I see x86-S as an attempt which in theory would reduce CPU die size and make it more efficient by removing legacy stuff that aren't used in modern software development (x87 FPU, port-mapped I/O, 16-bit addressing mode, etc). For now, it is conceptual, and I don't think that Intel would implement it …

I wonder if, instead of copying files, the entire partition could be overwritten? e.g. Older NT versions are not as complicated as modern ones, so they're easy to move around. Actually you can just boot a Linux distro, enable SSH server, and copy all the files out via SCP. It's recommended to zip …

I think maybe NT3/NT4 setup is limited to 1024 cylinders when validating the destination of the disk so you cannot really choose a partition beyond that limit, even with a disk driver that are not bound by it. A hint ( thanks to OMORES ): You don't really have to install NT3/NT4 directly into bare …

To get it to work properly, you are most likely going to have to heavily modify the .inf file. You will need to: 1. Find the PCI ID that the card is reporting to Windows. 2. Look at the .inf for the XP driver. There are most likely going to be multiple sections that are used by that PCI-ID. 3. Look …

I was getting some blue screens when trying to get a report generated. This is from one of the times it wasn't crashing. I think the PCI-to-PCI is a standard driver and it is not related with the PCIe bridge. Everest sees the PCIe NVIDIA card . So I am assuming it works . It might not need any …

Looks like the report file is a bit corrupt. I wonder why. Fortunately, I could find the important part. The system did recognize the PCIe-to-PCI bridge, but it doesn't appear to have any port or memory range info. How did it show up in Windows 98's Device Manager? [ System devices / PCI standard …

Well it's kind of like the ISA slot. They first made it "optional", and things like -5V not needed anymore. One by one the manufacturers decide to pull it out, and change chip sets breaking compatibility (you have no slot, so it doesn't need to work like a full ISA bus). Now about 2020 on, ISA bus …

Maybe they're just getting reading for a completely locked down Windows 12? Win11 already required TPM2.0, and provided the ability for software to check TPM as well as Secure Boot status (demonstrated by Valorant).

I don't think that makes sense as if you were to want to access memory using long long pointers, then you'd want to recompile to full 64-bit anyway. There is the ability though, to use 32-bit pointers, and a full mix of 32-bit and 64-bit instructions (again, a recompile, but I guess a partial …
