Title File Size Graphics Sound Cracked? Boots? Runs on: Comments Extras
Boot_B (dir) all Modifies the boot sector of a blank disk in drive A: to transfer the booting process to drive B:. Use this to boot a bootable diskette from the B: drive.
CopyIIPC Collection 156 KB 8086,286,386 Disk duplication program; mostly used for making backups of copy-protected disks back in the good old days when disks were still copy-protected. This archive contains several versions, including 3.07, 4.0, and 5.01, (that work with SnatchIt) and 6.0 (the last version ever released).
DOS 3.3 (various versions) (dir) y MSDOS and PCDOS 3.3, for running those old games. Includes BASIC and BASICA for an IBM and GWBASIC for compatibles.
FastLynx 157 KB An excellent DOS file transfer utility, better than LapLink IMO. Use this to transfer files from one PC to another over a standard null-modem cable.
Joystick Tuner 8 KB all This is a neat little joystick tuning program that I found bundled with LHX Attack Chopper... It is much more accurate (and demanding) than other joystick calibration programs.
LapLink 3 79 KB A popular DOS file transfer utility; use a serial or parallel cable to move files across PCs
Mo'Slo (dir) 286+ Slowdown utility; slows your machine down to as close to 4.77 MHz as possible. Can't slow down enough on Pentiums, however; also, on 486+, slowdown gets more and more jerky.
PKZIP v. 2.04g 197 KB all The most widely used compression program in the world. Most archive files on this site are in .zip format.
Slow486 (dir) 486+ Slowdown utility; disables the L1 cache on a 486 and Pentium for a significant and smooth slowdown. Locks up some Pentiums and non-Intel CPUs.
Teledisk File Checker 13 KB all Use this to verify the integrity of a *.td0 file (teledisk image) if you suspect it was damaged in transport
Teledisk 85 KB all Program that copies an entire diskette to a file, and vice-versa. Most bootable disks on this archive are in Teledisk format (*.td0), and were copied from the original program disks. Teledisk can also attempt to copy a 5.25" image to a 3.5" diskette, for those without 5.25" drives.
