Re: USB KM (= KVM without the V part) switches - suggestions wanted for a quality model

Posted on 2021-10-08, 01:14

Actually a dumb USB switch (that simply acts as a switchable hub) should work fine with gaming keyboards as long as necessary Legacy USB support is in place for all PCs connected to it. Some basic KVMs that don't offer special features should also do. Still, you'll need one with good quality parts …

Re: MS-98L9 V2.0 , a new 1151MB with an ISA slot

@LSS10999 I do not know, to be honest, what internal check DIAGNOSE failed. It said it could not verify the I/O address. Maybe it tried to do DMA and this failed? Regarding the IT8892/3 and the IT8888, I did some more research and from what I read in the technical details (manuals, whitepapers) of …

But: :crying_cat_face: Using the awesome guide @elianda wrote , I then tried to configure the sound card. CTCM finds the sound card, but DIAGNOSE complains, and in Windows the sound card has a yellow exclamation mark :( Tomorrow I'll try playing with different IRQ/DMA settings, as, for example, …

Does Windows ME have the same memory issue as Windows 98 with more than 512MB of memory? I think 98 and ME don't differ too much. Just that it won't be as trivial as with Win98 to control the amount of memory available to it, as you'll need to patch WinME to enable Real Mode DOS to be able to load …

Install with more 512 MB should run fine, if you skip some checks, problem is first boot, for it you need limit max ram through himemX or system.ini .. you also need patch io.sys for more 512MB if you want to get into safe mode. I remember that in Safe Mode Win98 uses the SYSTEM.CB file instead of …

Re: Limit DOS RAM memory (XMSDSK / HimemX / JemmEx), DOS RAM size limit

I think it depends on how a program tests system RAM. HIMEMX and XMSDSK only controls the amount of memory available. If the program only tests about available RAM then the trick works. However, it appears there's at least one way to attain "total physically installed RAM" regardless of actual RAM …

But this one from DFI with 2xISA/4 PCI -socket 1151 (H310) is even more desirable... A late bump on this. Just noticed it and took some time reading the manuals. From the official photos the new DFI board seems to use ITE's PCI/ISA bridge so natively there would be no DMA support. However, DFI …

Re: Windows 3.1 on FreeDOS

This looks very promising. But it seems the video was taken using a relatively period-correct VM configuration for disks, RAM size and such, and is a FAT16/186 kernel. ... so I can't tell if this will work on a relatively modern system with FAT32/386 kernel and/or with more RAM than Win3.x allows ( …

Re: WinXP Nvidia, 1440p over HDMI is not working, it seems as driver problem, with Windows 7 its working fine (G750 TI)

A little bump on this. nVidia drivers for WinXP does not support HBR2 for WinXP (according to official release notes), so certain things won't work, namely 4K, which results in a blank screen on initial reboot after installing drivers that I have to manually edit the registry from Safe Mode to 1080p …

Thank you for your explanation, I just started reading the links you mentioned. However, I still can't see what was wrong with my early statements. Even if 32-Bit Windows could access only 3,5GB instead of the full 4GB due to an artificially limited, does this really matter so much? The PCI range …

jo22 in on post you stated the missing 1/2 gig was because of 32-bit Pentium architecture. Now you post more crap that is totally incorrect. I suggest you don't rely on your memory and go do some reseach on it before post ths stuff. I've you've made quite a few errors in other posts because you …

That's cool, thanks for the information! :cool: Ironically, though, some old 16-Bit Windows applications do run much better on Windows NT/2k/XP. Like some of the pre-Windows 3.0 applications, which Windows 9x refuses to execute (except if patched with Mark30 etc.) That's because these have a …

Are we really asking someone why they are running a 32bit version of Windows on this forum? Really? Um, yes? Running a 32-Bit vintage system like Windows 98SE is one thing, but running a 32-Bit edition of a modern system such as Windows 7/8 is another. That's akin to running Windows 3.0 in Real- …

maybe I'm missing something, but unless you are running this from a physical PROM chip, why bother? use PC or MS DOS This is currently the only functional DOS that could access long filenames without the need of DOSLFN, though it's interesting how it managed to incorporate that functionality in its …
