I have my original Win 98 and Win95 discs, but when I mount them in DOSBox and run setup.exe, I only get as far as "Setup is going to perform a routine check on your system." I am trying to find a way for my wife to play one of her favorite games, Rama (from Arthur C. Clarkes novel) which was …

Is there an easy way to inject the microcode or check if it is present? Once I asked Jan to add the microcode to my epox ss7 board and he answered it was already present, despite of that the board never posted with the tillamook. it’s possible for the board to be incompatible or set wrong but still …

BAD NEWS II: today I got another (2-nd) P-MMX-Tillamook, for the 2-nd socket. No luck: in the POST there is shown "i(unknown)", and that's all. The same result using one or two Tillamook(s). For instance, I used another two Pentiums P54C (without MMX) -> the POST results in "Intel(P54C)x2". As I …

Okay, may have figured it out. Force installing 71.84, installing direct x from the halo cd and checking this box seems to have done the trick. This little check box made the artifacts go away at least for now... Why a setting for a tv tuner I don’t have is helping, I have no idea..

BAD NEWS: the L1-cache of the Tillamook is automatically DISABLED on booting by the BIOS :-( -> Speedsys returns a CPU-result of about the level of a 486DX2-50 (at 233 MHz Tillamook-speed). -> CheckCPU says "L1 Cache disabled", too. -> the L1 can be enabled with SetMul -> unfortunately it works …
