StarCraft/broodwar but only because I played the hell out of it for years. Never against another human mind you, just running through the campaigns.

Ah, so that is what that rattle was. Had the same drive in one of my laptops but I changed it because I thought it was on the way out. Didn't have the rattle is normal notice on it. Glad I didn't chuck the thing out now if its actually fine.

Just started on Age of Empires, well I say just started I've actually finished the Egypt campaign so in reality I'm more like a quarter of the way through but that's just nit picking.

My how time flies. Just installed Win95 on one of my machines a couple of days ago trying to get an old video capture device working. Nice nostalgic experience apart having to play the hunt the drivers game ... that game is no fun at all.

Did manage to find the software for it myself. Still can't get any kind of video signal into it though, three machines two operating systems and a couple of VCRs/cameras and a whole lot of swearing later and still all I get is snow. Ah well, it's something to keep me occupied until the next bit of …

Does anyone out there have the drivers/software for one of these things? The only software I can find on-line (archive.org and a couple of other sights) is for the NTSC version, which is not terribly useful because mine is PAL. I'm assuming there was a dedicated PAL version of the software because …

Not sure if these are the version you are looking for but here are the images of my driver disks for the SC400. They are the disks I got with a multimedia upgrade kit.

Got a couple, X20 and T41. The X20 is really showing its age and needs a new HDD and the RTC battery is flat, but it still runs despite the odd CLANK (or is it CLUNK?) from the slowly dying HDD. The T41 on the other hand is still going strong apart from the main battery which has succumbed to age …

My Ambra (a Sprinta 1) also has a dead CMOS battery (scrub that, it has no CMOS battery after I yanked it when it started leaking) but boots just fine after I update the BIOS settings when its powered up. Actually, might be a good idea to check yours to make sure that battery isn't in the process of …

Anyone else familiar with these Ambra computers? This one is in its original configuration with 486SX 25MHz, 4MB RAM and 210MB Harddrive. I Added Sound Blaster 16 and 3COM networking card since the onboard controller does not seem to like CF adapters paired with a hard drive. Yeah I got one but its …

First thing I would do is crack that Mac open and make sure the half AA battery hasn't done anything unspeakable to the motherboard.

Aw well that sucks, its probably repairable if your lucky. Mine just had a few messed up vias in the battery area I still need to bodge wire my way around. With some fumbling of the jumpers I did manage to get mine to fire up with an ISA graphics card but it fails all diagnostics I ran on it. They …

Have you tried a different emulator like VirtualBox for instance? Might give you the environment you are looking for and access to many other OS in the future for further experimentation.

Just finished Star Trek Armada, not fun at all sadly. Found it to be very buggy and unstable even with the latest patch installed (running on Me (shut up, its the closest contemporary OS I had immediately to hand)). Had it tank multiple times to the desktop even when running in its own safe mode and …
