That's definitely not my model, there isn't the ISA slot my model has...

The fastest way to find it is looking at the BIOS string on the bottom when it boots up, remember to press the Pause key to pause the boot process so you can read it :3 I don't see anything useful there :depressed: I tried Speedsys and it doesn't work, it gives some error related to the CPU being …

Even though increasing the CPU cycles makes the games a bit faster, they look still quite choppy for me, compared to how fine and smooth they play on my Intel Celeron 1.10 GHz MS-DOS 7.10 computer.

This happens a lot for me with old games with CGA graphics, my experience was with just a game which made it impossible to play at all: Gapper. Although the only way I can play it is either on DOSBox or on my 386 Epson which has a nice, cool "speed" button that makes the CPU work slower or something …
MS-DOS 7.10 / Windows 98SE Dual Boot, is it possible ?
Posted on 2016-04-23, 15:09
Hello, seeing how fine my Intel Celeron-based DOS PC is going so far I was thinking… is it possible somehow to have a dual boot with Windows 98SE without ruining my DOS 7.10 ? I'd rather ask you guys, before getting my hands on fdisk and accidentally lose my hard work on Windows 3.11 😁

Have you tryed these drivers: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/archive/radeonaiw-98me look at the release notes, x300 is Supported by this driver. I have newer cards, x600 and x850, and both work under win98. Thanks, I'll try them a bit installing Windows 98 in dual boot with XP, if they work, …

That's the problem !!! I can't find any driver compatible with Windows 98 and that motherboard !!! :depressed: That motherboard (ASUS A8V-XE)'s audio chipset is a SoundMAX, if you'd like to try to search some compatible drivers for Windows 98, I can't find any :depressed: You may try these ftp:// …

I even found Doom in that "utility" pack, WTF ? LOL I'll try SpeedSys today, I also put Everest portable on my pendrive and I'll install Windows 98. Looking at the southbridge and the CMedia soundchip, it is a PCChips motherboard, on these on the BIOS screen you can see the model number which is …

Ah yeah, Everest... I'll give it a try tomorrow when I try to install Windows 98 along with MS-DOS 7.10 I'm going to make it dual boot somehow, it's the best DOS PC I've ever used until now and I'd like to keep using it on DOS aswell as Windows 98 (you know, for Soundfonts software for my CT3670, …

Is there some way, some DOS software to "scan" the chipset and know whether or not I can find them for Windows 98 ?
What model and manufacturer is this motherboard ??

Hello, I found this motherboard from 2001 (the BIOS says "1999 - 2001" so I guess the motherboard is from 2001 or somewhat close) and today I decided to put it together with some hardware, I got a pretty nice DOS computer out of it, much better than the one I got outta that Olivetti M4 454 S I …
Keyboard stops working with Rayman on DOS 7.10
Posted on 2016-04-22, 14:49
Hello, I just installed Rayman from the original CD in my new made DOS 7.10 machine with a Celeron CPU (even though the game says it's a Pentium 6). I managed to play a game and then I shut down to plug the cable from the CD-ROM drive to my CT3670 for CD music and now I hear the music, but as I …

Well, it doesn't make any performance difference between the two versions anyway :D And by the way, in SVN-Daum version, you can just "maximize" it while keeping it windowed, not full screen, since I have 2 monitors here on my main computer, that makes a huge difference for me, since there's no " …

For the ati X300 try Catalyst 6.2 or 6.3. I've installed the drivers for the X300 without problems on Windows XP, although I couldn't find any compatible ones for Windows 98, are those 2 versions compatible with Windows 98 ? And if you find 98 drivers for sound card then try duke3d in command …

Nope, didn't work. As I said, I even tried to install my Sound Blaster CT3670 drivers (I have that card in my Olivetti M4 454 S machine), thus it would set blaster = a220 i5 d1 in the autoexec on its own, but, since there's no "actual" sound blaster card in that machine, it didn't even install, I …

I think I read it was an 80486 somewhere on the board near the CPU... or probably while using it... since you said that some software might read the Pentium as a 486, I'll double-check what it actually is and report you, but unfortunately I'm currently not in the house where I have it (it's in my …
