One question:
Could you tell me which version of COMPAQ DIAGNOSTICS you used to get screen shot #2 ("The Compaq (R) Personal Computer Diagnostics")?
I tried "SETUP/DIAGNOSTICS Version 8.00 DP256" 720K (3.5 Inch floppy) from Softpaq sp0308;
however setup.exe throws an error message in funny english ("SETUP not applicable for this type machine").
inspect works, but the inspection screen looks different from yours in screenshot #2.
The sp0308.txt file states that Version 8.00 DP256 is compatible with COMPAQ LTE, though...
Thanks, Frank

Thank you for explaining this.dns2kv2 wrote: ↑Thu 17 May, 2018 2:05 pm it's just a simple generic patch to see if Compaq LTE can run with a minimum code in PCem.
its hard to write a complete patch for a whole single machine, especially from scratch.
