IIRC you can access W98 shares from W7 but you can't access W7 shares from W98. I was never able to get SMB working between W7 and W95.
Re: 486, Pentium Pentium2 or Pentium 3 in XT case?

A modern computer in an early 80s XT case would be hilarious. The monitor and keyboard would give it away though.
Re: EGA cards: are there significant differences between models? Recommendations?

I was toying around with my turbo XT clone I remember EGA games being really slow, to the point that most of them were not very playable. This is my memory as well. I would play games in CGA because they were faster.

Oh cool I had an actual LOADFIX.COM program in C:\DOS that must have been hijacking the call
5.25" drive and modern Windows
Posted on 2017-05-11, 12:25
Is it possible to use an old 360 KB 5.25" drive in a newish system running Windows 7? BIOS support is there but what will Windows make of it? I know it won't format old disks but can it read and write to them? What about Windows 8 and 10?

Gotcha, Pcem it is then. Also what version of LOADFIX are you guys using? The one I have doesn't accept any switches. I got the same result from multiple calls of an old program called LOSE64K which literally consists of just two lines: MOV DX,FFFF INT 27

(See Game memory footprint in DOSBox) Hi all, another question regarding emulating less than 640 KB of memory How do I do this for a DOS booter image? You can't run LOADFIX or similar tools in that case. I want to see if a particular booter game runs in 256 KB, 128 KB or less memory.

I'm trying to emulate a Amstrad PC1640 ECD, which IIRC had EGA video, but with less than 256K video ram (I think 64K?)
EGA video memory emulation

Hello, is it possible in DOSBox to emulate a EGA adapter with 64K or 128K video memory instead of the full 256K? TIA.

The two problems I've had ordering entire computers are broken bezels and loose internal fans. The plastic bezel is the weakest part of the case, and when the box is tossed off of trucks, planes etc. it usually breaks unless the packager really knew what he was doing. Also, fans have a tendency to …

I was just reading about the CPC on another website. It was very popular in France apparently, more than the Spectrum or Commdore 64. Why was this?
Re: Wobbly motherboards in AT cases

I recently picked up AT case that used to have rubber pads that held the motherboard in place and stopped it flexing in situ, however they had completely turned to a messy white paste (why?) and had to be removed. Now boards in this case flex when you insert/remove components.
