Re: DOS/Windows 3.11 (WFW) CDROM Sound Issues

Posted on 2023-09-19, 03:13

in DOS
I installed Willow Pond Media Rack from Internet Archive. It is not seeing a system mixer ... Apologies if you've already checked this, but sometimes when I've had audio issues, the problem is that the mixer channel in question was muted or set to a volume of zero (I think those are two separate …

Re: PC 3270 (aka IBM 5271) emulation

Posted on 2023-09-16, 01:04

in PC Emulation
It is my first post here and I would like to know is there a way to emulate PC 3270 (aka IBM 5271)? Welcome! I don't know anything about this, but I had a quick look at the MAME sources and there are some comments in src/mame/pc/ibmpc.cpp about this machine. I didn't get the impression it was …

in DOS
It would be cool to know what's going on with version 1 though, but I was unable to disassemble that - looks like both IDA and Reko at least get confused by the executable. (maybe due to an EXE compressor?) If you want to keep investigating, I'd try using UNP from https://bencastricum.nl/unp/ to …

Re: 286 Laptop - What Are You Putting On It?

Posted on 2023-08-31, 11:58

The only thing I remember doing on a 286 laptop was playing Castle Adventure . Perhaps it wasn't the most modern game at the time, but there were plenty of games designed for machines slower than a 286! PS: Please becareful with the internal battery. If it's deeply discharged, it may never recover. …

Also, the external enclosures for SCSI disks are $$$ these days. I got one fairly recently for $50 but I think I was pretty lucky, and that had a card reader in it rather than a disk. I imagine it would have cost a lot more if it contained a working hard drive and/or was the type that looks nice …

I was searching online for information about Basilisk II SCSI passthrough and ran across a link to Cockatrice III which is a fork of an old version of Basilisk II by neozeed . Apparently it (like some old versions of Basilisk II) SCSI emulation, so you can just attach a disk image to it directly …

I'd be inclined to try this, although I don't know for sure that it would work, and it's a lot more difficult (but that equates to fun, right?): 1. Purchase SCSI2SD or similar. I can't say how good any of those sorts of devices are as I don't have any. It'd probably be good to look around for advice …

Re: vanilla Quake and VQuake Blaster environment variable

in DOS
I think what jakethompson1 was saying was that if you find the correct set of drivers - which might be described as being for both DOS and Windows - that should include it, not that you're likely to find a separate DOS emulation driver. I would imagine that the DOS emulation driver would be …

Re: Temp sensor connected to a joystick port project

in Milliways
It has a return range from 1 to 200, according to some sources. I need to check that next time I'm on my vintage PC. 😅 That's what the QuickBASIC 4.5 online help says. Some old IBM BASIC manual I looked at just says "The range of values for x and y depends on your particular joysticks." which I …

Re: Python for Windows 3.1

Posted on 2023-08-03, 09:35

so python does work for win 3.1? or rather did and hence still could :) Yeah, I'm pretty sure I ran some of these versions a year or two ago! Is this topic a search for the newest Python version installer, that runs on Win3.xx? What's the main idea? I just wanted to share some information, but it …

Re: Frame limiter for Windows 2000 VMware

Posted on 2023-08-01, 11:56

in PC Emulation
In VirtualBox you can set an "execution cap" which limits how much host CPU time is used emulating the virtual CPU. It's not very precise like a frame limiter, and if you later got a faster CPU you'd have to adjust it, but perhaps it could still help. I'm not sure if there is something similar in …

Re: WinGPT, AI chat bot for Windows 3.1

ok, I temporarily "mounted" an external WD 500GB laptop hard drive in DOS 6.22 via USB. Laptop hard drives have the property of switching off early to save power. Ahh, that makes sense :D I had a WD hard drive once where I turned off the sleeping using some utility I got from WD, but I imagine that …
