Try a 3.x/4.x version of CDRWIN.

There are normally some 470uf caps that you will want to replace as well as the remaining 1000uf caps (not just the ones that are obviously defective). Otherwise the same issue will reoccur.

That's not going to help if there is data corruption occurring, as shown by the filename inconsistencies. Try it on a different machine, if the same thing happens throw it in the bin. SD2IDE and SD2SATA adapters always seem to be poor quality unless you spend big bucks.

Or just plug the fan into a spare 3-pin connector on the motherboard.

Well monitoring (to detect activity and prevent the system suspending) I can understand. It makes a lot more sense than waking.

There's jumpers to select between VLB/ISA video, did you adjust them when testing with the ISA card?

It might be off-screen for some odd reason, maybe you ran it on a secondary display in the past and it's remembering the old location for example.

Better off installing an x11 server and redirecting application's display to the windows box.

Integer decoding isn't really faster, it just enabled decoding on CPUs without FPU. Mostly it was only for smartphones before armv7 became widespread.
Re: Their Finest hour install through Dosbox - disk space error
Posted on 2019-07-24, 09:29
It's probably something else going wrong with copying files and the installer incorrectly assumes the problem is a lack of free space. DOSBox's internal copy command doesn't handle wildcards very well so you might want to try installing under freedos or similar.

The "Illegal read from 1018afab, CS:IP 2e0:1018afaa" messages mean execution jumped to an invalid address/unmapped page so DOSBox would be fetching/translating 0xFF instead of valid opcodes.

Re: SD Card as hard drive freezing sometimes?

Most SD-to-IDE or SD-to-SATA adaptors are actually just cheap and nasty SD-to-CF converters (including the ones that supposedly let you use a bunch of cards as a RAID). Decent ones perform ok but cost more than the SD cards to go in them. Basically if windows says the drive doesn't support write- …
