Finally completed this retro build and setup MS-DOS + WfW 3.11 + NT4 on dual boot. http://imgur.com/a/Mscg3

Aww yeah, got some SCSI stuff in the mail today. Adaptec 2940UW and all those drives seem to work fine (except the SCSI CD drive doesn't eject but I don't care cause I have a working IDE CD drive anyways). That giant ST43400N is a hoot to boot up. It had two empty FAT16 partitions... just one PKZIP …

Yes, I've done this on a number of computers oeuvre the years. I've used one of these and it works great. That way you can connect both sound cards to one headset/speaker system. http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-RockStar-3-5-mm- … r/dp/B0017PG8KS

It's amazing the hardware in it came with it, except I tossed in that floppy drive and the serial port adapter in the rear.

Adaptec SCSI PCI adapter, SCSI cables, and AT to PIS/2 keyboard adapters …

Found an NEC Pentium era machine on craigslist, made an offer. Hopefully they'll respond. Thanks for the tipcs! If I need parts or more help, I'll come back here.

Hi all, I'd like to build a retro PC for older games and MIDI stuff. Will use MS-DOS 6.22 or Windows 95, not sure yet. Regardless, I am going to look for a Socket 7 ATX motherboard. I have PSU and a 20GB IDE HD already. Will get an ethernet card, PCI graphics card, some RAM (64mb should be fine), …

I have a Dell Latitude D830, specs: T7500, 4GB RAM, 128mb NVS140M, 1920x1200, 128GB SSD, Intel 4965AGN wifi, XP It's still decent enough to do surfing and browsing but it also does a lot of my retro programs and games as well. Have a Windows 3.11 VM in Virtual PC 2004 too. Thought you folks would be …
