USBUHCIL.COM with USB mouse and PS/2 keyboard

Posted on 2024-04-20, 12:58

Hi everyone. I'm wondering if anyone has any idea on what I'm doing wrong here. I've got a PS/2 keyboard, and a USB mouse connected to my retro computer. It's an AMD K6-2 running on an Apollo MVP4 motherboard. I want to get the USB mouse working in DOS so I'm trying Bret Johnson's USB drivers . …

Re: DVD-RW reads CDR101 Not Ready in DOS

Glad that you got it work. For reference, could you please share the drive brands and models that respectively did not work and did ? Just for reference, I did not manage to get the DVD-RW to work at all. The drive that did not work is a BTC DRW1016IM 16x. I ended up replacing it with an LTN-526, a …

Thanks for your suggestions! What are you trying to read under DOS ? Just the Windows 98 CD. But it doesn't even attempt to read the disc, it seems? I don't think it's me having burned the disc improperly. When I insert my original Windows 95 CD it also doesn't do anything. I've renamed the driver …

DVD-RW reads CDR101 Not Ready in DOS

Posted on 2024-03-26, 20:45

Hey everyone. I'm setting up a new computer right now. I'm trying to use a DVD-RW since it came with the case, but I can't seem to use it in DOS. My understanding is usually you can just use these as regular CD drives, right? Per this post I switched over to VIDE-CDD.SYS (otherwise on a Win98 boot …

I got a RT4K as well and it's incredible how well it's able to do resolution switching. Still it's not perfect but the dev is committed to actively pushing firmware updates that resolve these issues. I've been testing it on various old PCs and the results are pretty amazing. I'm traveling right now, …

Re: Old CGA monochrome monitor color fidelity

Oh wow, I'm actually really surprised by your answers. I always assumed that it was a CGA adapter, because that's what people always told me it was as a kid, and I had no reason to doubt them. The thing is, though, we actually had a Hercules based computer as well, and that one was quite different …

Old CGA monochrome monitor color fidelity

Hi all, I've got a question for anyone who has a working CGA monochrome monitor setup. I used to have this as a kid, and still have the monitor (but nothing that connects to it), but at the moment I'm unable to test this myself. When I run DOSBox-X with cga_mono as the graphics mode, it looks like …

Re: Windows 3.1 arbitrary resolutions

Posted on 2021-12-17, 13:38

in PC Emulation
On real hardware that is probably difficult, as every clock(and it's resulting horizontal pixels) is generated using dividers. And for pretty much all MDA and newer cards, those timings have a base divider of either 9(MDA-compatible) or 8(CGA-compatible, as well as EGA and (S)VGA) pixel clocks, …

Windows 3.1 arbitrary resolutions

Posted on 2021-12-16, 14:39

in PC Emulation
Hi all. I was wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to set arbitrary resolutions in Windows 3.1—for example, 639x479 or 1366x768 or any other uncommon resolution. This is something that works fine on e.g. Windows 98 (on VMware Fusion) or Mac OS 9 on Sheepshaver, but I don't think I've ever seen …
