Example Drive Image

  • jPC_HDD_386.zip contains an preinstalled FreeDos 1.2, and some shareware classics like CD Man, Commander Keen, Dr. Rudy, Jetpack, Jill Of The Jungle, Overkill and others. Unfortunately, this image will not work with the XT System.

Prerequisites

The project requires the Tseng ET 4000 BIOS ROM (and optionally the IBM Basic) which I can't give you. You have to "find" them yourself - for educational purposes of course :).

Starting

  • Compile the project
  • Place et4000.bin (and optionally basicc11.bin) into the folder ./data/roms/ before you start the project.

Compiled project

  • You'll find a compiled version of the project in the corresponding issues thread.

Useful Tools

  • WinImage, for manipulating hard disk images. You have to have this in order to create your own hard disk images and to copy files from your pc into that image.

Have fun.
