Re: DirectX compatibility?

Posted on 2021-05-28, 13:08

in Windows
From Vista onwards, every OS seems to have their own DirectX (Vista being DirectX 10). The only exception is Windows 7, that can have a version of DirectX 12 installed. Hi! Vista got DX 10.1 with SP1 and finally, DX 11 a few years later.. From what I remember from my faulty memory, though, not all …

Re: What better system for me? Win95c or Win98SE?

Posted on 2021-05-28, 09:48

in Windows
Windows 95 may be a bit much for a 386, but Win3.1 is a 16-bit system, and I believe that in addition to the "bit" waste, it is more unstable [..] Well, yes, but it depends in the situation, I believe. Windows 3.1 in Standard Mode, in combination with its 286 kernal, is quite stable I think. This …

Same here. Well, in most cases. Win95 ran rock-solid on my fathers old ISA-only PC (no APIC, no ACPI, no PCI). - An AT compatible with 386DX-40 CPU, 16MB SIMM RAM, a Mitsumi LU005, HP Laserjet+, two HDDs (120MB/250MB), chip card reader etc. By comparison, on my Pentium 75 (Compaq PC), Win98SE caused …

Re: CP/M source code

thanks Jo22! MP/M sounds quite advanced and ZEMU is something I'd not seen before It's really fascinating, IMHO. It can run CP/M programs just fine. If you like to build your own Z80 computer, have a look at AVR CP/M.. It's a little microcontroller that emulates a Z80 and boots CP/M from an SD card …

Re: VME Broken on AMD Ryzen

Posted on 2021-05-26, 08:36

in PC Emulation
Hi again! Is the VME bug finally fixed? I've found contradicting information. Wikipedia says it got fixed with Ryzen 2000, other sources say Ryzen 3000.. Also an user in a Ryzen 3700 focused thread at Reddit said: [..] The only showstopper is if you want to run Windows 98 in a VM. The VME bug has …

Re: DOSBox vs PCem vs 86Box which do you prefer?

Posted on 2021-05-26, 07:19

in PC Emulation
For DOS Stuff, if I use emulation, it's usually going to be DOSBox. For Windows or anything else, I use Oracle Virtualbox. Sometimes I even do DOS on that using FreeDOS 2.1. Still love DOSBox, too. It's more like a slick runtime, than a traditional emulator IMHO. Many DOS programs run better in …

Re: Convert Teledisk or Kyroflux formats to IMG/IMA?

Posted on 2021-05-26, 06:03

in PC Emulation
You're apparently right and I wonder the same. A quick Google search returns this: "The Kryoflux company claims ownership of all images created with Kryoflux hardware." https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24948485 Which apparently is about the image format itself. Perhaps that's why no converter …

Re: Stupid Windows for Workgroups 3.11

Posted on 2021-05-25, 13:50

Yep... I found that out just a couple minutes ago. Patched and working. Please be careful, though. Please don't trust WfW 3.11 or DOS 7.1 Personally, I'v encountered quite some issues if they ran along. For example, the WfW directory was garbled after exiting WfW. I had to leave the directory and …

Re: No Free XMS Memory in MSDOS

Posted on 2021-05-24, 17:24

in DOS
Oh my I think I made a typo instead of NOEMS I used NOXMS which explains why there is no XMS memory available :) Hah, that explains a lot! :D Don't be sad, though, we all had been there at some point. To err is human, after all. Most people on the interwebs do usually share their stories of success …

in DOS
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3201165/dos-16m-error-message-6-not-enough-memory-loading-informix-se-4-10-dd6-engine Are you using a DOS Extender? If so, you could try to reserve some Extended Memory (not XMS) for the INT15 BIOS interface. Normally, Himem.sys allocates all memory it can get, …

Re: Did anyone here use AGIO Designs "computer desks"?

in Milliways
I haven't heard of them, either, sorry. However, I do like this design, too. Black and wood do match well, I think. And the design is functional, while not looking too industrial at the same time. Maybe other Vogons have heard of these. Edit: Thanks for sharing! :)

Re: networking under DOS

I see. By coincidence, the latest entry at OS/2 Museum also is about DOS network clients. Maybe it contains some useful information, too. https://www.os2museum.com/wp/dos-smb-client-p … ance/#more-5316 https://www.os2museum.com/wp/category/networking/
