Ran SIV32X on a Nexterm RT-500 thin client Thank you for checking SIV out on the Geode and the link to the Nexterm RT-500 details. To me SIV looks to have done OK, did you spot anything that needs adjusting? SIV was unable to find any SMBIOS/DMI information and searching through the .DMI file I …

What exactly are you looking to hook up via USB in DOS then? Are there DOS drivers for these USB devices you want to use? Other than storage devices? Keyboard for example. There are ways to connect a keyboard to the 200LX, one of them being infrared, the other via the serial port, the latter is …

"Cardware 7.0 from APSoft", Apears to need windows 3.11 at a guess. It won't install in plain DOS. The cwdw.exe downloadable from their website is a Windows 32bit app that gives the choice of creating install floppies or unpacking in a directory, in it there's a DOS install.exe and a Win 3.1x setup …

The device line with cardid should also have the full pathname to the cardid library, cardid.ini I think, check the manual. Did you install CardView properly?

What laptop model? Any Pcmcia related option in the Bios? Try using sscbti.sys and cs.exe from Cardsoft/32 https://www.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php … driverid=576348 If that fails, use Cardware 7.0 from APSoft, there is a trial version available. https://www.tssc.de/

Hello All, I'm trying to find the DOS PCMCIA card and socket service software. I had downloaded heaps of "cardsoft.zip" files. But they won't work with the "Texas Instruments PCI-1420" PCMCIA chipset my laptop has. I thought the card soft software was free to use for the DOS version... But can't …

Cardid.exe is mostly useless, csalloc.exeis usually needed to reserve memory if you have emm386.exe loaded with that memory range excluded, that depends of the card you use and what its documentation says. Otherwise loading only ss365sl/ss365lp and cs.exe as "device=" statements should report no …

Do you have Dos6.22 and Win3.11 installed already? Try the utility here to detect your pcmcia chipset: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=285316#p285316 Not sure it will work under Win95. Your chipset is probably a ToPic95 though with a PCIC 16bit compatible mode that you can set in the bios. Do …

Managed to install NT4 on the PWS433 Thank you for checking out SIV on NT4.

I noticed that SIV did not report the Cirrus Chip …
