KOJRO Retro innovations | Door nr 17, DosCember Christmas Calendar @kojroRI | Uploaded December 2021 | Updated October 2024, 11 minutes ago.
In celebration of all things MS DOS there is the campaign under the moniker Doscember where a lot of youtubers presents some of their more nostalgic moments from the Dos area of computing. I posted my first video last year in December, and my way of celebrating this is by launching an attempt to make a full 24-episode Christmas or Advent calendar, at this time this will be a long stretch as I have only filmed the first seven episodes, and December is quite the busy period at work, and I will also go away on holidays sometime before the 24’th. My plan is to present a new system for you each day, but some videos might be so long that they will span two days on one system. When it came to IBM Clones in the early days we cant avoid mentionig Compaq. I Norway they had less imact on the marked as IBM was kind of late at entering the Norwegian marked, som when they did there already was a lot of clones available. But in the US they almost was as important at setting the standards as IBM was. This was proven when they was the first ever to launch a 386 PC. But this time we look at their first attempt, and kind of the product that made them as a company. This time we take a good look at the Compaq Portable Plus, that was a minor upgrade from the originale and was lonched short after the original when Compaq discovered that their dealers was making money on fitting Hard drives in the Portable. #DosCember #DosCember2021 #RetroPC
