#DOScember
For the final day of #DOScember 2025 I give you part 4 of my #IBM5150 restoration video series. With lots of help from the community, I try to trace down what IC(s) are keeping my IBM 5150 from booting.
The IBM 5150 will return in 2026 for Part 5!
Happy Jank-tastic New Year!
New Video: Installing FreeDOS 1.4 on a ThinkPad T23 #DOScember https://youtu.be/aJiIBRJgVgA
Something seems off with the AMD 8088 CPU at U3 on my #IBM5150 that I am trying to restore for #DOScember.
Pin 22 Ready should go HIGH when the CPU is ready to start executing code. The view on the oscilloscope shows high then low. Not good.

One final #DOScember 2025 video in the works. Stay tuned. ππ
For my last #DOScember article, I set up a 5MB FreeDOS system with just the kernel, COMMAND shell, Edlin editor, and a tiny C compiler so I can write programs the old-school way:

Make programming fun by going back to the basics. Install a tiny version of FreeDOS and see what you can create.
Here's another #DOScember article thanks to @allthingsopen
I use the FreeDOS Edlin editor quite a lot. It's very handy for writing batch files.

Gregory Pietsch made Edin very portable. It also compiles and runs on Linux! π§
