MOAR OLD SOFTWAREZ

I regret to have to inform you of the untimely and most inconvenient passing of the PS/2 and VGA connector cable of the Pocket 386.
Send thoughts and prayers.

Fedi Help, Fedi Help, Fedi Help!
Does anyone know how to connect an ISA-16 expansion board to the #Pocket386 ? I have the expansion board for the ISA-8 port (same one as for the Book 8088) but no 8 bit cards....
Any hints appreciated! Please be so kind to boost!
Thx!

Today I found out:
My eeePC running #FreeDOS works much better than the #Pocket386. Must have something to do with 2G of memory vs 8M.
And 15x faster CPU. -
What sound hardware should I buy for my #Pocket386 ? I have an adapter for "normal" ISA cards. Currently sound in most games doesn't work.
Any recommendations would be appreciated. Please boost, if you feel so inclined.
Options I know about:
* PicoGUS
* used SB compatible sound card
* ??? -
Attention Retro Gamers,
I have attempted to play "Prisoner of Ice" on my Pocket 386.
First problem: No Sound. This could be fixed by buying a PicoGUS.
Second problem: Game loops forever, displaying the intro. Game specs at:
https://www.mobygames.com/game/376/prisoner-of-ice/specs/
say 486DX, but I only have a 386SX. The intro animations are not choppy. Maybe the lack of a FP coprocessor?Has anyone tried this? Please share, TIA.

Medley 2.0 for DOS on #Pocket386.
Don't expect to able to do much with it, though. -
A lone red tetrahedron on a dark blue background. Left: C-Program using OpenGL 3.3 (340 loc), Right: PC-Scheme using BGI Graphics on #Pocket386 (~75 loc + ~140 loc matrix lib).
OK, I cheated for #2. I sorted the faces by depth by hand.
(EDIT: corrected LOC count for PC Scheme)

Is that thing a clone or the real one, just with a clear case?

Recordings from #openalt 2024 have already been published. You can also watch my talk (in Czech) about the Pocket 386 retro laptop 😉 It was, as always, fun to be there! #pocket386 @freedosproject

I prepared an article for Root.cz about Pocket 386 retro laptop (and running FreeDOS on it) I recently bought. The article is written in Czech (I am considering also English version, well... maybe). @freedosproject #pocket386 #freedos

What is a reliable seller of the #Pocket386 on AliExpress?
I would say the store that's linked from 8086cpu.com but they don't have it listed (anymore?)
