I think what I'm going to do is get an IDE-based SD card reader and format a 128GB card to FAT32. I need one of those anyways, so hopefully I can get it working as my C: drive. If that don't work, I'll try and get an IDE to SATA converter, and if that doesn't work, then I'll try and find an IDE hard …

probably doesn't like the Hard drive. You should try patching it with rloew Terabyte plus patch. that should fix it. becasue thats probably related to not only the size, but they way you partitioned and formated it, windows 98 is very picky about that and its related to the OS doesn't understand …

Would you be able to upload some photos of the bios menus? I'm having a hard time finding any documentation on the options so it's hard to say where what is or what it could be called. EDIT: nevermind, found something EDIT2: doesn't look like there's a way to set SATA/IDE modes, so I think the next …

So, I've got an issue. I posted here a day or two ago about turning an old Dell Dimension 4600 into a Win98 machine, and already I'm running into issues. I downloaded an OEM disk image and burned that to CD so I had a bootdisk (I would've used a floppy for a bootdisk and ran a retail CD, but I have …

Here is the link for Audigy 2 ZS drivers for dos mode. http://vogonsdrivers.com/getfile.php?fileid=1383&menustate=0 (Audigy and earlier included them as part of the install) For now I'd keep the GF4 MX till you get an idea of how the system performs. It's definitely a bottleneck but has great …

A2 ZS is going to be SB0350, the front panel 5.25" box for the card (if you want to feel cool) is going to be SB0250. You'd be right with the SB0570 as it seems the oldest it has is for Vista I think the worst you'll have to deal with is some SB16 emulation IRQ stuff the yamaha/SB will have in …

snip The video card is a GeForce 4 MX 440 plugged into the AGP slot on the motherboard. As for the sound card, will I have to do anything to run both soundcards and have them play nice or will I have to swap soundcards based on what game I'm playing? Also, I don't plan on hooking this thing up to …

I recently picked up a big lot of old retro tech. Among them was a Dell Dimension 4600, with a Pentium 4 @ 2.8GHz, 512MB of DDR400 RAM, and an AGP-equipped GeForce 4 MX 440. I'm thinking of using it - or alternatively, taking its guts and putting them into a new case - and making it into a Windows …
