all I found was the phone program. I wonder if the phone program can open them though. Or the player is bundled.

U likely have the wrong HAL during install. Thats why you only see 1 cpu. During setup you press F7 instead of F6 when it asks to press F6 for raid controller I think And becasue you do not have proper ACPI you are going to want either MPS Multiprocessor, or ACPI Multiprocessor PC but be warned I …
Re: Windows 98se crashes with PCMCIA cf Adapter and card
Posted on 2021-02-23, 13:19
it very well could be the way the CF card is formated or it may have a damaged partition table that windows does not like or windows doesn't like the way its partition table is even if its not bad. Usually a program like partition magic can fix it.

Love it or hate it. It's a matter of taste. Shipping was a killer but all in all for such a rare and unique case I was happy to get it for what i paid. Feast your eyes on the Asus Vento 3600, a rare and beautiful case from circa 2005.
Re: Voodoo for DOS/W98SE gaming ?

V3s are the most compatible voodoos. But the general trick for voodoo compatibility is voodoo environmental variables and the version of the glide.ovl file. So generally a voodoo 3 for example can just run the Glide2x.ovl and then you are going to do Voodoo2 environmental variables and the game will …

maybe it doesn't matter, maybe it does. WHo knows. All I know is I set up my boot drive as primary master and my CD as 2ndary master, and thats always worked for me. If you can't get DDO to work there is always other options like XTIDE BIOS

Actually I take back what I said about the Cougar's cache being stuck in Write-Through mode - my own Cougar II arrived, and it's got a surface-mounted CY7C188 dirty TAG chip in addition to the 32Kx8 regular TAG. My guess is just that the OPTi 499 isn't the fastest chipset in the world. :P All the …

you didn't say anything about it so I have to mention it. The pinouts of the audio are silkscreened RGGL on header 3. Then check the back of your CD player and make sure its RGGL the same. If not than you need to rewire your cable.

well those qfps were baked onto the cards in an oven, so they will come off and on the same way, hot air and lots of flux. Simply requires the proper tools. https://cdn-shop.adafruit.com/970x728/3941-04.jpg
