This stand-alone configuration presented a problem, namely how to transfer files between it and my main, internet-capable computer. Besides, I don't want my XP partition to be anywhere near the Internet due to security concerns. Also, the only way to ensure reasonable speed with my Windows XP SP3 install on this 500Mhz Celeron computer is to have all network services disabled. Networking is complicated between MS-DOS/Win 98SE and Windows 7. My disk imaging computer is not networked in any way.
It's actually got three operating systems on call:Īll three operating systems are needed as I use imaging tools which specifically require them. This is a dual-boot Celeron Windows 98/Windows XP machine which I use for floppy file recovery, disk imaging and writing 5.25 inch floppy disks in various formats for use in a number of vintage machines. Some of my IBM 5160 PC-XT-based 486 system (and growing):How to add USB flash drive capability to MS-DOS and Windows 98 IntroductionĪpart from my Internet-capable Windows 7 machine, there is one other machine I keep set up and "work ready". Here is a list of the DOS system and applications I have installed which continues to grow. Hence, I have a lot of software installed and running on each system and for each OS. I know a lot of folks enjoy vintage systems from a hardware interest (which is why many like to create vintage systems that are true to the original), but I am more of a software guy and enjoy collecting running the broadest collection of vintage software that I can find and support on each vintage system - even if that means enhancing each build with 3rd party components of the day, or even augment with modern components (my hardware mod limit is sticking with the original system motherboard and BIOS of each system).
