If GOG ppl only read these forums. Doesn't make any business sense to not make files availible if they already paid to have them modified. So what your company paid somone to make somthing run on windows XP then your boss goes and deletes it and which then angers off the community so they dont buy …

I tested the Auzentech a few days ago, and it has some kind of problem. It works but the sound quality is bad, so its added to my bucket list of things to repair someday. Possibly a new opamp for the front LR channels and a recap would fix it. Looking forward to trying out the other bootlogos …

Thanks, Internet is not really problem right now. A rig like this is powerful enough to run chrome 120 on XP. Both Supermium and Thorium run beautifully. All of those palemoon XP forks run great too.

Shout out to PcBytes who ripped the original TDZ2000 Bios boot logo from 1998 for me. I managed to replace the boot logo of the ASUS board with the Intergraph boot logo that orginally shipped on these machines. So now its a total sleeper.

I bought this Auzentech prelude, because they dont pop up that often for sale anymore and not for the price I paid for it. I did notice the few bent pins. It's so "clean" that it almost looks like a prototype. What is the DIP IC in the right corner? It's probably not a prototype . It might have …

It seems to be almost a clone in functionality to Disk Part from 2003 server and win 7, but with …

oof what else do you need than this? I guess you can assign irq 7 to the on board so it doesn't conflict with the sblive and that should cover everything. Idk how well the OPl4 is on the motherboard, I thought that I read it wasn't the same as GM. But the board has a midi/joystic port so maybe plug …

Ya the ony way I know that it might work is by using the patched IO.sys from rloew tb plus because it removes the limitations of how many primary partitions you can have in 9x. Make multiple primary dos partitions in win XP or 2003, install BOOTMGR from BTTR to hide partitions and boot them. Like …
