Can the DOS in the Tandy-ROM be hacked to load an additional driver to make use of external storage-solutions zip/jazz or LPT2SCSI devices? Is this possible? I will test some VGA cards in my T1000RL/HD to "emulate" cloudschatz's solution. Would be nice to get the icon collection :) Thx! Not that I …

Reminds me of French airports running 3.11 There are mil and space spec x86 chips, most common being good ol 386dx chips which were found on space telescopes. Harris 286-25 came in a mil / aerospace spec as well

What was the last pci matrox to have 9x and 586 support? Probably 400 series I think not. Parhelia was targeted more for professionals, which were using NT for a while at that time (2002). There was no point in wasting resources for supporting dying home user OS. ME was only a couple years old. …

Posted on 2022-06-23, 17:34
Clean then ozone Peroxide and baking soda can be used also, if the cables are yellowed you could try retrobriting which combines peroxide and sunlight. Take care with the conductors themselves though peroxide + steel can be bad. Admittedly cigarette stink is quite difficult to remove completely but …

Im going to keep hunting for at the very least some ME drivers . .even if unofficial ones. 1) Matrox drivers are not open-source, so it's not possible to compile one. 2) No official driver was released, so it's not possible to make unofficial one via tweaking, like ATi Omega drivers. Back when …

Merely the ancient intel 80287 is a real 287 class FPU. The others have a more modern 387 core with an 287 pinout. Isn't the NMOS 287 more like an 8087 class FPU with a 286 cpu interface? And is an officially IEEE compliant instruction set. 8087 could actually outperform the 287 due to having its …

Re: AGP 1.0 vs PCI Graphics

You can theoretically get semi modern PCI graphics cards, whether they match your OS, desired driver version or game compatibility requirements is another matter. AGP 1 compatible VRS semi modern PCI will likely lean toward the modern PCI if your cpu can feed it. https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php …

I’ve exceeded motherboard memory limits in the past. In a few cases the board would count the extra memory but not use it. I had a later IBM 286 of some sort with 20mb installed it counted up but still a tad less than 16mb was usable
