Thanks everyone. SO far I have been having good results just by making my Daemon Tools drive the D: drive. Haven't had to make any other changes yet.

Re: Which Packard Bell model is this?

The monitor and whole Packard Bell package is something I could probably get fairly cheap if I wanted it. Just not sure its anything I need for any reason if they are not anything special.
Re: Which Packard Bell model is this?

Thank you all for your help! I can't decide whether or not to get it. It seems the monitor is worth some money but I don't think the actual pc itself is worth anything and I already have computers of that era that can do the same thing.
Classic Games with CD Audio
Posted on 2017-11-08, 21:49
I was curious. Are there any list out there that show which classic windows/dos games had cd audio? I know that a list may be very large but I am not sure how many there are out there that would require a CD for the full experience as opposed to ripping the image and using an image mounter. And on …

Nevermind my last reply. She wasn't sure what I meant but I explained it again and she found the sticker. It is a 5951 model. Now my initial google foo-ing has not turned up any results for info on this machine. Does anyone know where I can find info on it? Filename IMG_1613.JPG File size 44.46 KiB …

No stickers on top she says. I know it is one of the PB Multimedia PC era rigs but not sure which one. I thought most of them had AMD processors though but this one has an Intel according to the sticker.

Re: IBM 5151 Monitor Issue
Posted on 2017-10-20, 15:45
Yes I suppose I should include more details. The monitor worked just 3 days ago so I know that it does, or did, work with this configuration. The video card inside the 5150 is an aftermarket "hi-res" card that has a switch for selecting mono or color. I do know to change the motherboard dip switches …

Re: Burned CD Games Still Asking for CD
Posted on 2017-10-11, 19:45
Great information skitters! I will definitely look into all that. I've not had any luck finding a Turok noCD exe that will work for the version I have for some reason. Same with Moto Racer. But I was able to get System Shock 2 and AOE2 to work.

Just wanted to get some more eyes on this discussion here in the video thread. Over on the eBay thread there was a Dell OEM video card said to be a Geforce2 Ultra posted. However there is a discussion as to whether this is true and if it is actually a Quadro 2 Pro or another version of the Geforce …
