I've always really liked Windows ME. I only recently got a copy of Windows ME and installed it on a socket 423 Pentium 4 system, and I agree! Windows ME feels really snappy and the bootup times are better than 98SE. I'm not too worried about real-mode DOS support since I have plenty of other actual …

I've spent way too much on my collection of computers, which I lovingly refer to as my "museum."

I pulled out my AMD 486DX/4 100MHz system. Here are the specs: AMD 486DX/4 100MHz CPU Asus VL/I486SV2GX4 with 256KB L2 (not working) WinBond VLB hdd controller ATI Mach32 2MB VLB 32MB 60ns FPM 850MB Conner Peripherals hdd 3COM 3C515 100Mbit ISA NIC MediaVision Pro Audio Spectrum 16 MS-DOS 6.20 and …

Agreed with Anonymous Coward, your YouTube videos are great! I prefer networking as much of my legacy systems as I can so I can avoid sneakernet or floppy emulation as much as possible. I'll have to pull out my AMD 486DX/4 100 with 16KB L1 to see how it compares to your 8KB CPU if I get a chance. …

So after reading various unrelated threads, I came across the idea that some PCI cards don't handle systems with > 64MB of RAM. I temporarily removed 64MB of my 128MB but no joy. I'm primarily focusing on using the 3COM 3C905-TX PCI card using a 3C905B-TX driver diskette which allegedly is backward …

If someone wants to do a run and sell me one, and if the price is reasonable, I wouldn't mind buying one of these for my IBM PS/2 running OS/2!

Technically it is possible to just use a single configuration file in DOS. The CONFIG.SYS INSTALL= statement can be used to load almost anything you would put into AUTOEXEC.BAT, save for SET= statements. But honestly it is better to just leave them as separate configuration files to avoid any …

I used System Commander back in the day as a paid purchase. I used it to multi-boot many versions of DOS, Windows 95, NT4 and OS/2 for application compatibility testing on a 486 system. Worked really well, too! I had purchased Boot Commander + Partition Magic, which was a competitor to System …
