As for VGAcards, a number of old Oak and Trident TVGA isa cards can work in 8bit slots. see here Advise a good VGA card for 8-bit ISA slots?

With IDE, you wont ever get faster than ATA166 anyway. I'd just get a DOM, and call it a day. Maybe not this one, but this is what they look like. https://www.amazon.com/KingSpec-Vertical-Indu … t/dp/B0BN3V75PJ

Of course! I totally forgot about the infamous MWAVE cards. There *were* very early IBM HSC modems that were ISA. They used the isa plug and play bios extensions to get configured, and were basically just a crappy soundcard. See for instance, here, with this 'it's obviously lucent' and being 8bit …

The vast majority of ISA modems will be hardware UART (actual serial ports) based, and not crap winmodem HSC garbage. The IBM ones stand out prominently in my memory, as the mom&pop I worked for BITD got a shipment of them in 'real cheap', and they staunchly refused to work 'reliably' in anything …

Not exactly, there's an interesting thread out there on the interwebs about this topic. There are indeed some versions of the broadcomm chipset driver/software that support WPA2 on win9x, but it is very hit and miss which devices are actually supported. (This thread is mirrored kinda poorly (page 1 …

2gb is the fat16 limit, with 8gbbeing the usual lchs limit that needs broken. 48bit lba is needed for disks larger than 128gb, and for that you need at least win2k with 48bit atapi.sys. (system drive cannot be that size though!) EZBios should get you the large disk support you need, and play nice …

Personally, I'd have just used ezbios with the low mem relocation utility. 2gb is the fat16 limit, with 8gbbeing the usual lchs limit that needs broken. 48bit lba is needed for disks larger than 128gb, and for that you need at least win2k with 48bit atapi.sys. (system drive cannot be that size …

I used to own a 1530DM. It was weaksauce with neomagic video chip, but I recall that it could run NT4 like a boss (with caveats about the pcmcia slots), and could somewhat ok with win2k.

As for HOW: Cook up a dos networking stack on a boot floppy. All the support goodies should fit, if you are minimalistic on everything else. (basically command.com, io.sys, msdos.sys, himem.sys, emm386.exe, net.exe and pals) Once you have that up and working, use it to connect to a windows share …

I've Googled quite a bit and I don't think there is a way to get my data back :( And the drive was almost full too :( NO! Use a copy of Testdisk run from a USB stick. Tell it to deep scan for partitions. It scans for the actual filesystem signatures, and can reconstruct the screwed up partitions. …
Re: SBEMU: Sound Blaster emulation on AC97

I have a Toshiba (Satellite L755-S5214) with intel HDA, that straight up just hangs when SBEMU loads. This happens with both Jemmex, and Qemm, even when all the adapter region is excluded, and nothing is loaded high. Happens with dos6.22 and with freedos. I'll edit this post with the specific model …
Re: Mini ISA ROM Card

This is a very simple card with no mapper chips. As such, the largest contiguous block allowable would be 1 full segment, or 64k. The IBM PC specification only allotted for 384k of "adapter rom region" between 640k base memory and the top of the first megabyte. ROM-DOS cards use a method called " …

The only other one that can work is QEMM. JEMMEX is able to have loadable modules, and that is where qpiemu.dll comes in. It's an emulation module for quarterdeck's private api. You dont need this emulator, if the memory manager has it natively. QEMM is a quarterdeck product, and specifically, the …

In my tests, Dungeon Master claims to not detect the SB when started without command line options, but can use it just fine when invoked with the right switches to skip the questionaire. For some games, forcing the option might be valid, such as that one.
