I guessed the reasons: 32 bit is used in the code. It is possible to change in ASM source instead of .386 to .86 ?

Does this work for sure? I run Ricktrn.exe and then it runs rick.com (size 3535 bytes) and everything is fine. The left-right-up-down keys work fine. But real computer 286 halted if i press F1-F6. Also before it hangs - just beep endlessly. Does anyone have it working on a real computer?

thanks everyone :) but Prince of Persia 2 runs fine on a 286 and requires 2mb of RAM if you want sampled sound effects and speech. I think the loss is not great;) added: If my 286 can handle 4MB (and it does) I would give it 4MB (and I did) think it better in the long run, sort of like maxing the …

Which game requires more than 1MB of memory (e.g. 4MB SIMM 30pin) and runs on a 286 processor? I ran a lot of heavy games that worked well on the 286 and the usual 1MB of memory (384KB XMS or EMM286) was enough. For example Dune 1-2, Wolf-3D, Civilization, WingCommander, etc. Have you had a game …

on mobo 4DPS socket 3, there are undocumentary jumpers for 60 and 66 MHz. This is useful for Intel DX4 (60 * 2 = 120) or (66 * 2 = 133). For AMD, 5x86 is practically irrelevant. Anyway, wait timings ruin the data bus speed (Cache or RAM). I chose 50x3 = 150mhz AMD 5x86 for myself and made …

One of the popular Russian-language forums in the CIS is https://www.phantom.sannata.org/search.php?search_id=active_topics In any case, we only know the motherboard KT216WB, not otherwise.

This motherboard is known as KT216WB (stands for KT2, 16mhz, WinBond?) They really don't work above 16MHz, is overclocking. The initial normal mode is 12 MHz. They were sold at the beginning as 12 MHz, then the manufacturer clocked up to 16 MHz. https://s017.radikal.ru/i430/1610/2d/e0c22ddff96bt.jpg …

nice 😀 i didn't know that samsung is good too 😀 if I'm not mistaken, then "Parity error check" is it J18, you need to install a jumper 1-2. 2-3 - OFF parity error check. I see chips "Parity Error Check" are also high speed 60ns 😀

clueless1: Excellent! 😀 But we must remember that 3Dbench (ver 2, cracked) do not operate below 286 due to counting errors. Need to use the original 3Dbench for XT, 286, Slow-386. Кушайте на здоровье! 😀
