Re: What a suuurrrrprise!
Maybe you mean Windows 3.11? No DOS 3.11 ever existed. And I doubt that, because DOS 6.x only supported FAT16 with 2 GB partitions. He would have had to split that into 10 partitions and I'm not sure the hassle of setting up a player to shuffle with that is worth it. |

| That's it, Operagost, it was either DOS 6.1 or 6.2. I don't remember if that kit came with a software cd or not, it probably was not a 20 gig HDD, maybe an old 5-10 gig instead?
The tower didn't have a mouse, nor did it have a cd-ROM. The HDD would get pulled and then slaved to his work computer to load up mp3's. This was way back when Napster first started. The PC repair shop did have a cable connection  It was faster than dial up, yet slow compared to today's BB speed.
IF, I recall correctly win 98, was becoming the main OS. The shops server might have been NT.
I have been wanting to use an old PC, I have stuffed into my storage shed to build a mp3 player like that. Google should turn up something.

Actually, there was a DOS 3.11, but that's irrelevant to this thread. |
