weirdr.net is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.

This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.

    MS DOS 3.31 fans (specifically the Compaq OEM version) I have failed you! NetDrive should support FAT16B on that version of DOS but I had a "fixme" comment in the code to actually implement it. I have made amends ...

    (Compaq MS DOS 3.31 was the first version of DOS to support FAT16B. They broke the 32MB drive letter barrier with it.)

    Just another 5 or 6 lines of assembler code did the trick. I'm kicking myself for not doing it earlier.

      ZuluSCSI and BlueSCSI users who have DOS machines - I have an updated packet driver for you! Some variants of those devices have support for the DaynaPORT SCSI Ethernet adapter, and if you have the radio module you can use it for DOS networking. This version is a major rewrite of the original from Retrotech Chris.

      I still need to get my hands on a real DaynaPORT device to see how well it works with this code.

        player UI shootout! An AMD Am5x86 at 120MHz with a Gravis Ultrasound PnP playing back a VBR (~254Kbps) 44.1KHz MP3 file at full quality.

        The contenders: QuickView Pro version (dvpro), Digital Sound System 3.1 (dss) and MPXPlay 1.67 (mpx). The file: Astral Projection's "Bizarre Contact" from the album "Ten".

        Enjoy these clips :D


        Alt...QuickView Pro: file listing in the background and a simple status dialog in the foreground showing file information and the playback time.

        Alt...MPXPlay: File/directory browser below (mostly removed from the video), spectrum analyzer and various playback information on top.

        Alt...DSS: VU meters for left/right and playback information along with a lot of information about the file and the sound device.

        Alt...DSS: Spectrum analyzer, plus technical information as in the other video.

          The latest mTCP for DOS is available!

          This version includes some changes to improve TCP reliability on long running (but idle) connections, black & white Sixel graphics in Telnet, a Telnet emulation bug fix, and other small fixes sprinkled around.

          The source code to NetDrive (network attached storage) is also published now - enjoy reading an unholy mix of x86 assembly code talking to Golang over UDP!

          Spread the word! Friends don't let friends run old code ...
