Wow, some great information here, thanks all.

I am 100% on board with sinking more time into this, that’s the plan. That was the point of this hobby machine 😀. Although if someone knows the answer, that works too.!!

I should mention that I have enabled netBUI in windows and I have found a diagnostic utility for this chipset, the utility detects the card fine in a command prompt in Windows but it doesn’t detect in DOS.

The darkness was a monitor issue. I replaced the monitor. As far as the game only booting in glide mode every other time, I fixed that by just adding the -glide launch parameter, and it seems to work fine now every time.

Hi folks, I am wondering if there is a way in DOS 7.1 to connect a network drive and mount a CD image, either iso or Bin/Cue I’ve got Windows 98SE working great and able to do this fine with Daemon tools. I’ve tried to start by just mapping the drive in DOS and it’s not working, and I wonder if it’s …

Well, I think it’s related to this Dell CRT monitor I have, D 1025 TM. It’s got standard mode, presentation mode, and gaming mode. Presentation mode seems to make things look normal. Standard is way too dark with the gamma, even if I turn brightness all the way up. And gaming mode looks fuzzy and …

Hi All, Down the rabbit hole of period-accurate Windows 98 builds, I go. I have a 933Mhz PIII, 512MB RAM and a Voodoo 3 3000. Win98SE and everything seems to be installed nicely and working well. But I'm seeing some weird issues in Unreal (admittedly, the first game I tried on this build). 1. The …

Another dumb question, if I didn’t want to dual boot, and got a Sata pci card, could MS-DOS run from the hard drive or would it be looking for IDE?

I’m also not entirely clear on what the cooling situation is for the Pentium III chips. The 933 chip has a massive, passive heat sink slapped onto it. No fan. The 500 MHz chip has an Intel heat sink and fan included.

Thanks for this. I don’t have a problem tweaking bios settings and down clocking the CPU, if that would help with DOS accuracy? I’m realizing I might not have an ideal all in one system without making some sacrifices. But I have enough parts here that I would just need to spend a bit to actually …

Hello all. I am new to these forums. I recently came across a pile of parts from a friend of mine. My goal is to build a PC that will let me re-live the experience of seeing the Unreal fly-by for the first time with my Voodoo Banshee back in the day. I’d also like to play DOS games with accurate …
