LOL,

Even on Win10 machines I use Multi Commander and I still have license for Total Commander (Use it since my Amiga days)

Zip bunch of folders, rename and change extension all at once - very easy with this helpful tools.

Total commander for windows works well on Win95 computer if you need to work with files.

Check 5th screen on this topic...

Yes, some of those tasks are hampered by Windows poor interface and even poorer file explorer. I often need to use other programs such as Fast File Renamer to gets things done. I would entirely replace the explorer, but to be honest I don't like the interface of the usual replacements.

I think I am more prone still to use them because they remind me of Dir(ectory)Opus on Amiga.



On DOS Norton Commander was tool of choice.

As for DOS version of LaunchBox, I wonder if Jason will add other emulator support, turning it into great tool for emulation on my old PC, that is currently boxed in garage due to pcem and other emulators. With last move I got rid of Pentium 100, but still have bunch of old laptops, 2 x P2 - 450Mhz end bunch of newer computers.

Yes, a lot of those Windows Explorer clones retain the double screen interface of Norton Commander or DOPUS. I can easily see how nostalgia plays a part in that.

I don't personally keep old hardware around... I was happy to get rid of my old Amstrad CPC, my Game Boy and my previous PCs. There's something cool about being able to run everything from my harddrive, even with emulation glitches and all. I do understand the people who prefer the real thing, though. Nothing wrong with a garage full of working old machines.

Sometimes you'd be happy to keep the old real thing ones, like for example you'll most certainly have some troubles running Knights of the Old Republic I on a Windows 10 machine, and most certainly won't get to run KotOR II at all.
Makes me happy I still have my old single-core Dell XPS M170 laptop, one of the last powerful gaming single-cores from back in the day which could run Doom III without a hitch. With Windows XP, both those games above run like a charm. Same goes for Baldur's Gate / Baldur's Gate II ToB. Overall Windows 10 stinks, but what can you do, time goes on...

Back to OP post - were you able to setup hard disk for Tandy 1000? What do you select for sound, as there is no Tandy sound option for sound card?!

From what I know, there were 10-20 MB original HD sold with it, and later bit larger.

I set up a 20 Mb. harddrive. It may or may not have worked on a real machine, but PCem has something called PcemHD, a virtual controller that helps with older computer models and harddrives.

As for the sound, I left both entries blank. PCem does emulate the tree channel speaker from the PCjr. / Tandy 1000 computers IIRC. I'm not so sure about the Tandy DAC of later models.
