When the time comes that my NAS drops SMB1 support I will just create a Docker container with SMB1 support and connect it to my NAS. Most modern NAS systems support Docker and/or VM's out of the box so it's quitte easy to get it working without to much overhead. Also you can use a super small …

For that issue it's likely that that it's requiring NTLMv2 if so then: Install Active Directory Client Extensions Enable NTLMv2 via registry edit REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\control\LSA] "LMCompatibility"=dword:00000003 This indeed needs to be done as well. Furthermore I …

I have so many different systems setup that if I don't identify what is inside, I will have to be randomly pulling out cases and opening them up. The case badge seemed like the least intrusive means of front-facing identification. Using badges for the same reason. :) Not that I have that many retro …

Probably posts in "List of Currently Free Games", this thread gets cleaned up occasionally. Why aren't those posts edited and put *EXPIRED* in it or something? Forums should in my opinion never remove posts (if not obscene, vulgar or something like that). Also it has the "nice" by-effect that you …

Is there some purging going on on the forum? I was member for some time now with 100+ posts. Today I see that I am back at < 80 posts and back to Newbie status. Would not be a problem if I was contacted about it but I was not. So question is what happened and why? Can one of the moderators maybe …

Great software! As requested some wish list items: An overwrite option for ftp uploads. So overwrite a file if it already exists. Break off option for long filenames (so only keep the first 8 characters of a filename if it exceeds that limit). Don't know if it's possible but these 2 items are what I …

I have been looking around for an ISA NIC card. I have been seeing a few 3com 3C509B-C combo cards.. as well as 3Com 3C509B-TPO (which only has a RJ45 jack) is one or the other generally any better? They are both identical for file transferring purposes. With a 3C509B-C you can add an EPROM which …

I used foobar2000 a couple of weeks ago to convert some files to mp3 to test Winplay3 on a 486/66. 128bkps was a bit too much though. It played fine with a little lower bit rate (96bkps?).

I have one for you. I use a SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 for DOS and Win98SE gaming, a well-known sound card that is easily and reliably used for both. To use this card in pure DOS, SBEINIT.COM must be loaded as a TSR for PCI-to-ISA emulation for DOS games. However, this TSR crashes QEMM with perfection …

I've noticed some of the DOSBENCH tests can adversely affect the DOS clock SPEEDSYS can do that, it performs RTC Y2K test by setting the date to last second of 1999 and waiting for the clock to advance (and it will hang if the RTC isn't running properly). Possibly it doesn't properly set the …

So between the crystal and (U1? maybe?) they should generate a 32kHz signal that goes to pin 72 of the 82C206. That chip stores the value for the RTC, along with other CMOS stuff. Pins 32 and 75 should be powered by the board when the PSU is on (probably read a bit less then 5V as there'll be a …

In my experience, there wasn't a single DOS configuration that QEMM produced that proved to be stable. QEMM is the most crash-happy memory manager of all time, and though it's always so tempting to use it, once you start gaming with it, you'll be crashing repeatedly. DOS gaming crashes QEMM (or …

Pretty sure that when the computer is on then the main PSU takes over from the battery for the RTC. So it shouldn't make a difference if you're doing benchmarks or not. Maybe noise on the power supply is causing problems for the RTC oscillator? Have you got pictures of the board, with some close …
