Chilling with a retro ThinkPad and some floppy disks

nice

you don't need dosbox, that laptop has actual dos installed natively

Also when you first plug a floppy drive in make sure no disk is in there. It may ruin the disk. Something like that happened to a disk with a USB floppy drive and there is no way to recover it that I can find. Lucky for me it was just a file on it I could easily replace. I could not format the disk either. I am not sure what happened to it but it simply would not be a usable disk any more.

nice video and a very nice thinkpad
i call a thinkpad 570e my own
i highly suggest to get some pcmcia cards e.g. usb 2.0 and lan
it makes things a lot more easy

My second laptop, allow to use this for/in school as i had terrible hand writing

Yeah, I used thinkpads in the mid-late 90s for work, Pentium and PII models and you should just use the built in ethernet port and connect to your network and copy the files. If your laptop is so old you don't have ethernet, just use a null modem serial cable and copy from another pc(although I'm guessing your new pc doesn't have serial). We also used pcmcia wifi cards in these. I had some of the first 802.11a and b cards that should work fine in those laptops.

Just come across your channel. I love grassroot channels like yours. Hope your creative writing is going well.
