Man I used to love playing that game! Just dug the CD out and gave it a whirl on my laptop which is running Windows 7 Home Premium. In Windows 95 compatibility mode it works fine!
Interesting copy of Windows 95 on eBay
Posted on 2011-07-21, 20:43
Was looking on eBay to see how much I could sell my various copies of Windows 95 for and I spotted this: Link Apparently it's an early version that doesn't require a key. What do you think? It could be a fake or possibly one of the early beta preview discs, although I would have thought it would …

Does anyone have a copy of this and if so would they be able to upload it please? I've been looking online and can't find it anywhere! Would love to try it out on my Rage Fury Maxx 😎

I've replaced the noisy-as-hell AudioDrive with a Yamaha OPL3 SA-2 which is a ton better :happyhappy: I tried playing MP3s on an Intel DX4-100 486 but it just couldn't cut it :pppt: But yeah, mega impressed at the durability of this thing. If a newer board was treated like this it would probably …

Jeez, this thing is ridiculous. Put the AudioDrive in and an Intel 10mbps Network adapter, installed and old version of foobar2000 and it's happily playing a 256kbps AAC file! :exclamation: The audio quality from this AudioDrive is terrible though :lol: EDIT: Even clocked down to 75MHz it's playing …

Thanks 🤣 I look after my stuff too but this at the time was just considered 'an old board' so wasn't packed away terribly carefully 😵 Found an ESS AudioDrive to go with it too 😜

I have an old PC Chips M530 430VX Socket 7 motherboard which has had a tough life. My brother used it in the late 90s and early 00s but since around 2003/4 it has been outside of a case and nestled in between a bunch of clothes, no doubt getting a ton of static damage you would have thought. Same …

You could get one of those old serial to PS2 mouse adapters if your mouse supports both protocols.

Now we just need to wait for a V6K owner to get one of these and the AGP to PCI adapter and bench their card on an overclocked Core i5 😮

Never understood the hate of PCI audio cards. In my 3DFX Voodoo1/Rendition Verite V2200 rig for older Glide games I've always used a SoundBlaster Live. The DOS drivers Ensoniq developed are fantastic and I've not had a single issue using them with DOS games such as Carmageddon etc. That and the …

Hmm, I don't know where I saw it but 'QDI' seems strangely familiar for some reason... 😜 EDIT: Doh! The reason it's familiar to me is because my motherboard is QDI 😵 😵

Ahh okay. Were probably part of some OEM PC's. Not sure what though. Got these all on ebay, not that I use them very often though.

I have three of these. 4MB AGP cards with the date code of 9802. All identical apart from one (pictured) has an ATMEL BIOS chip whereas the other two have SST chips, and also has an older V2200 dated 9749 whereas the other two are 9803. So does anyone know who made these? http://homepage.ntlworld. …

Re: Game for taking image quality shots for 1st gen cards?
Posted on 2011-07-18, 16:58
What about 3DMark 99 or 2000? I even got my S3 ViRGE DX 4MB to run on 2000, although the image was terrible 🤣 Apart from that, maybe Test Drive 4? I played 5 a lot but that is pretty bad performance wise on older cards and only has a D3D6/Voodoo2 driver. Btw I love the website! 😁

According to the FCC ID (FQII740AGPSD) it's made by Joytech Computer Co Ltd. I'll take some pictures of it soon.
