IBM DOS 3.30 is surprisingly capable, but unfortunately it only supports partition sizes of up to 32MB. This is annoying!
#DOS
After a few weeks of procrastination, I finally took the time to read up on how to use EDLIN.COM. There's simply no way around it if you want to work with early versions of DOS from the 80s.
This here is me adding a few new lines to the AUTOEXEC.BAT of an IBM DOS 3.30. It ain't much, but it works! 😃
#QModem 4.51 #Source #Code release of an MS-DOS telecommunications program authored by John Friel III (1960–2024). This source snapshot reflects the state of QModem "Test-Drive" edition, version 4.51, as it existed in early 1992. The release is presented in the hope it may prove valuable as a historical artifact, for #telecommunications enthusiasts, retrocomputing hobbyists, or anyone interested in the inner workings of a classic #DOS comms package https://github.com/AaronFriel/qmodem-4.51

#retrocomputing question:
Is there any real mode Objective-C compiler for #DOS? I know about djgpp. Or any DOS compilers beside djgpp?
I don't need the NeXTstep / GNUstep / MacOS X library functions, just core language + classes.
Are the any DOS binaries for PObjC?

Thanks in advance. Please be so kind to boost!
Vintage AI vibes: A programmer ported the Llama 2 LLM to run on old DOS systems. Using a modified llama2.c, AI inference now works offline on machines from the 90s, albeit slowly. A fascinating weekend retro project.
I always wonder why Windows XP's title bar is blue. It was so bright, saturated. But compared to Windows 3.1, it looks like a modernized version of that legacy.
Ah yes, because who doesn't want to waste precious time resurrecting a 1991 #DOS game to unravel its "genius" #copy protection—by making itself unwinnable? 🕹️🔍 #Nostalgia is apparently the new productivity, because who needs a functioning game when you can have a PHD in #retro #ski #jumping failures? 🎿💾

🌘 微軟 Word 5.5 與 6.0 DOS 深度評測 (附圖)
➤ 昔日文字處理器的演進與DOS平臺的獨特體驗
✤ https://shot97retro.blogspot.com/2018/07/microsoft-word-55-and-60-in-depth-dos.html
本文深入回顧了微軟 Word 5.5 和 6.0 在 DOS 系統上的表現。儘管早期 Word 並未在 DOS 平臺上取得成功，但蘋果 Macintosh 的崛起卻意外地拯救了它。文章分析了 Word 在不同平臺上的發展，以及它最終超越 WordPerfect 成為市場領導者的過程。作者親身體驗了 Word 5.5/6.0 的使用，並分享了其獨特的介面和功能，以及在 DOS 時代的優缺點。
+ 真是令人懷唸的時代，那些早期軟體的限制和獨特性，現在回頭看來別有一番風味。
+ 這篇文章讓我更瞭解 Word 的發展歷程，以及蘋果公司對其成功所做的貢獻。

NetDrive with read-ahead caching, running on a VM to a local server and to a server 50ms away. A 4KB read-ahead cache results in a 3x speedup locally and nearly a 5x speedup on the remote server.
Real hardware results depend on the speed of the hardware. Slow machines don't benefit much when connected to local servers, but they still get the full benefit on remote connections.
