Sounds like the website is now only available in English (ultimate retro was multilingual). Is there any plan to restore the translation feature?

I hope the HTTP version will come back soon. It makes more sense to download drivers from vintage computers directly, instead of having to use an other device and, then, transfer stuffs to the target machine.

Actually, Ultimate Hardware works fine even with Internet Explorer 2 and 3. You can perform search with these ancient browsers and the output is perfectly readable even without CSS. These ancient browsers don't support UTF-8 (that character encoding is supported by IE4 and later) but the text is …

I installed last night the final batch of updates and I can report the following(...) 4494528: DESTROYS INSTALLATION ROUTINE Did you try to fix the issue by re-register some DLLs ? regsvr32 MSI.DLL regsvr32 MSIHND.DLL regsvr32 MSISIP.DLL Source: https://msfn.org/board/topic/171814-posready-2009- …

Thank you so much for your reports, nd22 :happy: While it's a shame some recent updates for Windows Embedded/POSReady 2009 require SSE2 instructions set, it's fine most recent updates still don't require it. We are now on the final month of support! There could be some updates in the next month. The …

Almost nobody still uses a Pentium III or Athlon XP, especially on POSReady or Windows 7. However, some people (including myself) have noticed the problem related to the recent updates on both operating systems if the computer hasn't a SSE2-compliant processor. So, I suspect somewhere in the …

Although I still use older systems on relatively recent OS, I've never been aware about a SSE1 CPU requirements for any Microsoft updates. You wrote "perhaps about 4 years ago". The support of Windows XP Home/Pro was dropped in early 2014. So I suppose your problem is related to Embedded/POSReady …

Hello. Thanks for the articles about shielding. However... But I doubt that any of the above will help you if the noise problem is a result of the sound card's own generated noise from using parts with low Signal To Noise (S/N) ratios. You can't make the components do more than they're designed to …

Thank you for your interest. Here some results and questions: The relocation to another ISA slot doesn't help at all Can I install a modern PSU on a 486 motherboard ? This computer was made before 1995 and thus before the creation of ATX How can I made a Faraday-cage ? I am not an expert on …

Hello. Thank you for the replies :happy: Great Hierophant is right The problem most likely is that the Pro 1's FM chips are much more speed sensitive than the Pro 2's FM chip I initially tested my SBP1 (CT1330) on my current "retro" computer: Pentium III 550 MHz processor and i440BX motherboard. …

Hello, I've three old Creative cards: one Sound Blaster Pro 1 (CT1330) and two Sound Blaster Pro 2 (CT1600 & CT1690). Great for DOS games! Unfortunately, I noticed that ALL of them produce background noise on my oldest system (486 DX2 66 MHz). It's very audible on DOS 6.22, but it's even worse on …

Hello. I've recently bought a Sound Blaster Pro 1 (CT1330) and I tested it on my retro computer. Unfortunately, I noticed there are notable sound problems on Prince of Persia I & II. Voices and other digital sounds work fine, but not the MIDI music. So I concluded the sound card is broken as I've …
