SOLVED.... I used the SB 2.0 installation suite from creative labs. The diagnose-tool from creative ran without any issues. Keen2 is running in Adlib mode, the same does Doom. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13450020/Anchor%208bit/WP_20151215_15_48_54_Pro.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/ …

It's really funny. I had Doom running in Adlib mode, though all other games are giving a really noisy adlib. I suspect the card of having Adlib capability in some sort of way. Took a leap of faith, and downloaded the j98mf-002.zip file, though it has some issues. (it's the right installer) It is …

Well.... I got this clone of an SB 2.0. And it just makes horrible adlib sound. It's like really bad. And after some searching I have noticed a number of sites referring to something like FM-Something-driver. And I just thought that when it's a clone of the SB 2.0. Then can I just use the old Dos- …

I like how you've managed to tame all those cables. Not an easy task in the small cases. Took me about 2 hour's each. Well.... Took one thing at a time, and managed cables, before mounting the next. Before managing each type of cables, I would try out unmounted hardware in order to figure out how …

Well.... Did a lot of stuff today (through the night) Upgraded my Unisys from a EGA Gfx controller, to a ET-3000 VGA-EGA Controller. If I recieve that ISA-IDE controller, then it will get an 500mb harddrive, else I will go for SCSI. Wich might be a bit easier on this machine. I don't know. Will see …

Have no idea on what games from mid-XP-era would be. Whenever I am thinking of 2005'ish games, I kind of thinking on Halflife2, Doom3 and the Battlefield franchise. Possible some of the Medal of honor games. Or call of duty. (funny they all are FPS games)

I would say that eighter a Geforce-FX5000 series (naturally in the high end) or some sort of Radeon 9000 series (9600 to 9800) are the cards to go with. Personally I like Radeon the best. Though the Radeon lacks some technology compared to Geforce, the Radeon's drivers are more easy to work with. I …

Lynx is actually current and actively maintained. You can run it on modern versions of Windows. http://invisible-island.net/lynx/ There are a few reasons to test with Lynx: Lynx constitutes a good base subset of browser technologies Verifies usage is possible for browsers with JS disabled Helps …

Sorry... If it works in Firefox, Chrome and IE, I consider it to be useable enough. Lynx is textbased right? I really do not know if an dynamic ASP.NET Framework 4.0 C# and SQL can be made for Lynx. It is not static html. ;-) Aren't those server-side technologies? All that gets sent to the browser …

I have used this CPU for a casebadge since 1995. On this computer, there are no "spot" for a casebadge. So I just glued it, using some sort of generic plastic/leather-glue. Though it has the exact same dimensions as a standard square casebadge. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13450020/ …

Will leave it up to someone else to do a mobile version, when it's up and running. If such is desired, the people who wants to have it, are free to create it them self's. And then they have 100% control of the mobile layout. Have designed the button now. Only thing is missing is to get a hold on …
