Hi, did someone try to install Win98 in VMWare 16, with enabled hyper-v in Windows 10/11? In such configuration VMM runs at user level instead of privileged level, and I was wondering if it changes anything in scope of running Windows 98. I am currently at vmware 15.1 because reasons, so before I …

Can't see why being a newer drive layout would be the root of the problem, but you never know. As a test I hooked up my earlier gen Fujitsu M2512A MO drive (230MB) to my Asus P2B-DS (exactly the same on-board Adaptec SCSI controller) and its detected without issue (termination set on the Asus & MO …

But system is not detecting the drive. What exactly do you mean with that? Is ist available in the controller's device tools or is it just disabled in BIOS scan? during POST, scsi gets initialized, it doesnt detect any device. I can press ctrl+a to get into scsi bios and scan devices again, but it …

Older drives have different layout than 2.3GB versions.

Masking VME didnt have any effect for me and I think its not the real problem. Reason why Windows 98 VM needs binary translation is not VME, but some bug in memory management I found on this link https://blog.stuffedcow.net/2015/08/win9x-tlb-invalidation-bug/ And even with binary translation, it …

Date of burn, burning software might be in primary volume descriptor. You can also check that with isobuster. But if those discs were burned from .iso or other image, then values that were present in that image were used. Dont think you can get drive and speed used.

@HandOfFate I run it with Windows server 2003 :) As you say, it definitely is not straightforward and you need to learn basics how to set up WSUS and work with it, but then you just set one GPO in XP system with WSUS server address and it gets updates from there. It works fine with clean Win2003 SP2 …

to get SHA2 support in in XP, you have to install KB968730, which is not in windows update. But if it will resolve problem you have, I dont know. Also, you can install Windows server with WSUS, bulk download updates there and tell your XP machine to update from your WSUS server.

open the drive and if dust is everywhere, blow it out with pressured air. After that, clean the lens with ear cleaning stick soaked in ethanol or isopropyl. I am sure theres more than one guide on youtube for this. Also, Asus P4P800 with 512MB RAM is fine for XP.

My P3-450 on Asus P2B-LS with integrated Intel Pro/100 can get 5-7MB/s download from FTP with cpu utilization around 80%. I have similar experience with D-Link DFE-530TX.

Tualatin celeron has same sache size as coppemine P3. Take 1.0A and set FSB to 133. You will get 1.3/133 and it should be 30% faster than 1ghz 133 coppermine. You can try same with 1.2 but resulting 1.56Ghz might be too much.

one of the most recent Windows 10 Creator updates prevented pre 15.x VMWare releases from working. I actually use Windows 98 VMs a lot, so it actually sucks that I can't make it work. 12.5.9 actually still works even in 1909 W10. You just have to modify AppCompatFlags registry, so that windows …

You wont get high throughputs from network in Win98. Youre looking at somewhere around 100Mbps (12,5MB/s) with gigabit Intel Pro/1000 PCI adapter if you optimize it correctly. And this communication will eat significant CPU resources. I also use it just for mounting images to daemon tools and then …
