Hi all,
I found an original MS disk today labled Windows/286. It says that it
contains Setup, Build and Displays 1. Does anyone know how many disks are
supposed to be in this set? I was thinking of installing it on one of my
old 286 systems just out of curiousity.

Of course that would be possible; however, that would be quite some expense
since it involves a lot of manual labour, very expensive here in Germany !

I agree. Can those of you who are intimate with this hardware please
enlighten those of us who are not? This stuff sounds pretty cool but without
more information it's rather hard to tell . . .

what about that GEOS/newdeal app? its not really an os, its more like a shell
like win3.1 but runs on old machines and would give you a GUI.

Well in my case it's a 286/10 with 1mb ram if it needs more I'm cooked.
But there is Minix, DR-dos, CCPM to try.
os/2 version 1.3 requires at least 2 meg when configured for dos and native
apps. i'd suggest 2.0 or higher since it has the workplace shell. if you
can't get os/2 running well on a pentium, you're not doing something right.

No. Byte Magazine first used the term "laptop" in reference to a production
computer, after viewing the Epson HX-20 at a trade show in November 1981.
The Model 100 came out in March 1983.

Hi,
I walked into Radio Shack today, and was delighted to see a row of posters
on their wall with photos of old Radio Shack stores and equipment from the
beginning of the chain to now. They mentioned that the TRS Model 100 was
'the first laptop in the industry'. Is this even marginally true?
