SBEMU + Windows 98SE + Boot menu Example of how to setup a boot menu for Windows 9x so that the SBEMU driver ++ is only loaded when booting DOS. Windows will fail to load if jemmex is loaded for instance. Tested on Windows 98SE, but I believe it will also work on 95 and 98. The following code …

After yesterday's tests I confirm the bad emulation. Too bad because it was nice to boot DOS games directly from Windows. And SBEMU on this computer gives problems, games freeze. The sound chip is an AD1981B, does anyone know if there are alternative drivers to try with?

I have a nice IBM T42 with native Win98SE support. Is there a driver and a joystick\controller visible from DOS by connecting it via one of the USB ports? DOS is the Windows98 one by rebooting in the appropriate mode

Do you intend to release your DOS-only driver pack? Yes, if it will be of use to anyone. But there's a problem. Attachments with proprietary software is forbidden in this forum even if it's abandonware. I have to figure out where to upload it. You may suggest some web platform. I use gitlab for my …

The most interesting part and the one less "in the spotlight" than your project is the porting of WolfSSL to 16bit for Windows 3.1 Here in Italy many computer magazines are reporting the news but without this detail, you should make a dedicated thread 😉

I don't think that any NT-based OS can use real-mode network drivers like those NDIS2 drivers. Win9x, on the other hand, can use them at the expense of RAM within the first 1MB. ... Indeed. NT cannot use real-mode drivers at all. Support for especially GBe interfaces was very finite for old NT …

The motherboard is set up with the controller in IDE mode (in fact, it works even on Win98 without special drivers) I need to figure out how to read C\H\S from the SSD, or can I trivially make an even smaller FAT partition?

My guess is that it was used for something financial or EPOS like. And the keyboard was possibly custom for that environment. My father worked for Olivetti during the 80s and 90s and we had no end of weird and wonderful devices in the garage that had come home from work. Keyboards with magstripe …

Do you have a little guide for freedos? At startup it gives me the message "jload: versions of Jemm and Jload don't match" The versions from Freedos are older and do not work with sbemu. So use the files (jload, jemm) from the zip file. You have to change the path in the config.sys and autoexec.bat …
