Fact, I'd say. I had a motherboard with an AMD E-350 APU and it featured a high-pitched whine. It was annyoing, because the PC was fanless otherwise. Edit: I could be wrong, but according to my memory, I kind of fixed it by disabling one of the power-saving features in CMOS setup.

What should my config.sys look like ? I tried a few combinations I found on internet with no luck, it either took ~64k my conventional or extended or high memory. notice: I don't want to load it to extended or high memory, only to UMA (above 640kb, below 1mb) Thanks much in advance. Hi, what does …

I'm glad it kinda works now! 🙂 As for OS/2.. Well, with the newer Odin compatibility layer (Warp package), a few Win32 emulators like VICE and Neko Project already do run.. https://youtu.be/pqobKuFXOh8 Also, Firefox got ported to Warp4/Ecomstation/Blue Lion OS.. So maybe Flash is available there, as …

That makes me wonder, if there is a non-standard floppy format with more capacity that could be used. XDF is supported by IBM DOS 7, but not DOS 2.11 or whatever the Tandy 1000 uses. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Extended_Density_Format XDF appears to extend High Density disk formats, only. …

Hello everyone, While browsing hackaday.com, I just noticed that there once was a project about a Jukebox with an LCARS interface (skin; there are many more). ^_^ The article/blog entry is available here: https://www.ragingcomputer.com/2008/04/touch-screen-jukebox https://www.instructables.com/id/ …

I don't know about C, but there's a lot of stuff like this available for QuickBasic 4.5. ;) For making windows, "WINGUI" could be used, I think. https://qb45.org/files.php?cat=11&p=1 In fact, there's even a DirectX "clone" called "DirectQB".. :D http://www.antonis.de/qbdown/qblibs.htm#dqb .. and a …

Re: 32-bit OS that will run best on 8MB 386sx-16

Posted on 2020-07-21, 22:24

so as long as I got OS/2 2.1 I can get win3.1 app compatibility and it should run ok? sounds like we may have a winner Normal programs should run fine, I think. I ran 2.11 on a Compaq Contura and noticed no issues. 16-Bit drivers with the *. DRV extension should also work. VXDs, as used by some fax …

My impression is that sourcing a soundtrack for the SID would not even be the biggest problem. I'm sure that someone out there would happily take care of a manual conversion, should the need arise. The biggest obstacle, however, would remain: It's disk space. Hi, I think you're right. When I used …

Re: Official Licenses? (DOS, Win98, NC)

It also depends on how by the book you want to be. As Jo22 said it's the COA that's important not the Disk/CD's. I'm not sure about this one (note that I'm from Europe), i think that it may be true for Win 9x and other software which requres a serial number to work. But MS-DOS works without a …
