Hey folks. For fun I decided to see how far I could get installing Windows 2000 on my old Toshiba Satellite A100 I've had since I was a kid and amazingly it's more or less fully compatible with W2k, even got WiFi with WPA2 working somehow. Regardless I am running into an issue with the Realtek HD …

So the the final way to get it to work is to run SETUPSA, exit out of it, and THEN I can hear sounds in Doom2. Sadly if I want to boot into Windows again, this causes a resource conflict and thus I need to do a full reboot to get sound under Windows again.

I wanted to give an update so far... My system does NOT have a CMOS battery (had to remove due to leakage) and I was noticing that my SBPro DMA setting was constantly reverting back to Channel 0 despite changing it to "Same as WSS". Even when I would leave the laptop plugged into AC, change the …

SETYMF is replacement to Yamaha's SETUPSA util that I made a while back for my own YMF71x based sound card, but it will work with most/any random YMF71x implementation and may prove useful here even if others fail. You can get it from a link in my signature. I tried out your SETYMF application but …

Thanks all, I did try UNISOUND to no avail, figured I was just not using it properly but I guess it doesn't work for my Libretto anyway. As for those utils, they do work :) the Libretto 60 is just a 50CT with a faster 100mhz Pentium released for JP market only. So far everything 50CT related has …

Imho all you need is one line in autoexec.bat... SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T4 ...and adequate settings in BIOS, see attachement :) It's from Libretto 50CT, but I quess 60CT is pretty much the same. Thanks for the advice! I checked my BIOS and the only difference was SBPro DMA channel, I changed it to …

Hi folks I've got a little Toshiba Libretto 60CT here with a Yamaha OPL3-SAx built in sound chip. It seems to run DOS games well, but the issue is within digital sound... I can hear MIDI music no problem, but the actual sound effects for Wolfenstein & Doom 2 are silent... Is there some sort of …

The device line with cardid should also have the full pathname to the cardid library, cardid.ini I think, check the manual. Did you install CardView properly? ah i didn't do that... how exactly would I put that in my DEVICE line, just a space character after the path of the device? I'm pretty sure …

I use HIMEM.SYS... Not sure if that's similar to EMM386 or not. If you don't need emm386 for any software you plan to use with your pcmcia card(s), or unless the cards drivers requires it, don't worry about memory ranges to exclude! Got it, thanks! I loaded up the devices in config.sys (ss365sl.exe …

Cardid.exe is mostly useless, csalloc.exeis usually needed to reserve memory if you have emm386.exe loaded with that memory range excluded, that depends of the card you use and what its documentation says. Otherwise loading only ss365sl/ss365lp and cs.exe as "device=" statements should report no …

Do you have Dos6.22 and Win3.11 installed already? Try the utility here to detect your pcmcia chipset: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=285316#p285316 Not sure it will work under Win95. Your chipset is probably a ToPic95 though with a PCIC 16bit compatible mode that you can set in the bios. …

Hi folks. I have an old Toshiba Satellite 220CS (Same as 220CDS) that I've been spending a lot of time trying to get WFW 3.11 loaded on to. It was officially supported as per : http://pub.agrarix.net/HW/Toshiba-220CS/satellite_220_e.pdf The user would power on the laptop and be prompted to select …

Hi Iris4g, Great that you were able to fix this nice HP Pavilion socket 7 system! :) And now you are running the latest v1.10 BIOS as well. Being a Phoenix BIOS, this explains the error message you got when trying to flash the Award BIOS. ;) The fastest CPUs this Phoenix v1.10 BIOS supports are the …

It's good to have it working again. If you can share a link to that site (or files directly)for any other interested , that would be excellent. Is this the model with the AMD CPU? Here's the website. Please note that I have no idea what the nature of this website is like... I have adblock and …

writing to say that I fixed the problem! I believe it boiled down to two issues. A general issue with the chipset not liking windows 98 per Se, and a need for a BIOS update. I dug really hard and found some sketchy Russian driverguide clone site that had all the latest drivers for my pavilion, …

Getting the error "can't find system BIOS' hook" every time I run aflash, maybe because it's an HP Oem board? It is possible, but I've only seen this error message when he HP system had a Phoenix BIOS and you tried to flash a BIOS from another vendor. I had this once on a HP Pavillion 6640C with …

What BIOS Revision do you have now? I believe Revision 1006 is the latest for the Asus P5S-VM/P5-99VM boards. Thank you so much! I was still having issues flashing. I believe the BIOS is 1002, it's never been updated since the pc was bought. I'm going to back it up now and try out the latest I …
