The install file is under E:\UFO. Unfortunately, I do not see how DOSBox has the ability to run that file. Alright, mount E E:\ is the syntax. I am using DOSBox X.

I have found a couple of obscure settings by fiddling with my TV. If you go to setup you can change the input labels of HDMI 1 to "RECEIVER" which is what is really connected rather than a blu ray player. Also, you can change the "black" from light to dark. I hate light black because it makes the …

There's a manual online and I still find this card confusing. Is it soundblaster 16 compatible?

Is Orchid a Yamaha brand?

Another question, is the waveffects version an OEM or a standalone version?

Oops. It takes a 16 bit ISA slot. I got confused. And I never saw the WSS acronym before. Windows Sound System?

K, the Yamaha SoundEdge is a Soundblaster 16 clone, and not a Soundblaster Pro clone. I reviewed the manual, which is available for free from Yamaha, and the OPL4 synthesis chip (described on the wikipedia) that comes with it has a General MIDI mode.

I had to reinstall the Space Quest Collection under a different directory, C:\SpaceQuestCollection rather than C:\Program Files (x86). I am surprised that DOSBox does run those games. Also, when I exited the game DOSBox had grabbed my mouse pointer so I had to use Ctrl+Alt+Del to bring up task …

No I can't see it when I run dir. The mount worked without a problem and you can verify accuracy on the wikipedia. You can't designate a directory name with whitespace in DOS, you can in Windows.

So I have C mounted as c:\progra~1. It's been a long time since I've used DOS designations. I can't change directory to "Sierra" which is directly underneath progra~1. I am using DOSBox 0.74-3.

I got the output by saving FF8.dls as a txt file with Awave Studio and then opening the file FF8.txt in Ultraedit. Then I copied and pasted it here. I tried Windows 98 compatibility mode and it still stalls.

The main thing to notice about these games is that the copy protection for Space Quest I and V come at the end of the manual come after the instructions for each game. These sections solve otherwise insoluble puzzles. The manual is on the disc.

This game works in Windows. Why does the EULA bring up DOSBox? This is not a DOS game. I understand how the EULA misleads. But, please.

I remember now the purpose of Mac Connect. It was to connect a printer to a computer with enough data transfer so that hypertransport and USB were never needed. It was supposed to have something better than a DI-9 which is a German DIN connector.

Their software for printers has been horrible for years. I've never had problems with Canon, Lexmark, and Brother drivers, but HP printer drivers fail left, right, and center. Now that you mention it my father had to call the Geek Squad once to install a new HP multifunction - I couldn't get it to …

You can’t go wrong with HP Laser printers. I have always bought them. They just work as intended and they have good software support. This makes me question if you've even used their consumer drivers. Ahem, the problem with HP for a while is the software available for free for use with their …
