I have been using PCem since 2014 (Pcem v8.0) and I am now using PCem v12.
I never used PCem 0.5 before.
I downloaded PCem0.5 and followed your instructions. I configured GENXT for 8086 16 MHz
and Windows 1.0 DR5 installed ok.
It is not very usable in GenXT. It was difficult to just move the mouse arrow (stuttered badly).
I copied the bios files for IBMAT and tried to configure, but I could not get the IBMAT
setup in PCem0.5.
So I copied the hdc.img from PCem0.5 to PCem12, where I did have IBM AT (8 MHz) configured.
What a difference. The mouse moved smoothly and I tried a couple games.
Puzzle.exe played well.
Reversi.exe also played well
That's all I tried. Not hard to see why Windows 1 was not very popular.
PCem0.5 is notable for me in that GENXT configures and boots from A: or C: (although it would not boot KQ1 self-booter).
I have never been able to get GENXT (or IBMXT) to boot from C: in PCem12.
Good reason to keep several versions available.
I followed your instructions and it installed OK.
The mouse is smooth, though.
can i have the vmdk file cause dos 2.11 does not wanna work for me :(
Link Doesn't work
The link doesn't exist anymore.
The installation instructions for PCem are here on the Windows 1.0 DR 5 page.
