Hi, I'm not sure, since we've got a new forum software here, but.. You can always attach them compressed as Zip as a workaround. Of course, that's rather inconvenient. 🙁
Re: ISA video cards in DOS - where is the cap?

+1 The only special case might be demoscene stuff, though. Some demos were literally made for the ET4000, such as the Copper Demo (see channel in signature). While I made it run on various PCs with Oak OTI-37c etc, some effects didn't turn out 100% correct (to be fair, my screens weren't period- …

Zilog Z80 drop-In Replacement
Posted on 2020-07-02, 18:30
Hello everyone, I wonder if there's a Z80 replacement that is slightly quicker at same clock speed. Akin to the 68010 which has lower clock cycles and and loop mode, but is otherwise mostly compatible to its predecessor (except. Move Sr etc). http://www.memphisamigagroup.net/diskmags/198803/68010- …

😱 I'm shocked how crude the original PC-Bios was. I wonder, do XT class BIOSes als work on IBM 5150? Or are special circuits, like the cassette interface, an issue? Anyway.. IBM at least added a fix at some point. Just imagine how many 5150s would have had ended up on the dumpster if they couldn't …

Your limited by the Isa bus Beyond a certain point it's no longer useful. For 486 you want vlb as even a Trident vlb is faster than any isa, and for Pentium class you want pci I think the same. VLB is as crude or non-smart as ISA, just faster / has a higher bandwidth. I like to think of it as as an …

Hello Estece and welcome to vogons! Your work looks very pretty and interesting, I think. I'd like to help, but currently, I have no vintage PC with 686+ CPU at hand, since I pretty much limit myself on XT-586 due to space limitations. :sweatdrop: Anyway, I'm sure other vogons members may wish to …

I've been using a Raspberry Pi 3 512MiB for a year as a replacement for our/my old main PC w/ 7 when Win X became the one and only Windows.. Beginning with Raspberry 4 4GiB, I can say that these are real little computers. The new 8 GiB version even more so. Personally, for me, the x86 times are …

Some other 512KB cards from that period also exhibit this limitation, see eg. Paradise VGA 1024, based on WD90C00. I guess not enough memory bandwidth... Yeah, the PVGA1A/1B/1C also falls into this category, I'm afraid. It could do 256c in 640x400, though, which was remarkable. Because it worked …

I'm speaking under correction, but I believe the numbers on the Trident cards do refer to years. 8800..'88 8900..'89 9000..'90 800x600 in 256c is not shabby for one of the oldest SVGA cards, I think. 😎 Let' s remember, VGA was just released a year earlier (' 87)..

VPC 2004 had support for using physical media. Ms Virtual PC 2007 has full MS-DOS compatibility if used with the 2004 machine additions for DOS 6.2x. It also has 64-Bit host supportb (check the various patches also) and supported shared folders. On Vista /7 graphics might be slow, though since it …

So if you have a retro OS - be it DOS or Windows 98 - installed on a Compact Flash/SD you cannot access any additional partitions when viewing it on Windows 7/10? Without third party tools? Not sure, I haven't found out yet. Windows 10 added multi-partition support in build 1703. https://borncity. …

From what I know, Windows NT-based OSes do not show multiple partions of removable media. Only partition one. That includes CF cards, SD cards, USB thumb drives, floppy disks etc. USB hard drives are a special case, of course. They are considered hard drives, no matter what interface they use. Linux …
