True. There are lots of knowledgable people over here, with their vast experiences following suit. Most of the time, we get immediate and prompt answers which are more or less, precise to the point. There are lots of sites catering for old or vintage hardwares, and Vogons is one of them, and …

I guess you're keeping the extra RAM for XP. You can still install Win98SE. When the Win98 is going to reboot for the first time, towards the end of the installation, press F8 or boot from a Win98/FAT32 compatible dos floppy. Go to system.ini to edit the previously mentioned line. Then, reboot again …

Malik: TheMAN gave me a link to a thread you have made on another forum about this collection. I just personally hope that my name is not looked upon in a bad light, cause I must admit my name has not always been a good thing. But well as all normal people. Then people get older, and when they get …

If you want to maintain a classic MS-DOS 6.x or 5.x style, you have to create FAT-16 partitions, with 2GB limit per partition for a max of 8GB total accessible by those DOS. If you want more space, you need DOS 7.x which comes with Win98SE. You can then maintain a FAT-32 partition. If you won't be …

The last ATi cards with Win98/Me support (catalyst 6.2) are Rageon X8xx. Hd4850 do not have win98/me drivers. You need the older videocard for this, (GF 6800 is recommended). Install win98/me with only 512 Mb RAM inserted, then run msconfig.exe and check "use only 512 Mb RAM" checkbox. Then install …

*cough* smaller screenshots could have sufficed *cough* Maybe go over the link you embed there, possibly you are hotlinking the image and imageshack tries to prevent that (they need to make some money after all).

Uh...I think my images linked to imageshack lost track of the server. :sad: I don’t understand. You shouldn’t be hotlinking to any images on the vogons server; anything on ImageShack would be unaffected by any of the changes that were made in the last week. Snover, this is what I see on my screen : …

Sound Blaster's PCI cards' Dos Drivers require EMS memory to function. Which will put the machine in real mode. If these are not issues (some games may not like EMS while newer games may run better with protected-mode(non-ems)), then you may go ahead with it. Other alternatives incude a Vortex 2 …
