Hey all,
I recently got a Diamond Monster 3D 4mb up and running in an old Pentium 133 machine and was super excited to take advantage of my card with Quake 1 and Tomb Raider. I know both look pretty great with this card in particular. Unfortunately I learned pretty quickly that these games don't run off the voodoo card fresh out of the box and need GLquake and some kind of patch for Tomb Raider to take advantage of the hardware. I unfortunately haven't had any success getting 2 different IDE CD drives to read CD-R discs and so don't have a great method of transferring data from my regular computer to my p133.
I've done a little bit of research and have found IDE to USB connectors/adaptors but I'm super unfamiliar with how this works. Would this be the best method to get GLquake and other patches onto the p133? Can somebody give me an idea of how to use these things? Do they plug directly into the HDD? Can someone recommend me a reliable one that would work properly? There's a bunch of different ones on Amazon, I don't wanna waste my money.
Any advice/tips would be appreciated. Thanks all.
