Hi all,
I am building a mid-90s era pc, with intended OS to be Dos 6.22 and Windows 3.1. (maybe Windows 95 and 98 on other SD cards to swap in). I sort of missed the DOS era of computing/gaming, so a lot of this is new to me.
I have obtained a Gateway Intel LT430TX motherboard, but it did not come with a drivers disk. I was wondering if I need drivers for this board at all? It has an onboard ATI 3D video accelerator, so I would think it would need them?
For other reference, here are the parts I have obtained so far:
CASE: Evercase ECE0229LP microATX case
PSU: 170W
HARD DISK: IDE to SDHC card adapter (with 8GB SD card to be used as main hard drive)
RAM: 256MB (two 128MB sticks) 168pin SDR SDRAM PC-133 3.3v
MOBO: Gateway Intel LT430TX Socket 7 (with ATI Rage II 264GT soldered on motherboard)
CPU: Pentium MMX 233 MHZ
SOUND CARD: DRSOUND (Digital Research) Advanced 16-bit plug&play (ESS audiodrive chipset)
OPTICAL: TOSHIBA XM-3101BME SCSI CDROM Drive (Caddy-style cdrom drive)
SCSI CONTROLLER : Adaptec AVA-1502I ISA to SCSI Host 16 Bit Adapter Card
FLOPPY: NEC FD1231T 3.5" Floppy Disk Drive IDE
