Are you using the latest? There are now three different revisions of the Tyrus sampler released. The third, which was the latest at the time I last checked, was reduced to a size of about 500MB, and even in its current unfinished state, it doesn’t use all of that data for samples, the plugin just …

I'm afraid you installed too much memory for windows 98. As I understand it, Windows 98 is only suited for setups with maximum 512 MB of RAM. There are patches and solutions to change this, I don't know if you tried any of those?

I've just finished building my Windows 98 and was hoping this board would function with the onboard SATA300 controller. Are you certain there's no way to make it work correctly?

I understand, but that way I'm missing out on the superior (?) soundblaster for effects? I would use the Solo-1 (that I ordered through Aliexpress) only for connection to my MIDI emulation computer.

Not even in the DOS 7.1 mode of Windows 98 SE? That's the one I'm going to use. What card would you suggest with regards to availability and price (preferably in EU).

If you want to be able to read the XP installation from 98se than XP has to be formatted fat32 Actually I'd rather not.

I have acquired a very nice Sony Multiscan G500 today. Unfortunately the housing has been stained by smoking. What is the best way to clean it? Also I want to freshen up the tube itself. Just use a little damp cloth with water+vinegar or should I consider something else?

Well, the thing is, that on today's market, you will most probably spend way more money on period correct Win 98 system, than on overpowered one. That is correct.

It is my understanding that Hyperthreading needed to be disabled, so I thought that was also the case for a multicore CPU. So generally speaking an E6600 (or higher) CPU should be a tremendous (overkill) CPU that would function perfectly, generally speaking. The PT880 chipset in the 4CoreDual should …
