Thats likely MS BASICA on that machine. If it has a HD, type in Basic or basica at the dos prompt. If you get anything, thats the interpreter - thats were you run basic from. BASIC doesn't really compile on those machines. It runs in script mode and you load it into ram (IIRC).

Thats a true museum piece. If it dies, save the case - its a great modding oppertunity.

Commodore's computers (the C64, VIC20, etc.) had a BASIC interpreter on a ROM chip. Those things were great. :)

Gamer ... there are many different kinds of BASIC .. all of which suck. :P

Then you will have to find it. Try looking for BASICA online - load it to floppy (assuming it had one) and type:

BASICA A:

of maybe its A: BASICA

not sure

There should be instructions online.

You might want to do a search for qbasic.

You should just program in Python and get off this Basic kick.

If you don't mind appearing like an idiot, we don't point mind pointing and laughing. :lol:

Seriously ... if you want anyone to respect your posts, you need to take the time to make them legible, if not error-free.

It belongs in a museum.

Preferably under lock and key where it can't infect anyone!

QBASIC brings back memory, actually nightmares lol. It was the first programming language I ever learned. I took my 2nd semester in college. That would be Spring '96 lol.

It was a terrible language to learn now that I look back on it. Out final was to write any type of game we wanted. I wrote a geography trivia game lol.

PS: It shouldn't make you feel better,

Just to clairfy things, I thought it was 4.77 Mega Hertz with the Intel 8088?
http://inventors.about.com/library/weekly/aa031599.htm

"The first IBM PC ran on a 4.77 MHz Intel 8088 microprocessor. The PC came
equipped with 16 kilobytes of memory, expandable to 256k. ... "

I had one of these babies. My dad bought a 20Meg (It was a lot at the time) internal hard drive for it. I programmed (scripted) LPMud with it. I even ran a BBS for while on that thing. Ran blazingly fast with my 1200 baud connection.
