Aw hell yeah. With the next season presumably lacking that Corporate aspect of the shows themes, this could work pretty nicely

Aw its cute! I really like the longer pupils, one of my Faivourite kemono details!
Yeah I'm getting a different SD card tomorrow. One thats notably not an HC SD card, which someone noted to probably be not compatible with the adapter.
No there wasn't any documentation that was delivered with it sadly. Though seeing that in the tutorial it showed much of the same text on Boot up, i think its safe to asume the card itself works fine. Someone else in the thread mentioned that it might not work because its an HC SD card, which probably can't be read by the adapter, so tomorrow im buying a normal SD card to try it tho
I see, in that case I'll go to the store tomorrow and see if they got a tiny non HC SD card! Thank you!
Just got around to taking some screenshots.
First I press the "Flash from File" button and choose the DOS6.22 Ultimate .img
Then I select the Target, which is the SD Card
Then Lastly I press the Flash button and it does its thing
All ending without error on this screen
This is what the finished thing then looks like
Then I'd usually move onto the Partition Wizard.
Something odd I just noticed is that even after all the flashing and stuff, the card retains its original thumbnail saying "SD HC", would've thought that be gone by now, could that be an issue?
I'll do once im home in around 7 hours! In the mean time, I can definetly say that what the Video shows is 1 to 1 the same thing I saw while working with both programs and I followed them to the Pixel if that helps
As far as I can see, the only one of these relevant to my XT Based PC-10 III would be the classic version which reads
For classic hardware: FreeDOS 1.3 includes a floppy-only edition! This edition should run on any original IBM PC system, including the PC, XT, and AT. Provides versions for 720kB, 1.2MB, and 1.44MB floppy disks.
Since it says its a floppy version, I'd asume I'd have to burn it onto a floppy and then install it? Or can I burn it onto the SD and then somehow boot it into the installer directly?
I did try to see if leaving the partitioning part out changes anything, and still nothing. Same thing as before. Also tried not changing sizes, same thing sadly.
As for the other 2 points, im afraid that I don't have the knowhow yet as to how to check those...

Trying to get DOS 6.22 on an SD Card, to then run via an ISA IDE to SD Adapter on my Commodore PC-10 III, but It doesn't wanna boot. What am I doing wrong?
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
I have been following the exact steps as outlined in this tutorial video, with no oddities happening along the way: https://youtu.be/twQbHWJF7LA
Well, I was able to follow it up and until we got to the Partitioning part, where he says to load DOS up in the machine, presumably meaning the PC-10 in this case.
The PC-10 loads the ISA IDE to SD Adapter just fine, it even tried to look for Drive C (The SD Card) for like 10-15 seconds, until giving up then and there (as seen in the pic).
(ISA IDE to SD card Adapter i got:) 
In other words it seems that the Adapter either doesn't recognise what is on the Card and I've done something wrong in burning the provided image onto it or formating, or it doesn't recognise the card itself to begin with. Its a Brand new 32GB SanDisk SD so that be pretty suprising...
In other words... im out of ideas... i tried different DIP switch configurations and all, but no change. Perhaps the PC-10 III Simply doesnt like the Adapter... or can't run 6.22... im just out of ideas and frustrated. I've had this thing for over a month now with no luck in seeing it run once properly, and original 5,25" DOS Bootdisks are expensive and take a while to arrive. Should I just bite the bullet and go for one? I don't know. Any advice is much appreciated...

Too much Ruletics on here recently, yet ya all still haven't realized the truth
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
So I got this Commodore PC-10 III, which the sellers photos clearly showed a different one without that red button at the front and a small Floppy Drive. It also cost me around 200€
On the other hand, from the Inside it seems to have a VGA Graphics card, a Hard Drive and even some type of Internet connector which are all nonstandart
So for one im quite split on if I should keep it or ask for a refund. But lets asume I keep it, there is another big problem.
For one the lacking Floppy drive was something I really really wanted and would need to build a new one in so I can even do things with it. On the other, much bigger hand, it doesnt seem to work.
Upon booting it up, it first shows some DOS text and then this red screen shows up (sorry about the flash)
After a bit, it then tries to check the RAM which after a bit returns a "Bad Ram" error.
Then it prompts me to press the F1 Key which I do on my Commodore Keyboard which results in the text repeating itself and not continuing.
In other words, I cannot get past this screen. Pressing any key repeats that Message and the space bar plays a sound for some reason. The best thing I can try is to unplug everything and see if it boots then. If not, I'll inspect the board, especially the RAM Chips... but with not much knowhow this'll be a bit hard...
But yeah, what you all think? Keep it? refund it? Try to get it to run again? Any tips when it comes to that?
Ever since I've gotten into Retro Computing, I've been confronted about things like soldering, Circuits and Electrics in general... and it has made me want to try experimenting with my own ideas!
That does however mean that im still pretty inexperienced and thusly don't have anything to actually experiment with either.
So what kind of Breadboard Kit will give me the best and most things to start getting into this Hobby?
Trying out my new Windows 98 Gaming PC and the King has returned!
I've gotten really interested in old Computers since I got my Commodore PET 2 months ago, so to play some good ol MS Train Simulator and Stronghold 2, I got this massive beauty. Here is a little size comparison between it and my main PC
