Windows/Total Commander has ftp client built in. As I've used it as main file manager back in time (now switched to Double Commander just because it is multiplatform), I've never have a need to use separate ftp client. For DOS ? Necromancer Dos Navigator also has ftp client (requirement is to have …

I've tried on both 286/20 and 486dx/33 and on DosBox. Same results. I did not ask for the bug but to know what you think about the performance. Is it correct on a 286 ? I never tested…. Yes. Performance is perfectly fine on 286/20. I can play everything in good quality. On SB16 clone (CMI8330), all …

Thank you FreddyV for new release.All the S3Ms I've tried played well ! Is XM support mature enough to report bugs ? I'm asking because for one module - Pools of Poison by Jeroen Tell (Wave) I got "UMB mem corrupted" error ? I've tested it on my 286 as well as on 486 and DosBox. Does it meen that …

Thank you so much! I peeled the label off the chip and found that it was a 27C1000PC-15. Doesn't look erasable, so what EEPROM could I look into getting to replace this? I did a bit of googling and it seems if i can find something that has the same pinout and is 128k i'm good, but I just want to …

There is also Gamebuster 4 program. I tested it on 286 PC. You can activate it pressing CTRL key 3 times. It can be useful for saving/loading in games which doesn't provide these functions itself.

My point is, the chipset is nice and compatible, but the cards themselves might not live up to your expectations in terms of picture quality if you're into that thing. In that regard, I would get the SpeedStar Pro. It should at least have quality output. You may easily improve picture quality for …

To be absolutely safe about data integrity, you may limit max HDD UDMA mode to UDMA2 by special tool. For Seagate it is UATA100.exe http://www.autourdupc.com/Logiciel/Utils/Softs/UATA100.TXT

It is possible that only way to change BIOS settings is to run dedicated program for it. I had Amstrad 2286 which works this way. However you may try to use program like 'cmoser.exe' for modifying CMOS settings. Just run in from diskette. Also some PC-test programs have such a function, i.e. PC-PRO …

FreddyV, can you check why eskefjes.mod sounds incorrectly ? I've checked this on my 286/20Mhz. Old modplay 2.19b by Mark Cox plays it more properly, however not ideal. Of course there are a lot of modules which can't be played at all by Modplay even though they are 4 channel mods, your player is …
