I'm sorry I can't give you a link, it was at least 2-3 years ago the last time I bought one, but this one looks exactly the last one that I puchased: https://www.ebay.com/p/40pin-ATA-IDE-to-Compact-Flash-CF-Adapter-Converter-W-PCI-Bracket-Back-Panel-GL/1957806486?iid=302882810715&_trkparms=aid% …

Is Microsoft SideWinder pad SERIAL or USB ? What about Microsoft Sidewinder Freestyle Pro ? Is it SERIAL …

I prefer SD, it is cheaper, faster, easier to put also into laptop for data transfer. I agree, however I don't see many IDE to SD adapters listed. Question: Can I use CF to SD Adapters instead? The price of CF cards are ridiculously high these days.

If you already have GLQuake then there's nothing you need to do (except delete opengl32.dll in the quake folder as that's likely a 3dfx minigl you can't use). But if you don't, ftp://ftp.gamers.org/pub/idgames/idstuff/unsup/ is there for all the official glquake releases (all starting with GLQ). …

I see, well the system seems to be working great, and I guess I can live with it: as long as it is still plugged-in (but powered off) it can retain the CMOS data.

Hello all, I just salvaged a good working Abit BH6 from a local recycling store, and it comes with a PIII-433MMX CPU. I immediately replaced its CMOS battery with a brand new CR2033, but every time the system is turned off (and the power is unplugged) it looses the CMOS settings and I have to modify …

bump up your video card's gamma prior to starting GLQuake for the most optimal image quality. Will do! Thanks!

Wow! Thanks! I just re-installed Windows Quake, and when it asked for 3Dfx, I declined, so it not created the .dll file! And its running! Now, is Riva TNT considered a better card than Voodoo cards? I have a 16MB version, is it good enough to play Unreal, Quake II, and III? Also, is there a command …

Wow, thank you so much for such informative responses! OK, I simply want standard software rendering Quake, and I am not sure my system runs so choppy, even at the lowest speed! (This is the WinQuake, Win95/98 version, as DOS version runs fine, but I only have shareware version of that!)

If it's an nvidia Geforce card it'll definitely be slow.with regards to fullscreen palette shifting effects. Thanks, it is actually an ATI Rage 128 Pro 32MB AGP Try -dibonly is that a switch that I use with Quake?
