I have the Compaq disks that come with a Portable
III, I think it's DOS
3.31. I also have the Compaq diag disk to set the
BIOS in the Portable III and other models.
Fine, but Will be 'rev. G'??
DOS 3.31 was released in November 87 and Compaq was
using it until 5.0 (they skipped 4.0), AFAIK 'rev. G'
was the last iteration (1990), probably an update
(somthing like IBM's CSD) was available from compaq
but I suppose that they have forgotten this. Anybody
knows something about ??
I need to dupe these disks anyways, I can make a set
for you too. I need to install a 5 1/4 disk in a
modern machine first.
There are DOS proggies able to do the job, my favorite
is DiskXpress (it even can convert boot disk images to
another sizes). I really prefer to use DOS to do the
job since Windoze trash the boot record OEM id.
Now the big question....
Can I still buy 5 1/4 disk blanks?
Making a bit of cleaning I've found a bunch
of DD
5.25" with junk, they where 320KB formated ... All had
bad sectors!! :-(
And do you need 5 1/4 or 3 1/2? OR - can you use a
dd > copy (disk image) that will allow you to make
your own?
Don't worry use 3.5" ones.
Thanks a lot.
