Update. Did a few more tests. The other graphics card failed to display a picture @25MHz. On neither my CRT, nor my NEC LCD, I was able to see anything. Here's the CRT out of range message again.. - funnily, the frequencies are the same as provided by the Winbond card.. othe_hgc_25mhz.jpg Wow, it …

Update. Just soldered the 25MHz crystals on the Winbond card.. ...and got a success! :D It really works. H-Sync 28,3KHz, 76,4 Hz refresh rate. My Medion CRT seems to handle it without any problems so far! No glitches in text mode, so far. ^^ Edit: Quick video available at https://youtu.be/ …

You can't copy the files normally for a bootable floppy because the operating system files have to be at a certain place on the disk. The DOS "SYS" program is used to make a floppy bootable because it knows what sectors on the disk the operating system files must be, and it can move other files out …

Oh, I see. Then I recomment to try the Win16 or Win32s versions of WinImage, too. They should run on Windows 98, as well. Or try WinImage 6.x. That's what I used in the XP days, I think. If that still doesn't work, I suggest to check your floppy drive. Maybe it needs to be cleaned. Checkit! can …

Hi and good morning, Personally, I've never ever had a bluescreen with WinImage. Not even with Version 3 (16-Bit) on my 286 running Windows 3.10. Ideas. Did you try an USB floppy and a virtual machine already ? Programs like WinImage can run inside a virtual machine, too. That way, you can convert …

Everything I use rated for 220V AC for example, but according to my UPS, I have 236V at home. And no, nothing is blowing up in regular intervals :lol: This may true for most equipment, but there are exceptions.. Phono equipment, for example. My father's record player was rated for 220V. When I …

Hi snorg, I sadly don't know a specific brand or model, best I can do is giving a general advice: Make sure the voltage converter says it is "computer compatible" (or compatible with switching PSUs). The newer converters often have a label on the box, if they do. If you're unsure, you can use an …

With VGA over EGA the only real issue may be the refresh rate. 200-line EGA modes are 60Hz (like CGA) but VGA will display them at 70Hz, so anything which depends on that for timing could have issues. Unlikely to be a real problem with most things, but good to keep in mind. I second that. IMHO, …

Hi, Kahenraz, thanks a lot for this thread! I'm just watching the video.. :D It's incredible how the times have changed. They sure did. Technology is affordable more than ever. And some old ideas are new again. I like how VR makes a comeback right now or how the PDAs are back (smartphones). Also, it …

Re: Unable to see more than 2GB of my HDD

I never heard of this. Is this some kind of patch? Is DOS (pre 7.1) really supports this natively? I'm amazed :exclamation: It's a patched version of DOS, yes. I was using the original version of MS-DOS 5 for this little Halloween experiment. I don't want to get too much into technical detail, but …
