Re: TSR program to hardware reset..

Posted on 2017-02-05, 15:57

So you're looking for an utility to soft-reset the PC ? I know of ones like boot.com, reboot.com, etc. But they all have to be executed from the command line. I'm not aware of any with a hot-key ability. I'm curious, are you, by any chance, running EMM386 ? I think there was a switch to allow CTRL+ …

Re: Issue Installing Windows 3.11 (Setup Error #214)

Hello, sorry for invading your discussion.. :sweatdrop: I just want to say that there's also another way of installing Windows 3.x. Just put all of the content from the Windows floppies into a single directory, say c:\setup31. From that point, just launch setup.exe and finish installation. Hope this …

I could be wrong, but I remember from my early days of Visual Basic programming that some applications did use MCI commands to control the CD drive (which often was the first and only one). When this happened, the audio was played by the drive itself (thus an audio cable was required). No idea, if …

Just curious, why do you need SP2, as well ? Don't get me wrong, I still really like SP2: It's quick, stable and very compatible - including with certain types of utilities. But if your rig is powerful enough for SP3, then... why ? Do you plan to install another type of XP (Home/Pro or other …

Interesting thread! I do have a floppy disk for a Paradise card, too. Is there any interest in it ? - As far as I know, the PVGA1,1A,1B and WD90C00 are quite similar (speaking under correction). It comes with several utilities and drivers for popular software from the 80s.. I do also have some VESA …

Re: Best ISA Video Card for a 386DX-40?

Equally fast and trouble-free are the WDC90C31 based cards - you can't go wrong with one. ^This. Western Digital Paradise cards offer best of all worlds. They are generally faster then Tseng cards, have great output quality (apart from some "banding" on select models in low color low-res graphic …

Re: Laptop recovery partition images

Hi, the Compaqs had their "BIOS" (the CMOS Setup Utility) on a hidden partition. It usually looked similar to the WinBIOSes. Perhaps, because they sometimes used a real - albeit cut-down - copy of Windows 3.1, actually. :) Speaking of them, I remember that my Compaq SLT/286 also had a setup diskette …

...you have Tiny Elvis installed. Yes, someone still has a download for it. Now this brings back laughs and memories from the early 90s on my 486. Does not work well in Win95 because it shrinks to the taskbar rather than an animated icon on the desktop. Windows 3.1 for best effect. https://www. …

Re: CVX-2 : covox adapter

and it's not stereo if the computer have two LPT ports, in theory it could play stereo music using covoxes, so far i only know FastTracker-II that can output such 'stereo' music using two LPT ports. In theory, even quadrophony is possible this way. MOD Play Pro could control up to four mono DACs, …

Re: 8.4GB dos 6.22 issues only shows 16MB?!?

DOS 7.x is already LBA-aware, perhaps that's why it's working there (ie. it doesn't rely on original in13h). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOS_7 I would try to use another computer for formatting/partitioning. If you're lucky, then this computer will autodetect that drive geometry. Btw, there's an …
