    I have one of those extension cables and have nothing but trouble with it, due to the two pieces of circuit board stuck into one end to make a male connector. The slightest jostle and it stops working, and is super fiddely to get working again. It wasn't cheap with shipping to Canada, either.

    I have 5 ti-99/4a's (all black and silver) which work fine. In fact, all of my Texas Instruments hardware (cartridges, speech synthesizers, PEB, etc) except for 1 cartridge still work. The other 80's computers I have are a TRS-80 Model 100, Apple IIc, and Macintosh SE and they all work perfectly.

     

    In my experience 1990's computers are much less reliable than 80's machines/

    With my HP t5510 thin client, I used a usb hard drive with a 1 gb fat partition to transfer data. Loads up in dos no problem. That and a usb floppy drive. I haven't tried my usb cd rom drive yet. Flash pen drives don't work though. I've used both a 2 gb disk on module and a 44 pin laptop hard drive as the main drive for it. I've set it up with dos 6.1 and Windows 3.1, dos 7 and Windows 3.1 , and Windows 98, no problems except getting it to run in svga in dos/win 3.1. Win 3.1 doesn't like usb floppy drives, but no problem with dos.

    I am going to try converting an old thin client to a dos computer again. My last attempt was an HP T5510. I got dos and win 3.1 running on it no problem, but I couldn't get it to run in svga, and of course no sound blaster, just the built in speaker. This time I'm going to use a Neoware CA2, which has one expansion slot which will take an ISA or a PCI card, and the video is S3 Savage. My plan is to use an ISA sound blaster 16 card and replace the Disk on Module with a 44 pin 2.5" hard drive.
