While we are talking about addon's I used to install Plus! mainly to use DriveSpace 3 which I used on my 420MB "Archive" disk on my 486. Primary drive was 1GB so trying to squeeze the main lan party games of the time C&C, RA, Warcraft 1 and 2, Doom 1 and 2, space for other games got rather tight, …

Yeh the question is wayyyyy to general. What hardware? Any OS from Apple/MS in the last 5 years can surf the web and type up assignments. but may be to resource heavy for your hardware. In which case some Linux variant is fine, bit then you may be better off getting a cheap old computer that can run …

"It’s NOT a Pavillion" I know what you mean! Only really ever came across corporate range of HP's in the beginning, nice machines to work on in a office where time is money. Then one day I had to add some ram to a Pavillion, which you had to remove the CPU heatsink to access, really? wtf HP! You …

As long as both are 12MB the'll run in SLI with the reference drivers, brand doesn't matter. or if you use something like the fastvoodoo drivers they will work with any pairing even mixing 8 or 12 MB cards, although the 12 will be "downgraded" to 8MB for the SLI setup. I had a P3 1Ghz with a Ti4600 …

Also have a Netware server low, low down on my project list. Only used 3.12 in a lab but did keep the 1 (or was it 2) user licence disk. I'll have a look and see if I have here in the UK with me, its not like you will have more concurrent connections on a retro network anyway. I love physical …

The order is com, exe, bat your path looks correct, but if you wanted to cheat you could rename/delete windows ping and copy mtcp's ping into the c:\windows\command folder. This is where I always stick pkunzip and mouse.com for the exact same reason, rather then adding yet another folder to path
