My guess is that it was used for something financial or EPOS like. And the keyboard was possibly custom for that environment. My father worked for Olivetti during the 80s and 90s and we had no end of weird and wonderful devices in the garage that had come home from work. Keyboards with magstripe …

Do you have a little guide for freedos? At startup it gives me the message "jload: versions of Jemm and Jload don't match" The versions from Freedos are older and do not work with sbemu. So use the files (jload, jemm) from the zip file. You have to change the path in the config.sys and autoexec.bat …

I have tried both versions of the VXD drivers featured here on vogons, plus also an Audigy card. The Sidewinder driver is the 3.0 I am trying for fun to run Win98 on a downclocked X58 pc, surely there are speed problems judging from the other threads The controller is a Sidewinder Force Feedback

I have a Microsoft Sidewinder controller that connects via gameport. If I connect it to an AWE64 ISA card, it works fine. If I connect it to a SB Live or SB Audigy it simply is not detected, in the control panel it always shows as "not detected" I am on 98SE The gameport on both cards works because …

Maybe the card have not enough juice to run NV45 use more power than NV41. Can also be a RAM or BIOS issue. But I would test the PSU before. I forgot to write that: -If on the same pc I install Windows 7 I pass 3dmark (with NV45). -If on the same pc I change the board with Windows 98 already …

Must be driver related. I suspect if You were using WinXP with non modded drivers You wouldn't have this issue. Justout of curiosity what are the rest of the system specs? You won.
