Hi,
I really have no idea why this has taken me so long, but I finally
downloaded the latest ELKS disk images and made a floppy and booted up my
XT. First off, I found something interesting. I have a high density
controller with it's own BIOS, as well as a SCSI controller, which seemed
to give me trouble when I left off last time. Well, I was able to boot
without the SCSI card installed, no problem. Then I install the
controller, and ELKS still finds my hard drive and my floppy drive type,
but it can no longer autoprobe the floppy type. Of course booting from
floppy, I know that it still functions. Maybe a BIOS conflict of some
sort?
Anyway, with ELKS running, I had to pause for a minute and ask
myself why I hadn't been using it before now! Everything looks great, the
only problem...I don't have any ELKS software! I remember mention of a
terminal emulator, is that still around somewhere? I'll dig around and
see what I can find, but if someone knows, that would be great. I guess I
still need a serial card anyway, but ideally I'll use the system for
e-mail reading if nothing else!
Dan
