Which new laptops support qnx4

Any suggestions on which of the new laptops support qnx4. I just bought
a Toshiba Satellite with 17: screen, transfered my hard drive, and tried
to boot qnx4…no joy.

You might try using the “old style boot loader”.

Try “dinit -hbO /hd” after QNX is installed.

The “old” is the one that has “progress indicator” as the rotating thingy,

rather than the string of dots?

Interesting side note… I have windows 98 and windows 2000 also on this
harddrive and the boot loader can’t seem to find the os’s when selected
using the new machine, but qnx seems to boot okay.

Yes, thats the one.

On many newer machines, I have found the “new” QNX doesn’t work, but the old
one does.

One caveat, however, is that the “old” loader most definately won’t load
images > OR EQUAL to 512k in size, whereas the “new” loader seems to not be
as strict.

Go figure…

Jeff.

:frowning:

With all the new versions of Proc32 and Fsys.atapi in place I get the
image around 530kB.

I wish QSSL would look into this…

Remove Slib16 from your boot file, it will be shorter…
If you need Slib16, just start it in your sysinit

Tryed this before - vedit (and probably some other legasy soft) depends on
it…

Thanks for the hint, I did not know this is possible!
