OK guys. I just tried all my HDD with that Gateway2000. All of them failed, except: - Conner CFS210A (685 CYL, 16 HDS, 38 SEC, 210Mb) - Caviar 22000 (3876 CYL, 16 HDS, 63 SEC, 2000.3Mb) Rest failed: - Seagate ST3660A (545.5Mb) - Maxtor N256 (6000Mb) - WD800 (80GB) - Hitachi HDS7280 (80GB) What is …

Btw, I tried 520Mb Hdd - still the same thing. Does not boot, fdisk does not recognize it. What else I can do?

Recently I tried to update hdd in my Gateway2000, p90. It has Amibios 1.00.03 BS0T Previously it had <2gb hdd and no problems. Now I try to insert Maxtor 6GB (Model 90640d4). It works on other computers but this one does not see it. I typed Cylinders, Heads and Sectors in Bios - nothing. I boot into …

I'm gonna take a look again today and search online. Meanwhile vetz, if you can suggest me any particular model... I checked on ebay and it looks like between $40-$70! I was hoping for some $20 tops! 🙁

What do you think about this one: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/5x86/Cyrix-5x86-100GP.html Is that one my socket compatible? How fast this one is comparing to 486DX66 and Pentium 120Mhz?

I have Compaq Presario CDS 526 Computer. It is All-in-one and I really love that thing. I upgraded RAM, DVD-rom on it, and even HDD (It was strange, cause it installs its drivers on hidden partition). The only bad thing about it is that it has no reset, poor SB installed and it is slow. It has …

Thank you Jorpho. I will name my first boat after you.

How am I supposed to use that 4dos? Will that help me to rewind screens? Archive website does not have pedit 4.0. The only hope that you guys put it for me on rapidshare or something. Is anyone was able to play Trade Wars 2002 on dos? I keep looking for that file.

I tried to install Zip 250 again. The iOmega software installed scasi drivers into config.sys and drive shows again some random signs. Is there a ATAPI driver? Can you guys recomend me some good recent picture viewer dos program? Years ago I remember I was using SEA, but want to know if there is …

Ok. I switched graphics card (I had Cordex Tseng ET4000) and install S3 TRIO64V 2MB, MPXPLAY works again :) I heard a good things about that Tseng card, but actually nothing worked on the one I have. When I played Cannon Fodder it was stuttering, some games gave me black screens. I replaced that …

On the zip - I tested it in another windows computer. Worked like charms. That is why I was asking about dos usage. CD-Rom - So it should not be like that? Is there a bios setting to speed it up? NSSI tells me that it is 2.30 version unknown manufacturer cdrom. On top of that. Recently I tried to …

I'll try to put all my questions together here. Each time when I search the Internet for answers this forum is in results, so just want to say, how grateful I am. Anyway, here are my questions: 1 - Is there any DOS enhancer that would change its colors and would make possible to rewind the screen …

I must say, I have a lot of fun with it. Right now I'm testing different OS's (FreeDos, 7.10, GeekDos) So far I have following questions. - Do I need any drivers for my et6000? Maybe some vesa drivers? Some programs (Cubic Player) have hard times viewing any graphics. - My Awe64 has strange IRQ. Is …

No luck with freeDos. None of the tools were copied and now computer stucked on kernel sys command 🙁 I will reformat hdd and install fresh Win98. I'll keep you updated! Thank you guys for helping me with this.

You are right. There is setting like that. Also, it turned out that I had to swap cdrom from my 486. Right now installing FreeDos. So what else I should do?

I checked everywhere in Bios and I don't see that option 🙁

Please help me with my Dos computer. I was born in 1980 so I witnessed a real boom for computers in eighties and nineties. I had C64 and finally in nineties 286. I always dream about having nice 486 with Sound Blaster. Recently I finally decided to buy Pentium III. I want to use it for demoscene and …
