My condolence to Rudolph Loew (Rudy) and his family. When I was a kid, I search the internet for windows 98 not able to run properly on RAM above 1.5GB. During my LYCOS search, I came across his name and his Win98 MEM patch 4GB. That's when I heard of his name.... (at that young age, I don't really …

Well... The reason why I ask for that kind of casing that could stack on top of each other, is because I wanted to play with the hardware in real time. thus The screenshot you provided is overkill! HAHAHAH! :) Anyway, I decided to just stick with Test Bench, and stack them up together. Thanks for …

Hi, I'm gonna get myself an P3/Celeron Slot1 Board. I'm building myself a retro computer. My concern now is the casing. I do not want too big nor too small, preferbaly Tower.

Sounds like the board has failed which could be possible from improper BIOS flash but unlikely. The last change to the system was the BIOS flash. Wrong flashes are known to render working hardware to paper weights. ;-) So how is it unlikely flashing the wrong BIOS caused the problems? Yes.. Wrong …

Hey Guys - well I've got a DOSBox Live Distro to test if any of you are interested. TinyCore was a great recommendation. I got the debian version working first but honestly it was like 10x longer loading with more compatibility issues. I made a new thread about it here: https://www.vogons.org/ …

@Panties, N550 is dual-core CPU with hyper-threading, so each physical core has 2 logical threads for the operating system. Therefore you see 4 cores in task manager. Oh.. HT on each core, on 2 Local Core, so that's why it shows 4 Processors. :blush: Do you have any ideas on making this system, a …

The N550 should be dual core with two way SMT for each core. It would make a nice MIDI emulator to pair with a real DOS machine. Midi Emulator? Well, I do have a RealDOS machine.

Bummer thanks for testing. Its been my experience that Dosbox Distro detects the audio devices correctly on most atom chipsets that dont have hdmi out. :( Can you guide me on how you do it?

I started playing with Tinycore but realized apt-get wasn’t included which would make the installion of DOSbox more challenging. Fortunately I found this: https://github.com/superjamie/lazyweb/wiki/Boot-to-DOSBox I’m going to give that a shot. I'm going to try this too... interesting... :cool:
