Get a graphics card with a DVI output and use a passive adapter

If the drive exists and is configured properly, you'll be able to access it. Nothing to do with autoexec and config unless they are specialized RAM drives or something which I doubt.

Happens to everyone! I've definitely done things like that before.

PCI? Is that a 3c509 or a 3c905?

Hahaha I just ran into this problem the other day actually. My solution was to move the speakers further away from the monitor, 🤣.

Dig around in Google with searches like "VBX TCP/IP" and "visual basic TCP" Find those old websites that have downloads for VBX packages that will let you open TCP connections and send and receive data. Then you can start making simple GET and POST requests. You'll have to build up the HTTP requests …

Oh man, almost forgot about this. Yes, I am sure I still have the code somewhere. Let me do some digging and see if I can find it. It never worked very well though. The TCP/IP VBX I used tended to crash after leaving the program open for some time. Also, the CleanChat server is inoperable right now …

WSS and SB Pro settings should not conflict. I used to have a similar Toshiba and I remember having to go through every permutation of those settings before finally finding one that worked. Make sure your BLASTER environment variable always matches what you selected in the BIOS.

Open the battery, figure out what size and type of cells it uses, buy new cells, replace, profit

If the PSU is delivering incorrect voltages, it can cause all kinds of bizarre symptoms.
Re: Argh! Think my Packard Bell is dying?

Well, I assume you've reseated every cable, the RAM, etc. Then I would try a different PSU and different RAM and see what happens.

I have also used the serial port with a null modem cable in the past, but it's slow.

Tested this on an original IBM PC/AT. Was pleased with how well it worked. Enumerated the RAM from my third party expansion card correctly, even. It did not like trying to inspect my video card, however. Caused the whole system to glitch out. It's some generic EGA card, I'll have to check the model …
Re: Dell dimension xps t500 issue

Dell XPS T500 is a 440BX board, actually. Make sure the battery is the correct voltage (3v vs 1.5v). That's a long shot but maybe that's the issue.

Yes there are some models that have a switch for XT/AT. I like the Model M, of course, but it is AT-only. There might be active adapters though.
Re: Cycles default of 3000
Posted on 2022-04-25, 18:40
3000 is way too low for a lot of stuff. Equates to maybe a slow 386 or something. With modern computers you can just set it to 30000 or something and forget about it.
