Is #ELKS (8086 linux) still a thing? Would the #book8088 be a good machine for it?
I suspect the #XTCF BIOS wants a DOS4 style partition table so i dunno if the old 8086 UNIXes (#coherent, #xenix, #minix) would cooperate.
Then there's the whole issue of installing such a thing on a machine that doesn't support floppy drives... 😝
Ok That's new and not really good...
#XTGold (1.4) sees but doesn't understand long filename directory entries. This messes up xtgold's free space calculations and might have other worse effects...
So, if writing your xt-cf cfcard from linux or other LFN aware OS, be careful!
Finally got my Tandy 1000sx running again!
Bye-bye ST01 scsi controller hello XTCF!
Cute little 256M cf card, with a 32M partition and a 213M partition. (guess who didn't have any DOS5 boot disks and had to first get dos 3.3 booting off cf and then upgrade :)
Since xtcf wants to be at io address 0x300, I'm going to need to reconfigure the NE1000 ethernet card.
