I recently got a Philips Sonic Edge 5.1 PCI sound card (the model number is PSC605/17). It was pretty hard to find drivers for that, so maybe these can be added to vogonsdrivers so others don't have such a hard time. The archive includes separate drivers for 9x, ME, XP and a web driver pack (I …

Miraculously, I managed to repair and boot this sucker! It was indeed bad traces. I identified two that didn't have continuity and repaired them. traces.jpg repair.jpg I was then able to piecemeal test all the RAM, all the way back up to the 36 DIPs and 4 SIMMs at 8MB. Reassembled everything and it …

luckarusky, I have a snapshot archive prepared, just trying to organise a place to host it. As for maintaining your personal mirror going forward, I'm still working on a mechanism to make that easy, while still preventing abuse. sounds great! on standby here. HDD is ready to accept the snapshot …

Buying a server and co-locating it was an idea I considered, but it's expensive, both in initial outlay and ongoing. Somehow it's cheaper to rent an entire dedicated server, than it is to rent rackspace and BYO server. I've been researching possible options, but the cheapest suitable service is at …

I have found some old CD-ROMs, mostly OEM and found in magazines... How old are they? Maybe someone will get interested in. The Matrox and Creative drivers are around 1999-2000 and the browsers go from an old IE from 1996 to 2000. Again, probably most of this software is in Italian. They're drivers …

I'm "Meh" about considering anything regarding archive.org given their current legal issues. They may not be around too much longer. Which would be the greatest tragedy the Internet has suffered to date, but by their own hand (which honestly really pisses me off) Ironically enough, it's because of …

Yes some stuff there would be good to add but if it all took up many Gigs of space not sure SquallStrife would approve since they are on two other sites already. Pretty much. Not until we have a better hosting situation anyway. ;) I actually donated funds to the Driver Library site, and am willing …

I should also note that, once archived, updating will be a lot simpler. The program will compare and update any data that has either changed or been added. So the bulk of the downloading need only happen once.
