Awesome color. Looks just like the Indigo2! 😎

Re: I have ISA slots on my circa 1999 motherboard. I need a card that will work with both Windows 98 as well as "DOS mode"
Posted on 2019-10-12, 21:01
I have an an Opti 89C929 based soundcard - a Mad16 Pro. It has Windows 95 drivers that also work on Windows 98SE and comes with official DOS drivers that work in almost every game. JKnipperts has also made additional DOS drivers to enhance the compatibility (for stereo in Descent 2 for example). …

Most of the things floating around the web about iOS hacking is fake news. Of course. There are no exploits in the Apple ecosystem. And if there are, they only affect a small number of users - like the Uyghur Muslims for example. On topic: I really hope a mobile design for this website gets …

to me the worst compromise is heat dissipation (particularly in apple computers) It's not just Apple, a lot of manufacturers cram the biggest CPU's into the thinnest cases for marketing reasons. My Thinkpad L390 Yoga is an amazing device - replaceable SSD, up to 64GB of replaceable RAM, Wacom …

It is actually not free. His son has made it clear that he wants us to preserve his fathers software. It is a busy time right now but I did want to clear the air regarding the patches. I would like them to continue to be distributed, for his work to be remembered and to be beneficial to others. So, …

nothing sucks power like a GeForce 8400GS Did you mean "GeForce 8800 Ultra"? :cool: Had one of these years back. What a massive beast - with two power connectors. Of course it slowly killed itself because it ran too hot - after the glitches and freezes became too annoying and frequent, I tossed it …

I see reports of HD4670 running on a Pentium 3 Tualatin so maybe yours should work.... I have one of these running in my 1.4GHz Tualatin system (when I dualboot XP, anyways). Getting drivers for this thing was an absolute pain - ATI had a legacy driver website for their cards with an AGP bridge …
Re: How much do you pay for Old hardware Repairs ???
Posted on 2019-10-04, 11:04
Sometimes I pay around 20 to 30 bucks for good capacitors to repair old hardware. It's a bit steep, but also a lot of fun. My Abit VH6T came back to life after a complete capacitor replacement and the next hardware will be my Dell UXGA monitor that started to flicker and also needs a bunch of new …

This is my ideal Voodoo 2 cooling setup: IMG_20191003_221318.jpg IMG_20191004_010318.jpg Parts used: - Radeon 9600XT - Zalman ZM80D-HP - Zalman ZM-OP1 - a couple of cheap heatsinks The big fan cools both cards very well and since it's running only on 5 volts, it's very quiet. It also looks pretty …
Re: Sound card for super socket 7 ?

Finally, I've also had very good experience with ForteMedia FM801 cards My experience with one of those was one of the worst. The drivers are constantly crashing on Windows 98 and the DOS emulation can be summarized with "Hopefully it works". There are a lot of games were the sound is garbled or …

Try to get a card with an OPTi 82c929 chipset - I have a Mad16 Pro and I can throw anything at it. The original drivers are already pretty good and the new ones by JKnipperts are even better: https://github.com/JKnipperts/OPTi82c929_Driver
Re: Poll: most annoying game controls
Posted on 2019-10-01, 22:57
I love and hate the controls of "Edge of Chaos: Independence War 2" (or I-War 2 in short). It's a mixture of excessive keyboard shortcuts paired with full joystick controls. The learning curve for this game is extreme (and only topped by "Diaspora: Shattered Armistice"). I started playing this when …
Re: Terminator: SkyNet

Sometimes Terminator: SkyNet crashes on level transitions on my 1.4GHz Tualatin. I run it on Windows 98SE, not in real DOS mode. That's the only problem I have with this game, though. I save very often because of it. ...Got stuck in between objects a few times, though. 🤣
Re: Zalman VF900-Cu led on a Geforce 7900GS AGP

I would use a Zalman ZM80D-HP instead and pair that with the additional OP1 fan that can be run on a very low speed. There's a manufacturer that did this combo officially on a 7900GT so it should be fine: https://www.pressebox.de/pressemitteilung/computation-systemhaus-gmbh/Passiv-gekuehlte-GeForce- …

I give more attention to the appearance of my computers than one would think a Thinkpad fan does. I'm also a Thinkpad fan and the black/red color combination is pretty timeless. Still a very good design. I prefer it over the Macbook "trashcan" optics with their aluminium body. Also, Lenovo isn't …

People rip apart every design choice Apple makes, and have since they became a majority player. Their marketshare isn't even that good compared to Android. But it looks like you can make a lot of money by putting big profit margins on your devices, treat your brand like a religion and don't give …
