I had enough of this board and sold it today.
Athlon XP, Windows 98 and DirecX 9 problem.
Posted on 2024-03-12, 17:14
I have just built a computer with an Athlon XP 1600+ processor and an Abit KT7A motherboard under Windows 98SE. However, there is a problem - games using DirectX9 freeze immediately after entering the 3D environment. All other games using lower versions of DirectX work without problems. I checked it …

The problem has already solved itself. I took out another Wawetable board from another computer and it worked with this card without any problems, then I put back the one that didn't work and it works now. ¯\(ツ)/¯
ASUS I-A16C sound card and Wavetable addon
Posted on 2024-03-06, 11:49
I recently bought an ASUS I-A16C sound card which works perfectly fine except for one thing - Wavetable addon cards do not work with it. After switching the music to General Midi port 330, there is complete silence. Wavetable card is good and tested. Has anyone had this card and had the same …

PC Chips M575 - No BIOS chip?
Posted on 2023-10-20, 22:19
I found an auction with a PC Chips M575 board which, in my opinion, is missing a BIOS chip. I'm not an expert, but there is a smaller chip inside the socket, or maybe it's the BIOS?

And I'm waiting for an FPGA system the size of a Raspberry Pi that will be able to program every component from the retro PC world with ten times more efficiency than the original. Doesn't the MİSTer basically do this already? Maybe some weak 386 will be able to emulate, but I would like to run …

Personally, I'm more interested in being able to run old software on the newest computer. If Windows 10/11 was 100% compatible with Windows9x/DOS, I would give up collecting this 'e-waste' because building working computers from them is often very frustrating. Just install 86box? Too poor …

Re: [Win98SE] Drives are in MS-DOS compatibility mode, but why?
Posted on 2023-07-29, 08:47
Nope, no viruses. If I have the SATA controller enabled in the BIOS, Windows always enters MS-DOS compatibility mode, even if the patch and drivers are installed correctly. If I disable the SATA controller in the BIOS, the MS-DOS mode disappears. ¯\(ツ)/¯
