If you want to use folder sharing in netwrok neighbourhood you have to enable SMB protocol in "Turn windows features on or off" and select "Enable file sharing for devices that use 40 or 56 bit encryption" in Advanced sharing settings in network sharing settings. If you need conventional memory available as much as possible you have to add rem and a space to the beginning of every line in config.sys to temporarily disable lines there. There are RUclips videos about how to make boot menus for dos so you have ems and xms enabled or disabled options when booting to DOS.

thank you for the in depth review...I saw some videos on the book8088 and they scared me...this has a bit more power, for me as a software developer it's where the machine got really useful but didn't jump the shark with 6 ways to do the same thing. Going to be getting one and start diving back into old tools I used to use back in the day...

Hi Josh...Could you do a video of how to get new programs on the compact flash? I would like to get an old copy of Matlab on mine.

Josh, have you seen the vid from @polymatt ? he 3D printed a 701C case

I watched this video again and I cant help but see that some of the colors in those games do not look correct. Some of the reds/magentas look like a purple/pink color. The video capture output looks much better though.

A big hello from the UK and a big thanks for your in-depth introduction in the Pocket 386. I’ve always been a retro gamer/computer enthusiast and have just received my pocket 386 from Ali Express. I was never really knowledgeable on the 386/DOS so your video was a HUGE help so I can’t thank you enough. I look forward to any updates 👍. Keep up the fantastic content! ❤

I've got a very old Dell Latitude LS400 from around the Millennium..works fine..cost me some 25 British Pounds (around 35 dollars ) in spare non working LS to replace broken parts..installing Windows 98se was a bit of a struggle..aren't all retro devices if you don't have driver disks and accessories..got the touchpad to work fine and external PS/2 mouse..i prefer the mouse control..no annoying missing .dll or missing entry points etc notifications finally..that Laptop on the video..limit for games is about Prince of Persia..even pinball might be a push for it

Why no driver CD?

The Artefacting in the OSD for Hardware toggles ? did that bother you.

Heh. They’re just using standard Half-Life key mappings… WASD+mlook for movement and E for actions. If I got one of these I’d likely keep them unchanged, I have too much muscle memory from playing Quake and HL/HL 2/Portal/Portal 2 to be able to use classic mappings at this point. Also, my very first PC also rocked a 40 MHz 386SX, but it didn’t have a sound card and had a paltry amount of memory… I’d love to have one of these just for nostalgia’s sake and for loading some of my old games. Sure, I can run them in Boxer/DOSBox on my Mac but it’s not the same as doing so on actual hardware.

Hi. Nice video. What size is your USB drive ? I've tried with one 2GB USB drive formatted as FAT16 but my Pocket386 does not seem to be able to mount it. With what utility have you formatted yours ? Does it matter if the partition type is guided or it has MBR ?

Looks like a gpd win mini

I've been trying to use mine to play music but i can't find a way to add new ones

386SX, that's unfortunate, that's a 386 crippled with a 16 bit bus.

I already have the book 8088 and ordered this one. I have a real 80386 at home but as it olds, I prefer to play with this one.

Definitely heard of it, but I’m an old goober

This any more reliable than the dreadfully built 8080 book? Lots of reviews but I was the only one who actually ran it for an extended period and it failed. Not sure I'd trust them again.

Yeah doom on a 386SX was never much fun.. You really need a 386DX for that. If this was a 386DX40 I'd be ordering this like a shot.

Probably a basic question but can you tell me how you set up the flash drive with games so the directory would come up with them? I'm not doing it right.

Great job, Josh! I enjoyed watching! 😊

A pentium-1 version of this, with a sound card that can play sound samples, would be awesome. Graphics … 3DFX would be amazing, but any graphics chip with decently fast framebuffer access would also be very good. Will keep an eye out!

So neat to check out! I like how you effortlessly set up the game consoles and I get confused just trying to use the Nintendo switch lol 😂 Nice job having a sense of humor about how difficult the game port set up is, I imagine that must be a pain waiting for it to work

god i would love to use one of these with bsd.

Can it run a Covox Speech thing in place of an Adlib OPL3 externally? I don't see why not, but it would be good to test it out. I'm thinking that either an ISA card would suffice for a classic Sound Blaster 8 bit card, or you could really go all-out and put a riser card atop the system to extend the bus to a full system literally. The question is whether it will support that or not, and whether it is able to properly handle DMA requests, or if it is hard-coded to only just use one slot and a pre-configured. Also, does DPMI access all 8mb in protected mode for any program? Or do you have to have other DOS extenders that are proprietary in nature and might/might not work based upon it? Dos32 should be the the usual, but I'm wondering if programming in Turbo Pascal, Assembly Language, or C has any hangups or gotchas that I have to worry about beyond just using Dos games? It should be fine with general Dos games and maybe Nesticle as far as emulators, but I am concerned about whether or not I will have full control as a programmer. Can I use existing programs that I have written and expect them to run like before, or will I have to rewrite it and change it accordingly?

I just got mine today. It's only been a few hours and I've already screwed up my autoexec and config.sys files. Where can I find the image file mentioned in the manual?

Thanks to this video, I decided to get one of these for myself, and I can’t wait to try it out on my Libretto and other vintage laptops.

Old laptops are so cool! Great video.

I have a Toshiba Satellite 440CDX running Windows 95. This might work on it if drivers are available.

Hi Josh! You always amaze me with the Tech you find. The butterfly keyboard, and now this. I've been in the IT industry for about 30 years, and never knew these existed. I guess "back in the day" I always played my games on a desktop with a joystick. I used to work for Mack Trucks WHQ and we had plenty of Toshiba Tecra's and Satellite Pro's for our mobile workforce, and I'm guessing they never needed a joystick port. Ha ha! Thanks again!!

Late to the Party. Another great vlog and interesting learning experience by Josh Nelson 👏👏👏. Thanks again for all your hard work Josh

Such a fun hobby!

I forgot the chonk on some laptop's 😂 reminds me of how excited i was to repair a busted up toshiba running xp and i had no clue what i was going lol. I cleaned the board reseated eveything the best i could and boom figured it out. Tho the battery never did work the run time was decent and i mainly got on aim and facebook but then the magical website youtube came to be and i started to watch tutorials like this and learnd about limewire and so many cool things! Even burned my first cd with that thing for my walkmen cd player. Good days man.🥹 matter of fact it was a Vintage Toshiba Satellite 2100CDT

Awesome Josh! 😉👌🏼💙

For a reminder for the kids that weren't around back then. My 486DX2-66 had an early Soundblaster sound card that included the IDE controller for the CD-ROM drive, and the joystick port.

This was my first computer! I spent hours upon hours of typing in programs from magazines in BASIC Computer Language! My parents kept them in the basement, and I still had them, in their boxes, but they were thrown out with the sale of my childhood home! I remember being thrilled with the program that made my name flash on and off on my family's 19 19-inch television! I was 17 years old!

Mostly reasonably orice...😂 very cool!

Hi Josh! That definitely reminded me of the old days when I had to fiddle with the driver locations like you did to get my device to work! It was always so satisfying to get it working after all the frustration. I would usually let out a big "WooHoo" after that!

Sharing with my brother

Great video! Love seeing you try the games on different computers. Awesome pac man shirt

This is cool

Chuckled a bit at the Faded with Alan Walker midi somebody placed on this machine. That one is so out of place, yet not at all out of place😅

Seriously the coolest intro on RUclips, watch for that alone!

The iPhone 3G, is, in fact, the iPhone 2G in a new body, the only thing that they did, was give it a 3g modem, and that's it! They claimed it was the best iPhone ever, but no it wasn't, it got ios 4 and it was dogslow on its latest firmware. Bluetooth can connect to airpods, i tried it with the 2g and it freakin' works!

You probably won’t see this, but if you do… how would I go about connecting a floppy drive to this? Did they make parallel or serial port floppy drives? This is just outside my memory range.

I replaced all of my old drives with SSD or with flash card and it made a great difference of course for speed and battery life.

I like how you're showing things that don't work out of the box and how to actually make them work

Were you not too into laptops back in the 90s? The power supply is obviously internal and IR was popular for PDAs. EDIT: Also you thought the floppy drive connected to the PCMCIA card? EDIT: 95% of PCMCIA cards required a dongle.

I still have iphone 3gs because I like old phones

Another fascinating show! Thanks Josh!

I don’t understand a whole lot but I certainly enjoyed watching and learning! I’m going to watch more! Thank you!
