Re: Conventional memory problem

Posted on 2012-04-11, 23:09

in DOS
Nope only with it. I want to use built in drivers to be as compatible as possible. On my other PC using the highscan option gives me a lot more memory. Is there some way to find out what areas of memory are reserved so I can manually exclude them and include all others?

I bought an old Dell PII 266 fitted it out with a voodoo 1 and a sb16 and I want to use it to play non speed sensitive dos games.

I own most of the old Sierra adventure games bought through gog.com and they all run well on my modern pc with there dos-box installers.

The 2nd boxed one arrived and it did come with software. But it doesn’t seem to work well with windows 98 I loaded the software but windows still asks me to install drivers when I start it up.

100% sure its connected the correct way. I tried every way just to be sure. I think the mainboard has a fault. I am going to try to get a refund. True the bios battery isnt a problem just odd selling a mainboard with an old battery when he has batterys for sale on there own.

Seeking Space Orb 360 drivers/software

Posted on 2012-03-10, 08:00

I just picked up a cheap Space Orb 360 controller, as they always interested me and I thought it would make a nice edition to my late 90's system. Unfortunately it doesn’t have software or a manual. Windows detects it on bootup but there are no built in drivers. Dos games seem to require some thing …
