good input. Thx :) I played around with the NANOSCR variables and when i set it to 8 (previously 565) it did not give me the "1" error but the "255" one (idk if that improves things or not). i also tried to use this version (https://archive.org/details/msdos_dillodos) + copy the version in the link …

hey thanks mscdex for giving nice pointers :) I tried what you suggested (and i had to comment out the last row in dillo.bat that executed the vcls in order to catch what it said on the screen). When running it, it loads for a bit and then gives me "Exit code: 1" and an elapsed time. It creates a " …

Hi, So i have been setting up one of my machines (an Amrel 4022 clone called "SLT480DLB" - wrote about it here also: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=74431). After struggling with CF-card corruption (i have a Transcend cf80 industrial 1GB card that i used to have split in two partitions …

Thermalwrong, wow. My hat goes off to you Sir for this detective work. Thank you very much :) It is very interesting to read about this model/series of laptops in that advert. I wasn't aware that it had this (huge) docking station. And i'm extremely grateful that this drivers page that you found …

Hornsk001, you got PM :) hello my03, unfortunately the newer version of your eprom does not work in my v286p. I suspect yours already has vga. mine only has cga. my v286p works with your eprom but without any output on the screen. Does your external screen socket have 15 pins or 9? Best regards …

Hi, my advice would be to seek out either Executor or Fusion where fusion would be the preferred one to use (LOL, now i expect Jorpho here to literally explode :-D No offence, but this is too funny actually ;) ) ... for anyone not reading the entire thread ;) On a serious note. I did use Executor in …

could it just be that this isn't really a dos compatible parallel adaptor? One thing i noticed (on my own reader) is that it seems to be very picky about what cards it wants to play nicely with. I basically had issues with 512mb and a 32mb one, but another 32mb card worked great. Could it be that …

Sure, i cleaned out everything SB-related from dos (i learned that the Yamaha opl3-sax drivers will "carry over" into w98 dos). But as far as i can see, i had to alter the irq in autoexec.bat vs. what they were defined as inside w98. After moving the irq to the next slot, it started to work. So, no …

Hmmmm. It keeps driving me nuts... So i updated the SB drivers to (i believe) the latest msdos ones and when i issue the "sb-inst" it passes through everything (base adress, irq, dma)... but when i try to start it (either by using the kyrandi3.bat or the main.exe), it always complains that it can't …

Hi all, just to rule out any misunderstandigs: yes, i do indeed have the GOG version (which i bought with the purpose of moving the game over to one of my older machines to run it there) but as stated here above, the GOG is purely ScummVM so it haven't got several files that should be there. I also …

Hi, I bought this game today on GOG, with the sole intention of NOT running it on ScummVM, but rather to run it on one of my more vintage machines (Toshiba Satellite pro 480CDT or Libretto 110CT), but of course i stumbled into issues. First of all, i can't get the audio working (both these machines …

Hey Hornsk001, thanks for the advice. I did manage to open it to some extent, enough to reach the bios-batteries that i wanted to replace. While i did put a "Saft" battery in there, it still complains that it can't remember the settings so i will re-wire the battery quite soon (with fresh cabling). …
