Now if all those leds could be used as blinkenlights instead of an ambient lighting...nice colour though, perfect for Subwar 2050 or Archimedean Dynasty! What are the 3 vertical computers on the left?

I'm not sure if you're looking for the latest versions of operating systems working on i586 or if you're looking for old ones too...if the latter check the sticky Retro Oses thread, I posted about many of them there that works on a first gen Pentium.

Yes I'm sure, Panasonic is the only brand that made use of that function of the pcmcia port. The fm card readme mentions the feature and its settings .ini file has a parameter for it. You can also check the DOS enabler, it has a switch to use the the system speaker output, it's still available here: …

Made some recordings of the Panasonic cf-jvr101 fm radio card outputting audio through the 200lx speaker. The volume was set at roughly a 1/3rd of the card volume wheel, except for the last two recordings, it was at 1/3rd for the first 10 seconds then 2/3rd for the next 10 seconds and at full for …

I can answer that one, it doesn't sound that bad really, it just depends on the laptop, "newer" ones use the same speakers for the integrated audio card out and the basic system speaker sounds, so it's quite good on those. On older models usually without integrated audio, the system speaker is just …

Yes I am aware of the newmedia one, however as it was described to me it was a ROM with some communication utilities and not a flash. There was one for sale on ebay recently but they would not ship to Canada, and the listing was gone before I could do anything. It was just a loose card no dongle …

There were a handful of fax/modem cards sold for the palmtops that also had flash memory on them, to avoid that chicken and egg problem of connectivity through pcmcia but low storage...
