Isn't there also a (storage) modifier for 'new' required or is this handled transparently?

Watch out for the capacitors on these P4 boards ... all of the P4 boards I bought had faulty ones. Are you in Vienna?

Depending on your timings L2 can either be slower or quite a bit faster than no 2nd level cache. Seek rams in DIP format on ebay - 32KiB/15ns ones are the most common.

DOS Do U feel all versions of DOS equal? All the way from CPM prototypes with FAT8 only all the way up to FreeDOS 1.4 not excluding MS-DOS 8.0 ? Because if U wrote just "DOS",U just added equal votes for all DOSes...including MS-DOS 4.0, 4.01 & 8.0 & also for 1.x & earlier,which cannot be installed …

Bought an Acer 2560x1440 "gaming" screen to try the 3x upscale option of the OSSC and it does only work in DOS text mode - perfect picture. "320x200" does not work though. The problem seems to be related to the OSSC as the LED is turning red at that mode... one has to get the Pro version because …
Re: Unreal 1 - What is your opinion about it?
Posted on 2025-02-21, 16:56
It was interesting from a technical standpoint but as a game I did not like it at all - I was pretty disappointed by its style & aesthetics. Only thing I really like about is the flyby at the beginning... that was really cool.

Nice one, does it pass-through the refresh rate? Like 1600x1200 144hz? There's any refresh rate (hz) limit imposed by ossc itseld? Best regards As far as I can tell - yes, the refresh rate is untouched which can be an unpleasant surprise if you're on a television not supporting rates in excess of …

After a LONG time I finally got to buy an OSSC and try it with some of my old PCs... I have to admit it's pretty nice!(It would be prefect if more monitors had a vertical resolution of 1200 pixels) Only drawback one needs a monitor/TV able to display refresh rates higher than 60hz. I have some CRTs …

I managed to repair a 237-pin ZIF socket (socket 3), it is a socket 235 now: A motherboard I was trying to test had issues with the CPU socket. After some deliberation I though of three options to fix the board: repair the socket, replace the socket or remove the socket and solder the CPU straight …
Re: Super annoyed by eBay sellers jacking up prices and inflating shipping

Shipping seems to have gotten more expensive and people a bit more greedy - nice retro combo. Up to 450 Euro for a Pentium60 board. If I really want something I'll buy it on ebay because some of the German sellers are expensive but trustworthy. Only cheap older stuff I can find on there is from …
