Take a look - do you know how to mount drives in there? You need "drive rails", just google it. Might not be easy to find them for your specific case though. Ah, I knew something was missing... Thanks for confirming. Now back to search - anyone has any of drive rails from that period? Maybe those …

Guys, I managed to get it all installed. Now I bought the case of my dreams:) Thing is, I don't know how to mount drives in it - it has those weird rails with no screw holes - I have a feeling like something is missing in it.

Hmmm... I don't know, need to search for it... It is IBM 33G5430 mouse. I have Asus P5A-B motherboard, also have USB/MIR card, but only with USB sockets, no PS/2. Is there a way to add PS/2 socket to this board?

I have installed it. I understand that I should always pick SB Pro in games settings? I get sound in games, but no music. Weird...

Make your CF bootable, then copy the MS-DOS install from the VM onto the CF. Thats how I would do it. OK, thanks, I tried that. So I have created VM …

Hi, sorry, I don't know what's wrong here. Last time, I installed MS-DOS 6.x in VBox, it worked fine. That was on Mac (v4.1.4) - see https://youtu.be/c6e3FzI9Tuw Anyway, maybe you can use another DOS that works better. FreeDOS, PC-MOS/386, Caldera DOS.. Or you might want to give 86Box/PCem/Qemu/ …

I think I've seen about 8 for sale (here locally) in the last 6 years. I always keep an eye out, because the 386 SX 16MHz from my childhood was in this case.
