There are commercial-use forks of DOSBox that support business users, such as: vDOS - https://www.vdos.info/ vDosPlus - http://www.vdosplus.org/ dbDOSv - https://dbdos.com/ However, generally speaking, we don't support them here. You may indeed be better off using Virtual PC or VMWare or even …

I'm looking for this too, and I've been looking a lot longer than you... probably nine years, off and on. My only thought at this juncture is to contact known users of Speedy3D, from companies and their former employees to hobbyists, and prevail upon their generosity should they have it in their …

Bingo ? Well, I'll be damned. This article (with a lot of oddball chip mentions) also mentions a a Samsung chip in the Televideo TeleGraphics 3D: https://www.osp.ru/pcworld/1997/05/157452 However, this seems to indicate it (or another card in its series) used S3 ViRGE: http://www.video-drivers.com/ …

I cannot find any trace of Toyota hardware. Yet the specs in the table are beasty. Hard to believe they would keep it secret. Could it be some system made out of third-party components? And you went through all the references they list at the end of the paper? It seems "Toyota Caelum" made CAD/CAM …

I forgot to mention, the other day I uploaded Win95/WinNT3.51 drivers I had found for a strange Samsung video card (Samsung Magic Media SCM-1000) that used an almost completely unknown Brooktree chipset, the Brooktree BTV2120 MediaStream. I had found them here, likely to go offline: https://m.blog. …

This reminds me, a while back I found information on an Oak "OTI-64311" ( OTI64311 ). I am not sure if someone typoed a '1' for a '7' and they intended to write OTI-64317 (Warp 5 / Warp5), or if Oak had released the wrong info to the tech magazines, or if this was something a little different. I …

Re: SSH2DOS - Updated for 2021 standards

Good question. The original implementation only uses rand() for randomness so it really isn't cryptographically secure at all. This could be addressed in the future but I wouldn't be surprised if the implementation has other potential security issues. On the other hand I would not use DOS based …
