It may be a stupid question, but what happens when you're set to sign in using your MS account and at some point the pc is offline? You are still able to sign in using the last known password, right?

Re: Is this CF-IDE adapter a viable option for DOS?
Posted on 2021-06-11, 14:44
I'm still looking at my options and I realized "133x" in the not-so-expensive cards might mean only 15/20 MB/s , which I assume is low even for DOS gaming... The question is, does the socket 7 motherboard you intend to use support UDMA? It was not common, UDMA was introduced in 1998. If not, you …

If they work, they work. These are passive devices, nothing to worry much about. For the first one you'll need a cable and a place to mount it in the case. The second one can go directly on the IDE connector of the motherboard, but you obviously loose the option to add a slave device.
Re: Worst tips from tech support

Many companies efforts to become "Agile" are really just an excuse to wrestle development control away from devs and into the hands of Sales and Marketing. Often times this results in the opposite intent of agile, which was simply created to remove barriers and time syncs from individuals and teams …

My 750Ti strongly disagrees that your 1080 is old. (also stuck with an LGA1155 CPU from 2011 so next upgrade will cost a lot...)

Re: Acer Travelmate 230 drivers
Posted on 2021-05-27, 09:02
You won't find any official package/download because the 230 series laptops came originally with Windows XP. You can identify the components, for example Intel VGA 845 and search Win98 drivers for it (by Intel, not Acer). I don't know if all the 230 models have exactly the same components, I have a …
Re: Convert Teledisk or Kyroflux formats to IMG/IMA?
Posted on 2021-05-26, 06:40
About Teledisk: yes you can, but you will obviously get a working image only if there are no "special" things in the image. In other words, only if you could get a working .img/.ima in the first place. Teledisk (not the shareware version I believe but I'm not sure on that) has a TD2IMA.BAT file that …

If you can't specify the HDD parameters in the BIOS but only select from pre-defined types, your best chance is to install some dynamic drive overlay software (DDO). That would be the easiest/quickest way, another solution would be the XTIDE bios.

Not suggesting that this is the case, but BH6s are notorious for bad capacitors. I haven't seen a single one that hasn't developed issues until now. Are you sure the timing is not just a coincidence? Just throwing in an idea to consider.
