Today i installed a VGA adapter in my 8088 EuroPC. I have some time tried to decide how to utilize the 8bit ISA slot. I had three options: 1. IDE CF Card - 2. SoundBlaster and 3. Graphics card. For a while now i have used a EGA card. The reasoning for not using SoundBlaster/Adlib is that so few …

I have a computer (EuroPC) with a DE9 connector. After reading these two articles about Joysticks i believe that i am able to use a standard Atari/C64 joystick in this port. Does anybody know of games using this port in DOS? Here are the two articles about Joysticks. Look for Amstrad (since EuroPC …

Also, i think i will try the Intel Application Accelerator. The readme file says it will work on Intel 82801AA Chipsset. I believe that I have this chip. I am not 100% sure, but i know it is a Intel 440BX motherboard. When trying to install the Accelerator i was denied due to "incompatible hardware …

Yes, Windows 98 is pretty much designed to swap RAM. There is a blurb about this on the XP Myths page as well (see "Disable the Paging File"). That is also why I am pretty sure using less than 65 MB for your page file is probably going to cause problems. Reducing wear on your CF card is an …

With 384 MB RAM i decided to use 65MB for ramdrive and configured Windows and dos to use the ramdrive for swap and temp files. It makes sense to use a ramdrive with more than 512 MB of RAM, but with 384 MB you're probably much better off leaving Windows to manage everything. There are many pages …

You should get the Intel Application Accelerator for UDMA support. The readme file for App Acc says it only workes for P3 and P4: 1. The system must contain the following Intel products: * Intel(R) Pentium(R) III or Pentium(R) 4 processor * Intel(R) 82801AA, 82801AB, 82801BA or 82801DB controllers …

Would there be a point adding a Adlib or SoundBlaster card to the IBM 5155? The price of an AdLib card on eBay is ridiculous - So that is out of the question. But i guess a Soundblaster with 8Bit bus could be used - since it is Ad Lib compatible? But why a sound card on an 8088 with CGA composite? …

Thanks for your help. Adjusting the trimmer worked perfectly. No i can enjoy the SD card filled with CGA/composite games. The only game that did not behave as before was PakuPaku, where the colors are gone. All other games/demos behave as expected.
