Just purchased BCM BC845DL industrial board for P4. This one has AGP 4x, 5x PCI and 2x ISA slots. While I'm waiting for it, I was curious if any of you have an experience with it (or its chipsets) and have anything useful to share. My goal was to try to find a P4 board that has AGP for modern GPU …

Bought me an IDE to CF adapter, but since my existing SanDisk 256MB and 32GB cards are setup from manufacturer as "removable" media, Windows won't let me install on them. I tried to convert them to fixed mode with SanDisks ATCFWCHG, but it didn't work, the utility refused to change these specific …

That was it, thanks a lot Cyrix200+. I disable NIC in BIOS and Win98 booted in 5 seconds. Now need to figure out how to keep it enabled in BIOS, and make Win98 not hang when not connected to LAN - the PC is not on LAN right now.

I tried the FRAME=D000,M5, M6, M4 options. All four give me the following message: "Option ROM or RAM detected within page frame. Press any key when ready...." And then after I press any key the boot continues and displays EMM info which looks like everything is OK. When I then log to windows, DOS …

So I tried to install these drivers: http://www.vogonsdrivers.com/getfile.ph%20...%20tate=45,36 and didn't get very far. Upon boot to DOS when APINIT.COM runs it gives me an error that no PCI card was found. Do I need to make any changes to the c:\audiopci\sndscape.ini file? Additionally: I switched …

I went into it knowing that pure DOS sound is unlikely, but was hoping to at least get sound for DOS games that can run in Win98 window, or is that assumption incorrect? Reading Vogons thread I found that NForce2 chipset doesn't suport DDMA, yet I get sound when launching DOS games from Win98, just …

Hi, I just started building my first retro PC and am having problems getting Creative AudioPCI (CT4810) working under DOS. Goal: Setup dual boot PC with Win98SE and WinXP. Play native Windows games. Play DOS games launched from Win98. I’m ok if some DOS games don’t work as long as reasonable number …
