Its logical, because download 250 demos per files is not fun, waste of time, if someone want 1 demo, he dont need the package and they are 4 GB files, not 15 GB. Im not sure about it, but there maybe some todyas FTP client is clever enough to open zip files and enable to download only part of them …

This reminds me that I should go through my stash of drives and see which ones I should keep for imaging purposes. Back when I used Alcohol 120%, I don't remember having issues with needing a specific drive to image anything. Yeah Me neither on having issues with drives. At the time seemed any that …

This is where a TL866 comes in handy. Best $ spent on something thought would used only once or twice but it has more than paid for it self in terms of the hours saved over time. Curious which Giga board you have ? Odd that you have a 2Mb bios chip but only flashing with a 1Mb (128K) bios. Probably …

Which CT model Vibra ? Did you try with BIOS set to PCI instead of ISA ? I know sounds wrong but... Have a Awe32 CT-3990 that gave me similar issues on one specific Pentium board. Found out by trial and error that the BIOS was not truly allowing IRQ7 to be used for PnP ISA when BIOS was set for ISA. …

Well now you are changing things a bit, just admit it that when you quoted me and the SHW-16H5 and then included the part with it on Ebay for 1 buck you really never looked. If you are going to try and be accurate in this topic at least be accurate in what a specific drive goes for and not change to …

None of the above games worked when copied with the SHW-16H5S.

The green and white should be USB …

Yeah back in mid 2000's had a few LiteOns and they copied nearly everything I owned w/o issue though never had Quake 4 or Fifa which is on the ND-4571A list as well as the SHW-16H5S which I still own. Did use Clone CD for some but the tricky ones required Alcohol.

For CD games Alcohol 120 is probably the best and you can get older 30day trial versions at oldversion dot com. The oldest version 1.4.7 .CHM help file says: Pentium Class PC with Windows 95(osr2)/98/ME/NT4(sp5)/2000/XP Operating System...They also have older versions of Daemon Tools

yep ! Check the plastic cam as one of mine did that and was a white nylon type and not ABS or PVC type. Took a few different glues to find one that worked but it did.

You will need to diagnose the PS/2 ports. It is possible that the support circuitry for those ports is broken. If you haven't already, get some contact cleaner and run it through both CPU ports and the PS/2 keyboard ports. Then if still no PS/2 keyboard, you will need to break out the multimeter, …

Because its one package with hundreds Win98 games, such size make sense, its still 1/10 of size of modern Call of Duty... if all Windows 98 drivers would be packaged in file archive they would have similar size. Yes but think you miss my point about the file size on Vogons, how about this: current …

Hmm have you tried Archive.org ? Just noticed the 1700+ files at Vogons Drivers is 73Gb. The older 98 demos package is near 15GB and if the newer one is larger then you are talking about adding ONE package that is over 20% of the entire current driver library size.

If you are SCSI familiar then the PCI SCSI card idea may work easiest, get like an Adaptec 2940 or equal. If set to 10Mb for that device ID should be OK. Or set up the Pentium box with original controller. One quirk could be if the data was compressed or encrypted then you would need an app (or the …
