Hey all Setting up my new sys soon I’m wondering if I should install DOS7.1 separately along the planned W98SE install. I know that D7.1 comes preinstalled with W98, but is there any benefit in running it in a ‚clean‘ install alongside W98 on a separate partition? The main reason I’m asking is …

This is brilliant stuff!

Ok I just bought the one I linked with the buttons. Not enough space for the knob in my case unfortunately. Thanks!

Hey all I’m confused by the Gotek offerings. Been googling for over an hour now without clear answers. I haven‘t even figured out if the Amiga versions will just ‚run‘ on an IBM system… To make matters worse, I need an emulator without the knob which is too big for my usage scenario. Also, what …

I'll answer some more questions that came up: @ chinny22 I'll check out the fan noise first before switching fans, makes sense. I'll get adapters with master/slave jumpers as well. @Shponglefan What's also nice about newer PSUs is that they are not only modular but also a whole lot less ugly with …

Thanks for the valuable input so far Does the 440BX board use the 12V rail to some extend so that some of the load can be offloaded to that? I didn‘t see any reference to that in the manual. However, the manual suggests 10AMP as a minimum on the 5V rail, so I think that having 25A/125W on the 3.3V …

d3vilsadvocate, please tell me more about the monitor that you have decided to use here. I would like to know what the monitor's native resolution is, which inputs it has available, and if you need to have other devices connected to this monitor at the same time as your old-PC. You are probably not …

Hey guys I need some help finishing my upcoming build, which currently consists of the following parts: -Asus P3B 440BX motherboard with Intel Pentium I 1Ghz CPU -2x256MB RAM -Geforce 4 Ti 4200 GPU -Creative 5.1 Live Sound card -NEC PCI USB Card I plan to get: - Voodoo 2 cards in SLI is something I …

Hey all I'm still in the process of researching the ideal parts for my retro PC. Currently equipped with a P3B 440BX and looking for soundcards for DOS and a PSU. If I buy a newer PSU (i.e. Seasonic) with 1000W in total and 125W/25A on rails 3V and 5V but no -5V rail, will I still be able to run ISA …

...I'm struggling with my GPU purchase. On one hand, I'd like to get a Voodoo... ...Also I'm wondering if I could then output the signal via DVI to my current monitor (with an HDMI adapter) since I don't currently have the space for a newer monitor...? Do you have a specific game in mind for which …

I'm going down the rabbit hole: after a bit of research I bought an Asus P2B-D 440BX board with a P3 Tualatin 1Ghz preinstalled and 3x256MB RAM Windows 98 natively supports only 512 MB RAM. If you go higher than that, you will experience system instability. There are third-party patches which can …

GeForce 4 Ti cards are overall very compatible with DOS and Win9x games. Solid choice, though probably bottlenecked on this system. VooDoo2 as Glide accelerator makes sense as well. You can use a passive DVI-HDMI adaptor on GF4Ti with most monitors. The V2 is VGA only, meaning you'll need an active …

Hey all I'm going down the rabbit hole: after a bit of research I bought an Asus P2B-D 440BX board with a P3 Tualatin 1Ghz preinstalled and 3x256MB RAM (3 different brands lol, what could possibly go wrong?). I decided to start *somewhere* and then build things around that. I'm struggling with my …

Thanks for this. Thanks to these drivers I was able to get the old game BC Racers running using midi sounds with DOSBOX. I made a comment here on how this works: https://www.dosbox.com/comp_list.php?showID=3316&letter=B
