The Retrotink4k review by ModernVintageGamer does look very promising as scaler for computers. Looks like it might solve the issues I mentioned with the OSSC Pro above. It truly looks like the end boss of scalers. Not sure what ElectroSoldier's beef is with community made products that cater to the …

I was going to ask if you tried drivers from w3.sis.com, but it looks like it's down 🙁 That's a recent development, and I hope not permanent. Not having great success hitting it on Wayback either.

Thanks for the update! Supply chain pain is the the way of the world right now, ain't it. Not to worry, I will still be just as keen in the new year.

I've had times I would have used this for sure. You land some old system, it's got a working 9x install. You want to start fresh, but that means you have to investigate all the bits and find the drivers online. Thanks for sharing - I'll give it a whirl next time I've got a suitable box on the desk. …

I've never installed a CD or DVD ROM drive that wasn't picked up in DOS. Given it's not seen in BIOS either, then I would suspect a problem with that IDE channel. The IDE channel on your sound card would be worth a shot. If you would prefer to just mount images, I'm a fan of SHSUCD: https://www. …
