I figured it out (I think). Originally I had let DOS configure the drive so for whatever reason it only saw a 4.2GB drive of which it allowed me to use about 50% (which is right for a 2GB partition). However after that even when I deleted the partition using Win98SE from the boot floppy it still …

Right and I get that what perplexes me is why does an SD card to IDE adapter plugged into the same IDE port on the same motherboard show the entire size and show fdisk to format it as such? I would figure if it was a limitation in the BIOS that it would apply across the board and not just on SATA …

I have tried this on both a Biostar M5SIB and a Gigabyte GA-5AX (Rev 4.1) and had the same results.

When I use an IDE-based SD card reader though I am able to see and use the entire size of the card regardless of …

So I've been fighting an old EPOX P55-TV board with a P133 and 32MB to get a serial mouse working in DOS however I have been unable to. I have tried two different 2x10 serial IDC headers but to no avail. I have checked the BIOS at least a dozen times, I have attempted it on every setting offered …

So you’re saying that a P233 MMX is a bad CPU for that game or in general? I’ve never heard of that so I am curious where it’s coming from. Thanks!

So I’ve built a P233 MMX for Win95 gaming and it’s also my only system that has an 8MB 3DFX Diamond Monster Voodoo 2 which I have linked to an ATI Xpert@Play98. Now this system also has onboard video (ATI Mach 64). In Win95 I can disable this card and use the Xpert@Play98 however in DOS that doesn’t …
