Glad it works again. 🙂 I've searched the net for causes of the problem, but I didn't find much information. https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Workstation-Pro/Graphics-problem-after-upgrade-15-to-16/td-p/2312136 Another reason could be a problem with mksSandbox.exe. https://communities.vmware. …

Well the probe itself isn't running windows 98 it's software was developed on windows 98. The probe itself is running a RTOS just like all other space craft. Still a cool story and Mars Express has been a fantastic mission and a great companion to NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter mission. Yes, …

There are also options which don't (to my knowledge) implement multi-tasking and were intended for use cases like connecting to your office computer when you're at home or on the road, like Norton pcANYWHERE or the Commute tool in Central Point PC Tools. I've made a quick video about Commute a …

On home PCs at all, it was a defender clone on a ZX Spectrum back in 82 or a little earlier. Still trying to find that one, all I can remember is it had alternate city and mountain levels and was actually a type-in from a mag. Did I hear Defender? 😃 That was one of my favorite games on a Sharp MZ- …

Thanks. Found the manual, I think.. https://www.manualsdir.com/manuals/40112/asus-vx97.html?page=34 Is the HDD setting set to LBA already ? I'm asking, because it seems to me that DOS 7 and Win95 see different HDD settings maybe. That can happen if DOS 7 asks the BIOS about drive geometry, but Win …

Sure. It's just fun to tinker with QB45/VB Classic and Delphi! 😃 There's a lot of existing sample code for tinkering with hardware. USB, Parallel, Serial, Gameport...

@root42 Ah yes, I know. 😅 I just tried to be diplomatic here since I didn't mean to undermine the usefulness of VBE, but at the same time didn't mean to be unfair to the VGA/CRTC artists. Thanks for explaining it though, it's very good to understand the way you described it. 🙂👍 Edit: Changed size. …

Re: CF-IDE not working

Posted on 2022-06-22, 19:44

^Hi, that's the key pin. It was used in the later life of IDE to help the user to correctly orient the cable. Before this, gray ribbon cables simply had a red line on one side that indicated pin 1. Normally, it's no problem to use a needle etc. and make a proper hole. Sometimes the key pin is also …

Honestly, I also like 640x400 very much. Has a neat memory size. As Jo22 said it can be used down to 256K VGA cards, has higher refresh rate, and is very similar to other 400 line modes (which includes 320x200, which is line doubled on VGA). That's right, I often forget about this. 🙂 So mode 100h …
