ThinkTank on the PC w/DOS

Sun, 16 Nov 2025 06:58:24 +0000

Obsession takes many forms. Some of us sift through decades of ancient software for a blog, while others spend decades reinventing the same software repeatedly. Outliner software seems to attract the latter, but can this genre win over the former?

Tripos, the Roots of AmigaDOS – pagetable.com

Fri, 20 Dec 2024 00:13:07 +0000

The core of the Amiga Operating systems consists of the three major components Exec (scheduling, memory management, IPC), Intuition (GUI library) and AmigaDOS (process and file management). AmigaDOS is based on the Tripos operating system which Commodore bought because development of their own DOS subsystem failed to meet deadlines. In this article, I am presenting searchable PDFs of the very rare Tripos manuals (638 pages) as well as the AmigaDOS manual (304 pages). Comparing the two documents will share some insight in the relationship between Tripos and Amiga OS.

Renegade BBS in Ubuntu Linux - Telnet|Multi-Node

Sat, 22 Nov 2014 17:35:04 +0000

There are many open source BBS resources out there for Linux, but I came up short in finding anything even remotely mentioning renegade and Linux in the same sentence. This left me feeling nostalgically challenged so I set out to find a way to run a telnet multi-node Renegade BBS from my Ubuntu system. In this instructable, I will show you how I achieved this and hopefully inspire some much needed creative improvements as well.

Rubénerd: Using QEMU for DOS on *nix

Thu, 20 Nov 2014 18:13:00 +0000

While DOSBox is a great piece of kit, sometimes you may have more speciailised DOS needs that require the use of a VM. In my case, I use QEMU and so far things are working great.

"If you’re like me—a nostalgic 90s gamer—then you’ve probably looked at the ever-expanding catalog at Good Old Games with some envy. There they all are again, the classics! Betrayal at Krondor!
