The only downside seems to be the speed limit of RS232, the LPT adapter does up to 1.5 Mbit which is 10 times faster. By the way I love your channel, especially the fact that you've managed to use custom resolutions such as 640 x 200, is there any way to support those on Windows?

    I just bought one of these and it is very frustrating that I cannot use a USB mouse.

I know that I can use a PS2 to USB adapter but that makes it even more inconvenient.

      Theoretically, it is possible to connect a floppy drive controller from an external ISA interface, thus connecting an external floppy drive. I'm not sure if the BIOS will correctly identify it, but as far as I know, the machine's developer is working on an external dock that includes a 16-bit ISA slot, serial and parallel ports, and a standard notebook floppy drive interface.

    Hello, good work. I like to make tiny executable com files for DOS with a little help from the external debug command, but i use a special version of debug that provide 16 bit and additional 32 bit instructions for 80386+ CPU. The version from MS DOS provide 16 bit instructions only. To create a new executable com file i use batch files as an open source container to put all instructions of a routine inside the batch file. Most of these special container batch files have to start with one or more parameter attached separated with a space between. Example with row color "text" attached: CENTER.BAT 8 1b "output center align" I made some videos(no speech) to show how it works and to share the batch file. Have fun.❤
