Re: Toshiba 2805-s402 Ultimate retro gaming laptop

I was wondering if the OP can post what model number DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive is installed in your 2805-S402. I'm trying to upgrade my 2805-S202, and want to be sure the DVD-ROM bezel I have will match up with the replacement Panasonic drive. I have a Panasonic UJDA540 which only reads CDs..and I'd like …

That one or this will work great. 14.xx has some power saving features useful for it being a laptop. 12.xx Driver here maybe more compatible. https://www.vogons.org/download/file.php?id=99660 somtime I plan on modding a 45.xx driver, but I just haven't got around to it, maybe the most compatible but …

Sounds like resource conflict to me. Creative drivers should offer WDM or VXD drivers. If you don't need dos comptibility with the sblive through native dosbox under windows 98 than just install the WDM drivers. The Creative VXD drivers will likely give you headaches becasue they don't allow …

I would try removing the multi IO card …

I never had a good experience with a inkjet other than when it was new. All the ones I had were manufactured E-waste, and the ink was more expensive than the printer. Apperently the newer ECO fill stuff is a lot better. On the contrary all of the black and white laser printers I've ever had have …

yeah 3dfx cards are not and computer hardware in general are not good investments. Its not like investing in gold and silver in your portfolio. Gold is always in high demand and unlike paper money governments around the world cant just print more of it. 3dfx cards on the other hand are not high …

Pretty sure 99% of the people who got those $1000 checks pumped it back into the economy in the form of food, rent, utilities, credit card debt, etc. and not 3dfx cards and original Air Jordans. The trillions in tax cuts to the rich given by then President Trump did absolutely nothing to the …

theyre not that rare but for some reason the diamond cards prices are usually jacked but I've seen a lot of OEM Aureal cards and cards of other brands like turtle beach and I think DELL and the like at reasonable to cheap not to long ago.

Prices are driven by a lot of factors. Until we have 1 Quadrillion market crash nothing will change. Sure supply has steady decreased but the demand hasn't really increased if anything its declined as people in the market got what they wanted already or emulation improved. Prices just started …

So I saw this.... thing listed on eBay and jumped on it. It's got an actual 440BX chipset on it, believe it or not. I didn't even notice the sneaky AGP slot - see it there? Anyway, it hasn't arrived yet and I have no plan for it, but I'll probably try to make it fit in some case it has no business …

That would be cool, but I havn't the slightest idea on how to mod a mr bios rom. Its definatly the bios, as I've tried an intel DX4 WB varient and had no option to enable WB on that CPU either. Could be that WB isn't possible on this hardware too.

the flexi driver will work just fine with adi/2 I think its newer than the turbo ide one. this also is the driver I was refering to my last post about it. http://vogonsdrivers.com/getfile.php?fileid=9 … &menustate=35,0
Re: List of VLB IDE Controllers
Posted on 2023-04-27, 16:47
As far as I'm aware Appian ADI/2 Is the same as the 25VL adaptec chip. The adaptec drivers will also scan for ADI/2 and if detected will install the driver. The adaptec drivers are the latest, last time I checked you can still download them from there. I've personally tested this.

Re: Future retro classics

I don't beleive that theres going to be any future computer related retro stuff. 80s and 90s tech is in many ways like classic cars of the 1950s, 60s and early part of the 1970s. It was a special time in history like when great bands like Led Zeplin were a thing and why they call that genre classic …
