If you have a multimeter you can identify which pin of the ps2 connector indeed corresponds to each wire. Then you can search for the pinout and match every signal to the wire itself and connect it directly on the mainboard. I do have a cheap multimeter but I am so lost when using that one - I only …

Hi, So I am working on a 166mhz mmx machine and I have a ASUS VX97 motherboard. Everything works great but there was no PS/2 mouse and all my attempts of getting a USB mouse working with a USB PCI board failed. In the manual of the ASUS VX97 motherboard there is a page about an extra PS/2 bracket …

USB and Ethernet is working fine with the exact posted drivers in this thread - incredible knowledgeable and helpful community here at vogons! The machine is working great - will go ahead and try and solder on a PS/2 socket thing on the PS/2 pins on the ASUS motherboard. I think that is the best way …

I've got USB working now - usb-drives work and I can easily move files now. However mouse does not work - tried 3 different kinds. Seems there is no HID drivers for mouse in win95 really.

If you copied the WIN95 from the CD-ROM to the C: drive before installing (always recommended) sometimes it will start referring to disk numbers. Also, when you install drivers, sometimes Win95 will forget where the drivers are or forget where the Win95 CD is, and you have to give it the path again …

If there's no PS2 port then you would have been expected to use the 9-pin RS-232C serial (COM1) port - with a suitable mouse of course. I installed a USB-stick driver for my WIN95B and yes it's primitive but it worked. Didn't try USB keyboard or mouse. Ah, yes I remember that now those early mice …

A socket 7 motherboard likely has pins near the keyboard port for connecting an external PS/2 mouse port on a slot bracket. If you go that route, be aware that you usually have to move wires around to match the pinout of your motherboard as they were not standard. Lacking that, people would have …

Thanks so much everyone here with finding drivers etc. They all seem correct here! However when I try and install these Windows asks me to enter Disk 5 and 6 etc to get files. I have installed from CD so I wonder why it thinks I have the floppy disks of win95 also? and I have tried to located the …

For the DFE-530TX try here: https://support.dlink.com/resource/products/DFE-530TX/REVA/ Win95 USB support is only with version "C" and only after installing the USB support package and even then is extremely primitive. What are you hoping to do with the USB card? Adding a card won't add USB …

Hi, just got a 166 mmx scoket 7 computer up and running with Windows 95. I had these two "scrap" cards in my old retro collection in my garage and thought they could be used as my guess is they are from around this era. Ethernet PCI card: 20230819_231100.jpg 20230819_231112.jpg USB PCI card: …

If you incorrectly mix the leads, you will likely blow the circuit breaker for the …

It will allow you to use soundfonts but not the SF2 ones unfortunately. You must download and use SBK files instead which there aren't many good ones. I see! Ok, well its something better. I will check some of the SBK files and see how they sound. What is the reason for the SF2 limitations briefly? …

For DOS AWEUTIL will let you use MIDI emulation but has compatibility issues (especially with protected mode games) and only supports SBK for soundfonts. However there is a utility which is a work in progress that attempts to mitigate a major issue with AWEUTIL and it's called DOS32AWE . So just so …

ah that might be it! I have that installed. Yeah then, the awe 64 is probably better suited for a pentium system. I felt it might have been a little overkill for a 486 even though a fast 100mhz one. It works great in many games though - Doom 1/2 warcraft 1/2 so it seems some software trigger …
