Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Think entering BIOS on a vintage Compaq is tricky? Try triggering the DFU mode on a 2021 MacBook Pro. There's an absurdly specific time window of holding and releasing keys. Fortunately that's necessary much less often than the BIOS was in the 90s.

A wizard of DOS have the power to craft some new magic spells for the command prompt.

I began with the most powerfull DOS command to learn x86 assembly with Debug on 80286 CPU try and error. I saved first routines without a file extension not knowing that these files can use the "com" file extension.😂

Really cool. I am building a modern retro system and it will have XP as well as 7 on it. Thanks for pointing out this tool.

No A, B, C or D. Just plain Enterprise.

I still have mine! 1st edition too. The swollen battery was an issue I had for a while. Eventually, it broke the battery door and I had to order a 3D printed on from a company (not unlike what PCBway can do!) Thankfully, the CAD files for the case were/are still available online, and I bought a new battery from the German store. It still works today, and I'd still be using it for creative writing, unfortunately the hinge broke after all these years so I might need to order another 3D printed replacement, but it was a complicated assembly and the demo videos were pre HD, so I'm scared I might damage it more.

4:12 When COMMAND loads the BIOS and sets the memory and *even the system status is OK* you know it isn't MS-DOS! 😉Murphy, is it OS/2? 🤔 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone 🎄🎉🎆

You Sir, are hilarious. That was very enjoyable and it brought back many memories. Ah, the good and bad old days with DOS. Talking about archaic OSses, being a dinosaur myself I prefer CP/M over MS-DOS. By the way, did I spot there are lovely serial terminal? A perhaps a PDP, even? Not sure - but I did see a serial terminal 🙂 A very merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

I remember when CDROMs were rather new fangled modern technology! First one I had was only compatible with the sound card!

One strange behaviour of the setup software that need to be phisically on a floppy is that if you copy each disk in a folder named disk1, disk2, disk3....disk10...etc, the install program will install the software just ok. I accidentally discovered that when I extracted some floppy images and ran the install from the directory disk1.

Device=himem.sys

It's going to be sad going back to once a week on this channel. Merry Christmas.

Cassette tapes suck in the modern era 🗑️👎

Merry Christmas and thank you for the Advent videos. Wishing you happy 2025.

happy holidays mate!!

Merry Christmas! Thanks for this fun advent calender.

"In a world, where a single mistake can decide between order and chaos ..." The valiant SuperDOSman!!!! 11!1!

Oh man, this is me just the other day trying to get an old Unix distro. My dos 6.22 setup is flawless at the moment… BESIDES THIS DOPEY GENIUS MOUSE!!! Anyway, amazing series, every video was a blast and I got a new windows shell out of it!

Its funny, but I remember all of this. Its more fun when you have to start out by running Fdisk.exe to partition and then format your hard drive. Then you install from A: to C:, not the other way around.

My wife and I wish you also a merry Christmas! Enjoy the days! :)

Damn, fighting with DOS system configs and memory management brings back memories. And a bit of PTSD... Once I figured out how memmaker worked, I was able to squeeze out more KB than it could. LOL

Been there, done that, dreamed of tossing the machine out the window. :)

Lolol hilarious! I could totally feel the frustration.

Heyyyy! I'm an ancient warrior from the prehistoric age in which DOS ruled the earth. This is basically the way I ended up learning how DOS functions, so I say Merry Christmas to you and yours!

The parts other techtubers leave out of their videos.

Happy holidays! I watched every one of these while feeding my 3 month old every night!

Merry Christmas, i have a dejavu from DOS times XD

merry Christmas Gianpaolo! and happy new year! cheers from Argentina

Phintage vs a Compaq Presario CDS524: Presario won at points! A "knock out" at 4:50 by Phintage, but AFTER the bell ( 4:40 ) has NOT not to be considerated.

I don’t miss dos… I miss old dos games! Cheers!

Merry Xmas! 🎄🎁

I've been following every episode, this is one of my favorite channels! It's been so fun to watch all of these advent-time stories!

Merry. Christmas and Happy New Year! Best wishes to you and your family as well!

Almost every 'expansion cards' I had when I was kid were 3rd party or clones, and their device driver parameters were not documented.... My AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS were so cryptic, I couldn't remember if I lost it....

And to think some of us actually **miss** those days! We are truly masochists 😄 Merry Christmas!

May Father Christmas bring you everything you hope for.

Hahaha i always thinking on that was a joke.

This will definitely be me when trying this stuff out lol

Hahaha best one

thank you for all the fun : ) see you next year and happy holidays
