Gonna say the same thing I said on the dumpster find thread. Exposing your board to anything other than proper electronics cleaning chemical is going to end very badly in the long run. [...] Hmm yes I agree...curious if something of the card is left later or if it is completely dissolved in the …

Again with another problem.... The '98 rig I was working on needed the Windows 98SE CD to install a driver. I put in the CD, and the drive wouldn't read it. After rebooting (with the device away to keep things from messing up the OS) I realized the CD drive wouldn't read any discs. It wouldn't read …

After fiddling around with the cards. I managed to install two sound cards, one PCI WDM card, and an ISA VxD card. That problem's solved.

I'm trying an experiment. I'm installing a Sb Live 5.2 into Windows 98, and linking to the ISA SB that I have. The SB Live will have WDM drivers and the ISA card will have VxD drivers. I want to see how bad I can mess up my system. 😀

I removed the hardware CD-ROM drive from the PC, so the only CD-Rom drive is the Daemon Tools one. There's something about having to use WDM drivers I heard of...

I could be a software problem or a result of something wrong on the board. try to check your Vooodoo2 to see if there's anything suspicious.

I found out the socket connector is intact. It's gotta be the capacitors.

Now that I think about it, I installed the VxD drivers because the WDM drivers from the Windows 98SE CD didn't work with Doom's music and only produced sound effects. I can try to find a more recent version of the WDM driver

Hello anyone reading this. I've recently installed Daemon Tools 3.4.7 to simulate CDs (MY Half Life disc is scratched to hell and I'm not sure it will hold up anymore) and have tried to play games with CD Audio, like Half Life and Quake, for example. Music works fine in CD player, but doesn't work …

I have an IBM monitor that a company was going to throw away. I snatched it before its redemption time and now I'm thinking of fixing it. The VGA connector is cut off, and there's dirt and grime everywhere. I have spare VGA cables that I don't mind sacrificing, but my question is: Will a monitor …

No that I think about it, maybe I should. I will desolder and resolder the PS/2 socket. It goes in a little bit when plugging in stuff anyways.

I have moved the forum from http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=50985 . Basically after a few minutes on my PC the PS/2 Mouse and keyboard stop working, especially if I'm playing video games. I have an Abit-BH6 and what I've noticed is that anything on the PS/2 ports freeze, suck as the mouse …
