We use the Extron vga-hdmi device mentioned earlier in this thread and it works very well. Playing dos or Windows 9X looks decent. Just my two cents.

Back in the day I was always using pkunzip 2.14g, xtree gold and word perfect 5.1. Sound files I used trackblaster pro (I think that was what it was called). Most of the old mpeg files we still have I can’t remember what we used to play them on but the quality was abysmal. Enjoy the foray 😀

Not a cheap alternative but you could try a vga to HDMI converter (eg extron) and then use a capture card with HDMI input?

It worked 😀 Splitting the audio software program group into two and then setting back to 16M colours at 1024 x 768 worked perfectly. Thank you again 😀

In the very slow process of building a dos retro pc like many of us here ;) With time constraints, work and family it can be difficult to spend time on these projects. Finally got around to installing the WfW3.11 drivers for the above card. Instructions not a problem. Just needed a sounding board to …

KQV brings back a lot of memories. When I originally bought it I had to mail in a ticket with the EGA disks in order to upgrade them for the VGA disks. The upgrade came with one 5.25” disk and a bunch of 3.5” disks from memory. Whereas the EGA was one 3.5” and a bunch of 5.25” disks. I could be …

Great to see younger people interested in the old school things 😀 With the pci slots, have you had a look at the bios. Specifically if the pci slots are being set by the bios for their irq’s. Just my two cents. Good luck with the build.

Not sure how rare but we still have our original ISA soundcard. A MediaVision Pro Audio Studio 16. We had it in our 486SX back in the day and never had the heart to turf it. Will now re-purpose it in a new Legacy Dos PC Build 😀
