I prefer pure hardware retro experience and not modern ones! And I don't like other platform than PCs! IBM PC compatibles I mean!

If its chipset supports Windows 9x and DOS, it's retro!!!

Look for "kt7_3c.bin" on that page, he refers to it as "last low temperature official BIOS", that means to say, the last BIOS that reports the temperature correctly and does not have Abit's ACPI "fix". To expose enabling/disabling ACPI, you need to open the file in a bios editor and unhide the …

I tried the Japanese modded bioses. With the first one ACPI always gets IRQ 7 and I have issues with the Orpheus Soundcard, with the other patched, always works as the latest official, I will check the modded one by mockingbird user and the ACPI disabling selection.

With a compatible (supported from OS/2 with drivers) SVGA card and sound card OS/2 is awesome! Better than DOS! I've tested OS/2 Warp 4 on my i486Dx2 build with S3 Vision 968 VLB and SB AWE64 GOLD and it was a great experience. You can try the 4.52 version with patches and the proper drivers or …

Hmm thanks. Just wondering. I'm pretty happy with my Mobile Athlon 4 cpu. Throttle, moslo and setmul are working great.

Any mod to bios to add lower multipliers? 2x, 2.5x, 3x, 3.5x?

Gigabyte, Abit, QDI, AOpen and some other "cheap" like Chaintech had rock solid motherboards until the middle of 2000s. All my modern systems since Athlon XP are build on a Gigabyte.

The latest version that supports Windows 98?
ATi 9200SE DVI works in DOS, Windows 3.x and not in 98SE

Greetings, on my latest build I've replaced Voodoo 3 3000 and GeForce2 Ti with the ATi 9200SE AGP. When I connect the DVI port to the monitor works without issues in DOS and Windows 3.11, but when it enters Windows 98SE I cannot have picture, only through the D-Sub port. On Windows 98 device manager …

That's a pretty awesome build! I am gearing my latest build towards something like that. You don't see many Athlon 4s, always see Mobile XPs it seems. Yes it's good. It is right up to year 2000. For a faster build and XP (compatible with 98SE) era, I believe my Athlon 64x2 754 with SB Live! or …

Wasn't sure whether to post this here or in PC Emulation, I suppose this is an announcement even if it's not a release. Michael Manley is taking over as maintainer of PCem, and will be responsible for development and future direction of the project. As there is now an active maintainer again, I've …

Greetings. I had bought last October a KT7 rev 1.01 board with a Duron and I was excited, but I found that the KT7a Raid was more versatile, so I bought one fully repaired with brand new capacitors. I flashed the latest bios and I'm using it alongside AMD Mobile Athlon 4 1000 - AHM1000AVS3B cpu. The …
