  • (not) having a job

    From fang-castro@420:2/1 to All on Monday, October 04, 2021 18:08:00
    I'm just pretending I have a job now... today:

    Nothing like having an extended weekend; I haven't played enough Rimworld, smoked enough weed, fucked around w/textmode stuff and put off the rear suspension on my car again.

    Boy are the next four days at work going to be busy! Thank goodness for this rest.

    Well, I have a job, but I've been playing with DOSBOX running a disk image
    and a real version of DOS 6.22. Installed Windows 3.11 and Geoworks, and am spending way too much time reliving my 90's computing environment.

    I didn't think you could run an actual DOS with DOSBox; I thought DOSBox basically had its own implementation of a DOS environment. How is that different from running MS-DOS 6.22 in a VM with something like VMWare or VirtualBox etc.?

    It's similar.

    Instead of running its own environment, you create a blank disk image (basically a container file) and boot the DOS installation disk. from DOS setup, you format the disk image, install DOS on it, and when you boot again, you're running in DOS.

    The serial port redirection works, I can connect via Telix to port 23, and packet drivers work fine.
