BTW why some Maui 1.0 cards have and some don't have WaveBlaster connector? If is one striped-down variant, are all with same waveROM size? (when Tropez/TBS-2001/TBS-2000/Tropez32 existing with 4MB, 2MB or 1MB ROMs) I saw in another thread that that is not actually a waveblaster connector, but …

Dur.... guess I should have looked closer at the screenshots. I still don't think the netware stuff needs to be there unless you are planning on logging into a Netware network. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetWare It looks like the original owner had some config.sys and autoexec.bat menus set up. …

Ok.. you can probably get rid of the netware stuff in autoexec.bat. I would just try REM ing out those lines. What is the PCMPLUS stuff for in config.sys? I am also not sure that those addresses will need to be excluded from EMM386. Also not sure that the current exluded addresses really need to be …

I have a stash of screws that I saved from old, dead laptops that I took apart. Sometimes I see people on eBay selling a bunch of screws. There really aren't that many different screw sizes for laptops. They are pretty standardized. You really only have 3 or 4 different diameters and a bunch of …

The fastest XP setup would just be the fastest modern Intel processor coupled with the fastest video card that has drivers for XP. Nothing complicated. The CPU would be running in 32-bit mode but that's OK. Why would it have to be running in 32-bit mode? XP does come in an x64 flavor as well. The …

The one with BNC connectors is just a regular VGA cable. Some higher end monitors and video editing hardware had BNC connectors on them. The Reveal cable was probably some specific cable for a Reveal branded video capture card or something like that. Good luck figuring out out the exact kit it came …

It has a Jazz16 chipset. Maybe the stock jazz16 software will work. I also have a generic Jazz16 sound card. I think you can find it on vogons drivers.

PCMCIA was definitely one of those things that got a lot easier with Win95. Are the DOS drivers and card services for the PCMCIA controller itself installed? These need to be loaded before any drivers and the cards themselves are loaded. They were usually provided by CardSoft and seem to be …

Your theory sounds good to me. I just looked at the original user manual and neither of those jumpers is listed. Do you have a CT1350B that you can test with?
