It really depends on what you want to do with it. Good DOS experience, vs good Windows experience vs good 3D Acceleration are usually pick two out of three.

Hobbes is still up? I thought it had been taken down at some point. Time to download it all tonight.

I would greatly enjoy a copy of both that disk and the Hobbes CD 😀 I am in the process of building an IBM 5x86 OS/2 Warp Connect workstation 😀

No, they were not. O_O <-- I'm in the corner watching this trainwreck unfold while still enjoying XCOM 2 years after release thanks to excellent support, DLCs, and mods... Have any of you X-COM lovers taken note of Stirring Abyss on Steam? Looks like an amazing Terror from the Deep meets Darkest …

MiniGL looks substantially worse to me.. It is probably cutting corners in the filtering department.

Re: ES1688 MPU401/onboard waveTable activation problem
Posted on 2020-12-25, 17:27
OK, if you are *that* sure then the wavetable probably needs another utility to initialize.. The problem is that I have no idea what that sound card or wavetable actually is. Googling the model name results in hits for two different cards, which may well be the same thing: MEDIAWAVE MW-0203151 …

Call me crazy but if I were to bet money I would put it on those SMD electrolytics having leaked onto their pads and causing cold solder issues until the card warms up..

It actually exists on UH19 as an Acer board (Same difference): http://www.win3x.org/uh19/motherboard/show/169 Dumping the BIOS should be simple aside from not knowing what particular IC it is on, I will try. As for the manual, yeah I can do that as well.

It seems the MUNT VSTi bundled with the 32-bit version is actually 64-bit and won't load. Intentional? Scratch that, it's just be being stupid. However, this seems to be a valid concern: The x64 version and x86 version of the software seem to share all global options, so you can't configure them …
Re: Recomended OS, software and games for a late 286?

386SXs from the same year and speed as late 286s were SLOWER running Window 3.x in 386 Enhanced mode or Standard Mode than a 286 running Windows 3.x in Standard mode. As I posted earlier the early 386SXs were a con job by the computer industry. Just saying.. You are completely discounting the fact …

It's a bloated load of shit. I've got a boxed copy of IBM OS/1.3EE. Wouldn't touch it a barge poll. IBM were stupid in insisting on keeping it 286 compatible. Total waste of resources. Well, yes, OS/2 is too heavy for typical 286 machines. On the other hand, it's the most advanced system one can …
