I looked in

- what about 14.0.5?


Hi Thierry,
I don't have your hw details, but I have debian trixie + TDE testing installed on an old 2011 laptop and it works without any issue. Maybe you should give a recent debian another try before aiming for older versions? I understand your computer won't be connected to the internet, but Debian is a rock solid distro and I am surprise you would not be able to install it on an old computer, as long as the architecture of your computer is still supported (I assume it is 386?)

Access to devices is controlled by the linux kernel, it has nothing to do with TDE or any DE for that matters. User programs simply don't have direct access to any physical device in linux, it all happens through kernel system calls and the kernel is the solely responsible piece of code for reading/writing to any device.

Cheers
  Michele
