I much prefer to open executables manually using 7zip to see the files inside. Perhaps you could try that? Then you could place them wherever you want.

This is pretty neat! I have one of those cable solutions from eBay with the in-line resistor but those are no longer available. This is much better and takes up less space!

Hello all. I've archived the QuickRestore disc for a Compaq Presario 4800 series desktop, from circa 1997. I hadn't seen it online before so I thought someone might want it.

That’s nice to know. I think a lot of people who are frustrated with Windows 9x is would do well to learn the benefits and drawbacks of VxD vs WDM drivers, and how to tell which are installed.

Windows 3.11 (not for Workgroups) and running in standard mode solved everything. Thanks! Is there a way to make this permanent? Or do I need to remain using win /S Try creating a batch file, such as "win.bat" and place it in a directory listed under the "SET PATH=" variable in AUTOEXEC.BAT. Try …

Re: Suggestion for short voodoo card
Posted on 2021-01-08, 19:18
I believe all voodoo1's and 2's are pretty much the same size/design, I maybe wrong though. I'd avoid putting 2 voodoo2's in there, even if they did fit. A PCI voodoo3 + extra cooling should be just fine if the v1 and v2 don't fit. It compromises DOS glide games compatibility but if it's the only …

Re: Simple Arduino based PS/2 to Serial Mouse Adapter
Posted on 2020-12-28, 15:15
Speaking of KVM, I’ve had success with using the Belkin OmniView SE 4 Port KVM Switch PS/2, which will convert any ps/2 mouse to a serial mouse port. This lets me use my Microsoft Intellimouse Optical, for instance, with my 486. I haven’t seen any noticeable lag, so this has worked very well for me. …

If anyone here owns one of these already, I'd be greatly curious to know if this could be tested on a PC with SCSI support. According to the manual at http://macsd.com/manual.php the SD card is formatted using FAT32 and uses *.bin as well as *.iso file types. "The MacSD is configured via a macsd.ini …
Re: hdd replacment - sd card, cf card or scsi

I've become a believer in SCSI after 25 years of IDE and its ilk. The turning point was my latest 486 build on a PC Chips M919. IDE wouldn't boot if the drive was over 504MB.; not even a 2GB CF card would boot, it would just hang. SCSI laughs at it and boots any reasonably sized drive since it …

Try using Device Manager to add the driver manually, and navigate to the VXD drivers on the disk when you do.
