A genuine DOS Computer to create floppy Boot Disk

In these days i have had the necessity of a computer with the DOS operating system to create Boot Disk with the ImageDisk program, so i decided to retrieve my old Olidata P133 and install FreeDOS.

I have installed:

  • 3COM 3C905 PCI Ethernet Card.
  • TCP/IP Stack via 3COM 3C905 Packet Driver.
  • Amstrad 1640 5 1/4 Floppy Drive (I had to change a jumper, see photos)
  • Upgraded SIMM Ram (100 Mb)
  • DOS Driver for Crystal 4232 Sound Card (SoundBlaster Compatible)
  • A small fan for the cpu.
  • Some Games and Utility.
