I was originally with i386DX/16-CGA. Made it work with i386DX/20-Hercules.

From COMPAQ Diagnostics 5.08, I start SETUP 5.05:
Default type is 42:
I change it to 17:
After reboot, two beeps (which means the POST has completed) but a black screen:

Hello, The Compaq Deskpro 386 could have a hard drive of 40 MB (Type 17). I have created the file with Type 17 and chosen [MFM] AT Fixed Disk Adapter as HDD: 17.png When I boot I get this message: Diagnostic.png I type F1, boot Compaq DOS 3.10 from diskette and type fdisk c: fdisk.png I get the mess...

Yes that was it, thanks everyone

I had no idea another rom was needed. Trying to be faithful, I have added the Xebec rom in the roms folder but still:

Hello, I would like to add a hard drive to an IBM PC XT. I have configured PCem the following way: Configure PCem.png What is weird is that for HDD only None can be selected. Under DOS, I get "Invalid drive specification": Invalid drive specification.png Any idea what I do wrong? Thanks

If you do not have mda.rom, you can redownload v16 zip, it was missing in early zip.

Hello,

Thanks I had not thought about renaming files.

I have not been able to progress much further though

Hello, I am trying to boot MINIX 1.1 on IBM XT with PCEm V16. I have configured both floppies to be 360K. During the POST, I do a Disc > Change drive A:... and select the first file: Intel-1.1\floppy_disk1 but the PC boots Cassette BASIC as if the floppy was not recognized. Maybe the file is not in ...

Sound the heads make on the platters as well as leds present on the facade would be cool too

I can now boot to Cassette BASIC. I was using BIOS_5160_08NOV82_U19_5000027.BIN (8 KB) instead of BIOS_5160_08NOV82_U19_5000027_27256.BIN (32 KB, like you). From minuszerodegrees.net: +---------------------------------+ | FILES | +---------------------------------+ File BIOS_5160_08NOV82_U18_1501512...

I use CGA yes, here are the MD5 for both files:

1a2ac1ae0fe0f7783197e78da8b3126c *1501512.u18
69e2bd1d08c893cbf841607c8749d5bd *5000027.u19

I have tried 360 and 720 but I get a black screen after the POST.

Ok I have set FDD1 and FDD2 to None but I get a 601 after the POST.

When you have no floppy nor HD it boots there like the real machine

I confirm the issue is fixed by re-downloading the new version of the V16 zip file.

Thank you

Thanks for the suggestion.

From scratch, unzipped PCemV15Win.zip, copied pcxt.rom to PCemV15Win\roms\genxt, default values, something on the screen
From scratch, unzipped PCemV16Win.zip, copied pcxt.rom to PCemV16Win\roms\genxt, default values, black screen

Defaults were already set to:

Machine: 8088 at 4,77 MHZ
Memory: 640 KB
Graphics: CGA
Speed: Default
No HDD

I have changed the floppies from the default:

FDD1: 3.5" 2.88M
FDD2: 3.5" 2.88M

to

FDD1: 5.25" 360k
FDD2: 5.25" 360k

But still the same black screen.
