 + shipping
[00:39:06] <Jymmm> and lots of "not sold"
[00:39:19] <katsmeow> yeas, you gotta keep relisting
[00:40:52] <Jymmm> Not worth the listing fee(s), rather just donate to local thrift shop or barter on craigslist
[00:42:14] <katsmeow> they run free listing promos occasionally
[00:42:17] <Jymmm> And this is mostly why... http://imgur.com/qVtRlbk
[00:43:05] <katsmeow> yeas
[00:43:33] <Jymmm> I standardized on uSD a long time ago

[22:58:36] <^kat^> kPa (1500 psf), and some unique parts of a structure,
[22:58:36] <^kat^> such as the sponsons on an aircraft carrier, are designed
[22:58:36] <^kat^> for as high as 359 kPa (7,500 psf).
[23:09:52] <^kat^> The equivalent lifetime sea
[23:09:52] <^kat^> time for the vessel is 960 weeks or 581 million seconds.
