SS7 boards typically come with 2-3 ISA slots - if you have the choice of an ISA sound card I would get one. The Audician32 or AWE64 are the best ISA sound cards for Win98 in my experience. The Vortex2 is a good choice though if you only have PCI slots. I do indeed have ISA slots but AWE64 prices …

Hi all I am looking at a Aureal Vortex 2 for $48.00 at the moment .. would this be a good choice/price ? mainly looking for maximum quality in WIndows 98, but DOS mode not being total crap would be a bonus..

Used a tiny FTP server app from the App Store called QuickFTP and FileZilla on the WIn98 machine. This combination seems to work very well and is super simple to get running.

HI all, Trying to share a folder on a 98SE machine to my OSX machine (10.14), seems that OSX now no longer supports the old ass version of SMB on 98, anyone have any fixes/workarounds or other solutions to this ?

I may have the option of returning the Socket A "bundle" and getting ether of these.. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/253921133559 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/163822656568 My literal OCD is kicking in quite a bit with wanting to have the components for this Voodoo build "match".

Sanity check, Got the Voodoo 3 2000 today, plunged in and 2d output works fine and drivers install fine (using Amigasport 3.0 as they seem recommended from googling) Bit worried about the temp of the card/chip tho, the back of the PCB where the chip is is pretty toasty even at idle at windows …

I think my issues were to do with the way the Finder burns ISO's in newer/current versions of OSX. Seems like it is broken in some way ? Using a 3rd party burning Application has solved the issue it seems.

The only hitch you might run into with that MSI board is power supply selection; I don't see an extra 12V ATX connector so it probably draws heavily from the 5V rail. Make sure whichever one you use can supply a good 20~25A on the 5V. Oh I have the PSU side of things well taken care of, I found my …

Athlon XP probably has 4x AGP/1.5v so the Voodoo 3 won't work anyway (and may cook something)... The board I have has Universal AGP, so 3.3 is supported. That is not the issue .. Not all universal agp supports 3.3v. Many just have overload protection and that's it, some not even that. Personally I …

The Voodoo 3 that is on the way is I fear "to old" for for this Socket A setup I just got in the post today. it will work as the mobo I have is Universal 3.3V AGP .. butttttttt the performance scaling is gonna be all out of whack right ? And I am stuck as to get a …

So I have today gotten a Socket A board, 1.5GB Ram and a Althon 1900+(!.5Ghz) CPU which I got for £20 all in. I have a Voodoo 3 2000 on the way, but looking things over I have some doubts about this setup.. It would seem I screwed up with the "timing" of things .. the V3 came out in 1999, and my " …

I have been told that the issues im having may also be to do with using the wrong bios setup utility, namely the Configuration error I get on boot up even though I have used GSETUP to set the right values. So I am a bit confused as to what to do, if i got a replacement battery and the above is …

I thought maybe I could get away with the CMOS battery being dead for a while. Seems that is not the case. Trying to find a replacement is proving difficult though as its a Varta 3/60DK, but the only battery's with that model number are 3 pin but mine is a 2 pin ?

Changed to a old 125MB Drive and have the same problem. Booting the DR DOS installer goes fine, formatting/partitioning and installing goes fine. But the system just will not boot from the hard drive at all.

Hi all I have a Hard Drive with Ontrack installed successfully, but with no floppy disk in the drive the system is not even attempting to boot from the hard disk at all it would seem ? So, am i missing something here ? This may be related to the motherboard having a dead CMOS ?
