Re: [Patch] Compaq LTE

Post by Tux »

I successfully applied this patch, thanks :-)

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

Didn't the Compaq LTE use a blueish grayscale CGA display with 4 shades of gray? The Compaq LTE 286 did use a grayscale VGA display with 16 shades of gray also. It's been mentioned a lot everywhere. :p

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.
