Thanks so much to @rasteri for creating this. Vintage mice are often quite awful, as I remember well from when they were new. - Alex

I'll be watching this closely, as I am rather a fan of SBCs, and have a number of PCISA/PISA boards. - Alex

NetBSD 10 will likely run, as it can still function in a very small memory footprint. - Alex

Posted on 2024-03-28, 16:31
I believe that eXoDOS includes quite a number of no-cd patches. I'll not link to it, per Vogons policy, but it might be worth working with retroexo on an effort like that? - Alex

Excellent work! Are you able to use any of the development work done in MAME? https://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12050 - Alex

I found (thanks @kingcake) a riser that will do, until I find the right one: https://web.archive.org/web/20240305153515/https://www.ebay.com/itm/193646674657 I may just have to break down and do my own PCB design. ISA and PCI aren't all that hard to lay out, and I can copy an existing riser. I just …

I've not seen it called "PISA." The boards that use it that I have seen (they are still for sale, new, for industrial use, call it "PCISA": https://www.icpamerica.com/pcisa-945gse-n270-pci-isa-half-size-sbc/ Yep, the machine I have is a Tulip, rebadged as Unisys. This is the motherboard: https:// …
PCISA Riser Search

The recent topic on https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=98663&start=20 got me thinking about a nice low-profile 486 that I have that came with a PCISA riser card that I did not get with the system. For anyone not familiar, PCISA is a pseudo-standard that became somewhat common for industrial …

Very cool, thanks for the explanation! It definitely is a very useful and interesting project, and I really appreciate you sharing it with us. If you would like, I can do a video on my tiny YouTube channel and show it off. Is there anything in particular that you would like me to highlight? I can …

I had the same issues getting Ultima VII working on my 386DX/25, back in the early 1990s. Ultima VIII is even more difficult, I could never get it enough conventional RAM. - Alex

This is a very interesting project. Windows 2000 is definitely a watershed moment in Microsoft's timeline, since it's when they first moved beyond DOS for home users. Obviously Windows XP gained a lot more wide-spread acceptance, but the presence of DirectX, by default, in the NT series allowed a …
