YT2095 Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 I`ve finaly fixed that old 486 laptop and have it working off a car battery now. it has no HDD, only the HD (1.22mb) floppy drive. I rem when I was an educational S/ware writer WAY BACK, an we had a room full of 286 machines. I used to uses QBASIC to write in. All would fit just great on a 720k floppy as well as the program! any idea where I can still get this from (for free if possible as I`m sure there`s no call for it now)? or even if it still exists? and if not QBASIC then any other BASIC that will allow parallel port access with (2 or 3)86 type overheads, and fits on a single floppy.

YT2095 Posted February 1, 2005 Author Share Posted February 1, 2005 this has to run from DOS, the laptop has no HDD and thus no windows or GUI. anyone know a place I can get it from? the prog is a good 15+ years old and 720k floppy based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossoi Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Isn't QBasic included with DOS? I've got QBasic 1.1 for DOS (332kb) - give me a shout if you need it. Or what about a C64 emulator with it's fantastic BASIC capabilities: http://www.computerbrains.com/ccs64/ - the file's just over 800k though but you might be able to do something. If you need any help with basic here's a little something to get you going 10 print "hello" 20 goto 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
