Re: Sound Blaster 16 WDM Drivers (attached). Incompatible with DOS games. Please help.

I also have CD Audio working from mounted images on various systems that use VxD drivers (the last official Creative ones are VxD drivers), so it is definitely not as straight forward as "VxD does not work with CD Audio in conjunction with Daemon Tools / Images..." I read the entry on …

I never had any problems, ever, on any system running a SB16 (CT1740 - I have several systems with this card) in conjunction with the latest official W9x drivers from Creative. I have often read about Digital/Analogue CD-Audio not working within Windows using Daemon Tools, but could never, ever …

wow, a genuine 486-SX16. The only way I was able to reach those low speeds with an 486-SX was using a 486-SX33, which is rather common and halfin the clock speed/setting it to low in the BIOS.

Is it just me, or do the units look like their animation is half as fluid as in the original from 1995...? I sincerely hope for them that this is heavily WIP, and that more of half of the animation frames are still missing. Looks like "Army Men go C&C"

I'd like to apologize for my very late reply, however I archived a lot Intel download links to archive.org between October 9th and October 10th. I then pasted the links in a text file that I'd like to share now. Hopefully it'll be useful to someone and they can get the driver without needing to …

Is that an AN430TX? Seems to have a Vibra 16C and the spot for the integrated GPU seems to be vacant. It probably would have been an integrated ATI Rage II + DVD, or something similar.

These Compaq LTE laptops stores part of the BIOS setup and diagnostics on the hard drive, without it you won't be able to boot PC from a hard drive. You must fix that floppy in order to create a BIOS setup/diagnostics partition on a hard drive. I have two such LTE 486 laptops and both suffer from …

Can confirm the Saitek X6-33M to be DOS compatible out of the box. As expected, the buttons and axis are distributed through player1 and player2. (2 axis and 4 buttons each.) I played through Tie Fighter with X6-33M this year.

Bought the last piece missing for my SuperSocket 7 build: a CD-ROM analog audio cable. Oh shit these things are so annoying. Back when I started this hobby I was putting together my first PCs and the things I found I needed and couldn't find were bewildering. Analogue CD cables, screws, working IDE …

Found this AMD heat sink in an e-waste dumpster today. Does anyone now what AMD socket is this for? They are surely AM2 and Socket 939 compatible, I am however sure that they will also fit Socket 940, as I have recently bought two old stock ones of these for use in my dual Opteron Socket 940 server …

Remember, DOS 7.0/7/1 do use more conventional memory out of he box. I think DOS=NOAUTO takes care of that. Aye, almost completely. On a related note, the only software that was giving me headaches was some third party PCMCIA driver once that I couldnt get working under 7.0/7.1. Other than that I …

I would argue this is less about the necessity of having 6.22 present when also rocking 98, but more of a preference. One could argue that most ppl here never stumbled upon software that would run in genuine 6.22- but not in a 7.0/7.1 environment. Also other borderline scenarios come to mind, for …

Thanks for your help. I found V1.3.10.0 driver from 2009 archive of Silicon Image official website and that seems to work with Windows 98. Flashed IDE mode BIOS V5.5.0.0. I just checked and although the readme files from the 1.3.10.0_x86 driver do not mention Win98 anymore, it's just a neglect, and …

1] Simplest method would be to have 6.22 and W9x on two different HDDs. Boot the desired HDD, voila. 2] Second simplest method would be to have them on same HDD, but on their own respective primary partitions. Use a bootmanager (for older systems, for example "Smart Boot Manager") to boot the …

How do you know that his adapter isn't already running in SATALink (Ultra) mode as opposed to SATARaid (RAID) mode? I guess because there are no drives found at windows installation :) Anyways, for Windows 9x, you have to use the v1.2.0.5 driver that is labelled xp-2k, which also works for Win9x. …
