As others already have previously stated I do understand if most people don't see any reason to build and use old retro rigs. It's a hobby: it doesn't need to have a huge purpose behind. If gaming is the main purpose you can pretty much emulate 95% of the old games without problems through DosBOX. …

I bought this old P200MMX unit loaded with 64MB RAM, 2gb HDD, ATI Rage II, 3DFX Voodoo 2 and SB16 Vibra. Very flexible Socket 7 mobo with 3 ISA, 3 PCI and one shared slot. Both SIMM & DIMM memory slots. http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee443/Ariakos/Retro-PC%20-%20Pomi-200/pomi1_zps1d8wfozb.jpg …

I didn't actually buy but got these for free from my friend. Aureal Vortex 2 PCI sound card and Maxtor Fireball 3 40gb HDD for my PII-450 project. I'm not sure if these work but we'll see soon enough. http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee443/Ariakos/Retro-PC%20Vogons/20151108_191753_zpsbkvvmpif.jpg …

I pre-ordered Fallout 4 from local shop but due to travelling on 10th I can grab it before 12th. Early adopters will get 2 days head start on me that I can't ever reach. Feels bad, man.

My oldest piece of PC hardware I still have must be 486 DX2/66 CPU and PS/2 keyboard I salvaged from my old Olivetti 486 computer I got as a kid in 1994. Ahhh... but if we talk about hardware you bought with your own money... then it's Roland LAPC-I. I got it relatively cheap at the end of '90s ( …

Whaddya know, I just happened to come across Compaq PII-400 machine with 2 ISA slots and an ESS sound card that goes to ISA slot. I have to inspect the exact model as soon as I get back home but it might be ideal compromise with SoftMPU... If the mere software emulation doesn't cut it for me, I …

The LAPC-I does not have a gameport, the port it has is only to be used with a MCB-1 breakout box. There is a music store here that for some reason has a lose MCB-1 , I tried to get it a couple of years back but the old guy running it wouldn't give me a straight answer about price. So I just didn't …

Sorry for stealing an old topic, but I have a newb question that is pretty close to the original. I have Roland LAPC-I and recently I bought Roland SC-55 mkII for General MIDI. I'm planning to install a Sound Blaster (2.0/16Vibra/AWE64) and an LAPC-I in my "brand new" P200 MMX and I was hoping to …

Hello, long time lurker and first time poster here on Vogons.org. I currently have both Sound Machine's QS803 ISA sound card from '92 and Sound Blaster 2.0 from '91. They are so similar that they both obviously came from same factory. I guess it's safe to say QS803 practically is SB2.0. http://i1228 …
