Hope someone will make an EGA version. I know there was a Beta EGA just can not find it anywhere. VGA beta is available.

CTCM and MIXERSET are configuration utilities and not TSR-s. So they do not need to be loaded high.

Why the hell did 386 connect so many address lines? Motorola 68k CPUs were all internally 32bit but did not connect all address lines.
Re: What’s you Favorite ISA Sound Card ?

ESS 1869. Perfect Sound Blaster PRO comp. ESFM is OPL3 sounding. No fuss drivers. No midi bugs. Nice aditional 3d effects, that you can control even in dos.

Minumum 32BIT VGA machine.(In reality, do not have anything slower than a full fledged 486SX25) Maximum ISA slot machine.(In reality P3-800 machines. I do not mess with newer stuff, no need.)

Maybe like a Vogons Drivers, but software. I really like to download my newest FastDOOM and HWINFO and any new stuff from same place. It is just a sugestion.

Yamaha and ESS PCI products have a direct hardware 388 and 2x0 port support. So the FM is in hardware, not in software.

Well... After my 286, 486, multible levels of Pentiums and Celerons I still looked that my brand new AMD Athlon motherboard had an ISA slot for DOS gaming. But after that I just started collecting computers that could run DOS games.

Only real problem is the MCGA. So absolutely no EGA games. Only the bare minimum CGA support. And only pure 320x200x256 that is too slow anyways.

All DOS is copyable. Hey all non NT Windowses before 95 are also just copyable.
Re: How do you enjoy games like Wolf3D/Blake Stone without WASD?
Posted on 2022-04-23, 03:08
Still bind all my modern games to arrow keys. Never got used to that WASD thing. Tried it few times, it felt so unnatural. With modern games. Arrow are movement. Enter is interact and use. Space jumps. C croutches. Everyone has its own path to enlightenment. 😉

NES Contra level end jingle. Doom baron of hell acknowledge sound. And somehow I just love Carolco intro sound.

Why no EtherSVR port to Windows? How hard would it be?

In reality Doom 1.1 has better sound, varable pitched sound. And it is little bit faster in slow machines.

Just a question, how hard is to implement modern SSl and HTTPS and modern secure FTP. It is a nice software, but i reality, you can not retrive aniything from the wild.

I have the AV9155 and i connected JP27 upper pins to a switch. All lower pins are only a parking position, so nothing changes, if you do not short lower pins.

Well my main problem is space, and it is just a nice hobby, to cram retro comuters in small cases. I have use a VCR case, DVD player case, few small UPS cases, uATX case. 486 cpus are X locked in my opinion. So you can not change from DX2 to DX4, but FSB easily changeable and somehow the FSB speed …

This is nothing, what if last floppy is corrupt. In the old days i had one of last floppy corrupt in a Windows 95 floppy installation. Seriously, I'm wondering what's the record diskette count for a single software product? My candidate is Microsoft Office 97, with 46 diskettes. Just imagine this: …
