Delphi 2, by accident, can also compile -more or less- Win32s compatible binaries w/ relocation tables. Funnily, you can even include manifest files as used by Windows NT 6.0 onwards. The result is a binary that is able to run on Windows 3.1 onwards, needs no runtimes and looks "GDI+ style" (uses …

Re: Viewing the Upper Memory area

The A-Segment is used for EGA/VGA, too. Unless you're using something like CGA/Hercules graphics modes , it isn't available (free). I tried something similar in my thread about umbherc.sys a while ago and failed. There, I wasn't able to use Hercules video memory for UMBs (my PC/XT had CGA, so it …

Re: Switching DOS into REAL mode

So how does that all add up to commanding a 386 running dos 6.22 to go back into real mode once it's booted with a memory manager that put it in protected mode? That all adds up to why switching to PM is/was usually a necessarity. As Falcosoft and the others already told, there's no way EMM386 does …

Hi, by nature Expanded-Memory works in any mode. It uses bank-switching and was originally made for real-mode and the IBM PC 5150/5160. It depends on the EMS manager to provide that memory. Originally, EMS memory was installed on a dedicated ISA card. EMM386/QEMM usually switch to protected mode in …

I have done some Googling, and it seems possible to flash the FW on these cards. This card seem to have been a standard card in Mac, so many has reflashed them for PC. As far as I know, that card was 66MHz-capable. These Macs had a special 32-Bit PCI-Slot that was intended for the video card, which …

3dfx cards were the first actually successful 3d accelerators and for the 90s gamers they were "the thing" to have. Ahem. Like Win98, it was the thing to have for the when-the-90s-were-almost-over-gamers. ;) Mortals like me, rather stuck around with DirectDraw and DX3/5 capable hardware. About when …
