The throughput of the 3c509 in comparison to the 8019AS is way better (measured in DOS on a 486). You can easily compare that if you setup the mTCP FTP server and perform some file transfers.

You may also like to avoid installing IE6 and take IE5.5 SP2 in favour. But if you must, replace IE6 versions of the files browseui.dll & browselc.dll with their IE5.5 SP2 counterparts: http://www.frankprovo.com/win98ie6filesproblem.htm https://www.creopard.de/2020/06/Windows-98-mit-Internet- …

At first I thought of "setmul" but then found this L2 cache is not on the CPU and in many Socket 7 boards cache amount can only be set by jumpers not through BIOS or other CPU registers. In these cases the L2 cache switches are useless. If you use a CPU with onboard L2 cache such as the K6-22+ on …

@alec_v did you also try address 168 and/or IRQ 10 on the ESS? The IDE interface can be configured to run at I/O address 168h or 1E8h, and use IRQ 10, 11 or 12. https://dosdays.co.uk/topics/Manufacturers/ess.php
