I don't understand why the S3 ViRGE is so highly esteemed in retro-circles today. Compatibility with DOS games mostly. The S3 Trio64V+ and the S3 Virge are among the best cards for that purpose, as seen on Gona's spreadsheet . Some people also like to experiment with S3D compatible DOS games. While …

What are the options for very compact retro PCs? Obviously there are tons of old laptops out there, but they don't have any true ISA or PCI expansion slots. There are the very small and highly-integrated Unisys CWD4001 , CWD4002 / Leo Data Book 486-DBA , CWD5001 , and CWP5002 computers. Was Unisys …

Alright fair enough. Looks as though it's probably an imbalance for gaming from everyone here is saying. As I don't have a GF2 or GF3, my plan is to go with one of the MX440s I have that aren't in anything... I'd imagine that it'd create more of a balanced system for gaming. So I don't know how …

Is there any solution that currently works for bridging DOSBox players with DOS/Win9x-players? ipxbox claims to be able to do this , but so far I've been unable to make any headway with it.

Hmm... I guess there are many ways to approach the solution then. If I had to guess, I would say the safer option is to somehow be able to route the IPX traffic from an existing DOS/Win9x system to the DOSBox IPX-server rather than create an IPX-server client for the DOS/Win9x players - but I …

Are you aware of ipxgw? This apparently solves the problem of connecting DOSBox-clients with real DOS/Win9x systems on the LAN. If you can make use of this solution and make the whole thing run on OpenWrt, you'll be loved by all and songs will be written about you. 😁
