EDIT: Lukeno94, just saw your post, sorry. Well, here's my rationale: Microsoft, after Windows 98, as we all know, moved to pure NT systems. They just kept building and building on the old buggy NT code, until eventually they got to XP - which has all of the problems you mentioned above and more. …

It's interesting to see XP considered a "retro" OS these days - I guess I always considered it a "modern" OS, not too different (except where stability is concerned) from 7. But I guess there is a lot of stuff which simply won't run on Windows 7 (or 10, for that matter). But I'm still a card- …

Wow - that's all very cool. But I don't think the external CD player and speakers is really my thing :wink: Do these Panasonic cards have other dongles that don't attach to the CD player, and just have a headphones out or something? And what about joystick ports - do they have those? Thanks for …

Ooh, that brings back memories - I used to have two Dell Dimension PIII systems almost exactly like that. It had no hard drive so I plugged one of my spares in and did a fresh install of Win98SE + unofficial service pack 3. What is the unofficial SP3 for Win98? I haven't heard of that. What sort of …

People who are willing to pay up to $400 for what would be considered very generic here are idiots with too much money Unfortunately that is true, and there are a few people like that out there, though not very many. It might possibly be worth a shot putting at least the high end system on ebay and …

They are still too young to play with real computers, as they are from that touch-generation. (they struggle using a mouse) So DosBox and a laptop with XP shall do the trick of learning them how to use a propper computer. Excellent. My dad taught me to use a computer by putting DOS on an old laptop …

Funny story about the WAVjammer box. I bought it off of ebay and when I got it the box was empty! The seller hadn't even checked before listing it. I did get a refund and got to keep the box. :lol: Ha ha! Great story. It's always something with Ebay... I bought a turntable once. The guy said it was …

Hi, I'm new here, but lolo799 I'm wondering if you still have any of those old sound cards, and whether you're interested in selling one. I need it for my Toshiba T1960 laptop; I'm trying to build the ultimate 486 DOS machine, and the next step is a sound card. I've been keeping an eye on Ebay for a …
