EMT4WIN is free and is what I used to image all my floppies. http://www.os2site.com/sw/util/disk/floppy/index.html Scroll down and download EMT4WIN v4.39. It run on Windows 10.
Re: Windows for Workgroups TCP/IP Disk

I don't use DHCP here, everything has hard-coded IP addresses. I don't know if DHCP works with tcp32b.exe anyway. tcp23b.exe supports DHCP. I've used it in the past and I have it setup in PCEM and am able to access Google.com with Netscape 3. https://i.postimg.cc/50NrS38c/image.png Certain versions …
Re: Is there a patch for 3D Windows XP.scr Screen Saver to work on new OSes?
Posted on 2023-10-04, 16:38
I'm not set up to test this right now, so this is completely blind, but... Assuming your .scr file is 1634304 bytes, open it in a hex editor, go to offset 0x4827 and change it from 0x74 to 0xeb. That should ignore the result of the OS check at least. Other thing may still be broken later on, no …

Re: Doing a custom machine with 86Box
Posted on 2023-04-12, 17:33
Duh, I missed that your are on MAC. 86Box can be used with different VMs by specifying it in the command line: 86Box -C config.cfg or 86Box -P path/to/vm The default name for the config is CONFIG.CFG but you could rename it so you could multiple configs and launch the one of your choice. This is how …

That's not possible, you are restricted to the ones included. It's quite a huge list, you can probably find something very close to your target machine. There's no way to switch machines, you need to use a manager such as Winbox. https://github.com/86Box/WinBox-for-86Box
Re: Using pcem with a XP guest
Posted on 2023-04-11, 21:29
Not to hijack this thread but I decided to try 86Box with XP. It has more options for CPU such as Pentium II XEON, 100MB NIC and no 512MB RAM limit. PCEM9.png For some reason XP picked up the XEON as a Celeron but there is defintely a difference in performance especially the extra RAM and fast …

Since you mentioned WinVice.. I have fond memories of running SNES9x on that Pentium MMX 166 w/ XP. Frame skip was on auto, I believe. Still, Tiny Toons Adventures ran smoothly. It was really fun, thanks to XP. Btw, the memory settings aren't ideal. Please try 768 MB instead of 512 MB. SP2 is a bit …

Re: Windows XP how much people still use for MAIN OS?
Posted on 2022-11-21, 20:27
I was using XP as my main OS till about 2 years ago. Main reason I switched was lack of modern browsers. The available Mozilla browsers are woefully outdated and the chrome ports (360Chrome) do a better job but are glitchy and lack DRM support. I find XP runs remarkably well on a modern Windows 10 …

From what I remember (it's been a while) Windows 98 didn't have good USB support unless you had a driver for the USB drive itself - this was one of the things they added in Windows ME.
Re: PSA: Fake eBay Listing for Brand New Video Cards including 3dfx & NVidia

Anatomy of a scam: Someone who just joined and has a listing with zero feedback. Yes, you are protected if you use CC/PayPal but bear in mind it may take a while before your CC/Paypal account is credited the amount lost on a bogus listing. I buy from Ebay all the time, never got scammed buying new/ …
Re: Wonders of 486 DX4, Treasures inside
Posted on 2022-07-18, 15:56
Nice! I've always had LED MHZ displays for my 386/486 machines although the fastest I ever owned was a DX2/66. I owned a Cirrus Logic 5426 VLB card w/1MB ram for my 486. It wasn't probably the best/fastest but it had VESA extensions built-in to its BIOS so I never needed Sci-tech occupying any of my …

I've owned several inkjets over the course of my PC years. My first was the original HP Deskjet. Not the 500 or plus, just plain old Deskjet. Then, as now, I only used it for the occasional resume, invoice etc. This is a problem when it comes to inkjets which are meant for continuous use. Sporadic …

What you need: Controller (any type) for hard drive, best to go with SCSI. I have PTSD from the time when I was a PC tech and had to service PS/2's of all types. Model 80's like yours that had adaptec SCSI adapters but from what I remember the most common HD type was ESDI. Did not know about the …
Re: Tell me what it's like to own a GUS
Posted on 2022-04-16, 11:02
I owned a GUS MAX when I had my 486DX 33. In a nutshell: If your game had GUS support it was awesome (very few titles I owned). If your game only had SB support GUS sucked (it's SB emulation was horrible). Mostly good for demos and trackers. After about 6 months I replaced it with an SB AWE64 ISA. …

Re: Hayes modem's CONNECT speed result?
Posted on 2022-03-08, 11:50
ATW0 will get you the DCE connect speed which is measured in bits per second. If you purchased a Hayes 9600 baud modem that meant your theoretical top data transfer speed would be 9,600 bits per second. For some reason all DCE equipment (modems/routers) are always speed rated at bits/second yet …
Re: Hayes modem's CONNECT speed result?
Posted on 2022-03-07, 11:54
If you're seeing 'CONNECT 57600' that's the connection speed between your modem and PC (Data Terminal Equipment). In order to display the actual connect speed of the modem and remote host you have to use some Hayes commands (ATW0) so it will display the DCE speed (Data Carrier Equipment). https:// …
