The Toshiba Tecra uses Realtec AC97 Drivers and install with some pushing and shoving. The AC97 drivers work with reactOS under VBox and allow for basic media playback. I did try to get ROS running on a little Toshiba with Intel Atom, but could only get a desktop from 1 in every 20 boot attempts, so i gave up and draged the Tecra out of the box and dusted it off.Īnyhows I have a working 'Real' Machine as old as it is, to try testing some possibilities with and was wondering how I can get involved in a helpful way with ReactOS and also a little bit of a 'Help Kick-start'.

Had to start with a a VirtualBox image and Grub) In the last few days I managed to get ReactOS up and running on an old Toshiba Tecra A3 (Manual Install, install disk can't see the sata drive.

That was 3 weeks ago, I have now tested about 2000 software packages and stand alone apps on ROS, and have about 250 working with minor glitches, and about 180 without any issues.

I then decided to see if a few software packages would run on the system and was pleasantly surprised. I have watched the ReactOS project for some time now, but unfortunately have not had any success in booting it until recently.įinally I have had the opportunity to see ReactOS working on VirtualBox and was impressed with how far it has come =)
