Start the command prompt, "Set temp=d:/temp" (or whatever drive letter your usb uses) "Set tmp=d:/temp" And run the dx7 setup from that same command prompt, it should work, unless it doesn't cause it's Win98...

The problem is I have only USB that works as another drive and all space is taken by Win98 and drivers also I tried install DX7 from USB that has lots of space. ;) Temporary set the temp and tmp values to a directory on your usb drive, extract the dx7 setup.exe on it too. Any useless files from …

Do you have another drive on that machine? If so, use that one for the temp directory. And make some space by deleting help files from the windows directory if you haven't done so already.

That's a weird behaviour. Your bluescreens happen when you tried to play an audio or midi file? Did the card show up in the Multimedia control panel? About your DOS config.sys file, does it have himem.sys loaded? You don't have to load scpena.exe from config.sys, you can do it from the prompt. The …

BeOS needs a patch for AMD processors starting with the Athlon series. And it needs a patch to work on machines with more than 512MB.

I have not heard much about this OS? What are your views? It started in the early 90s, changed architectures 3 times (from the original running on AT&T DSP chips to Motorola PowerPC 603/604 and finally started supporting the Intel Pentium with the release of R3). Compared to what was available at …

It was also mentioned in PC Magazine review of the card. After looking at the magazines dates, maybe they were talking about WinDoom.

You could maybe edit the .inf to force Windows to identify it as a display driver, as far as results you'll get, don't expect much... There's vogonsdrivers.com, you'll have to PM whoever is in charge of it. You might temporary use a filehosting website too.

Good of you to have insisted for the drivers! Uploading the docs and samples would be nice too, please. Maybe the card isn't intended to be used as a display device except to output whatever it is programmed to do specifically.

If you want a copy of the files yes, xcopy should work fine. If you want a raw disk image, use dolly, it requires a 286 with 4MB only. https://www.sac.sk/download/utildisk/dolly.zip

You could use a parallel port Compact Flash adapter along with an old version of Ghost, dolly or any Dos based disk imaging utility. Or g4u with an MCA network card, depending on how much memory your machine has. How big is your hdd?
