I have this strange urge to replace my 386SX25 PC with a 286-16, but that will require some kind of XT-IDE solution. I went online to look at what options I have, and came back completely confused. Anyone want to recommend me an open source, preferrably AIO XT-CF project that is through hole?

I must have missed this announcement entirely, just stumbled on it in my YouTube feed. This thing has a VERY charming sound.
Re: Which video card for Quake 2? (1997-era 3D accelerators; Canopus Pure3D?)
Posted on 2022-02-08, 05:35
Any card that has a decent OpenGL driver support. If you want a cheap card for Quake 2 look no further than the GeForce2 MX, GeForce4 MX or Geforce FX lines.

Avernum: Escape from the Pit I spent the past few days doing some research on this game and Eye of the Beholder 2. I loaded both up and messed around with them. I tried EOB2 on my DOS PC as well as modern PC with The All-Seeing Eye. This morning, I spent an hour on Avernum, slowly going through the …

Doom Metal never worked for me, but I'll give it a listen anyway. The albums I'm listening to most these days are Iotunn - Access All Worlds , Vektor - Terminal Redux and Kreator - Gods of Violence (guilty pleasure lol). At the moment I'm listening to Haggard - Eppur Si Muove though. \nn/ Also I …

Spent the whole day restoring this beautiful butterfly: vacuuming, cleaning, setting up Mhz display, lubricating bearings, installing DOS, troubleshooting interrupts, setting up sound, cleaning again, etc... Did that case come with the U5S-40 or did you put that in? Jealous. I really want a U5S-40 …

All this Freelancer talk, I wanted to ask: Have you guys played Starlancer or Tachyon: The Fringe?

Starlancer in particular was the only game that came close to …

Speaking of Quantums - the PC I bought came with a Quantum Fireball SE 4GB - they seem to sell for quite a bit on eBay, is there a particular reason for this? Because some people like the sound of specific HDDs and don't care if they could have solid state storage for much cheaper? The only " …
