hey all, kinda going in the opposite direction of the nature of the forums but i need some advice for building an old system xD
we are having some probs in working getting one of the laths to recieve data from a pc after we installed the software on a "new pc".
the old system was a 286/386 chip with win 3.1.
the "new" pc was a intel celeron 2.6... lol
but apparently the pc is too fast/new as the data transmission would always fail.
so ive managed to dig up my old amd k6-II 500 pc that was in bits and bobs and going to see if that works.
the rest of the spec is 512mb ramm and a ati rage 128 agp graphics card, some hdd and a cd-rw and dvd player.
right so i think we might try windows 95 first off so i assume its just the same as other windows installs? (i cant remember doing it before) just pop it in and boot.... if it still dont work we might try windows 3.1 or just us MSDOS 6.22 xP lots of floppy disks hehe
so i assume its the same with the floppys.... put in and boot....
am i able to format the HDD if i install from floppys? like wipe and then fresh install?
would i install dos first then win 3.1?
also is there any usb support in win 3.1 or dos? and the gfx card should function ok yea?
hehe any imput would be greatly appreciated as this is very urgent
