Do they read other burnt CDs? Some old CD drives aren't good with CD-R / CD-RW media in general.

Correct, that is what I meant.

Fist off - Did you install CTCM while installing the cards drivers ? because, when doing a proper install theres like 10 lines of code in autoexec.bat, and 2 on config.sys That's what the installer tends to do, yes. But for an SB16 PnP the only thing really needed is just calling CTCM from Autoexec …

That's great. Odyssey Client is a generic utility that often enables WPA2 when the hardware supports it but the official utility does not.

Rats, and I just got my hopes inflated. 😀 That's not so bad, though. Many routers allow combined WPA/WPA2 encryption, so a lot of people would be satisfied with that.

Take an iPad and connect a retro keyboard through PC/AT-PS/2-USB-Thunderbolt-Lightning plug adapter. Job complete. No need to thank me.

So it's another chipset confirmed to work with Win9x with WPA2? Cool!

Ralink RT2561 cards support WPA2 in Win9x/ME after tweaking as described here. Your card comes up as RT2500 which is a related chipset, so it may also work, but I'm not sure.

Any DOS game that has no quit function and requires you to reboot. Someone should make a list of those.
Re: Ideas for dual-booting 98SE and NT4 on the same drive?
Posted on 2020-03-18, 15:02
Never mind, I wrote something and then I realized that NT4's NTFS not working properly with flash storage makes it problematic... Primary, inactive -- 2GB FAT16. NT4 will be installed here. Primary, active -- rest of the drive, FAT32, 98SE will be installed here. This is what I would do if you think …

Re: The 65MB Win98 ram limit

As I said before, I ran MEMMAKER. It obviously used it's own version of HIMEN.SYS. That actually possibly explains it. If you ran MEMMAKER from C:\ZIP\DOS622\DOS, it probably found its HIMEM/EMM386 there and put them into your startup files. Of course, this is not something anyone should do after …

It's worse than that. This is what he had in his Config.sys according to one of the ealier posts: DEVICE=C:\ZIP\DOS622\DOS\HIMEM.SYS DEVICE=C:\ZIP\DOS622\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS NOMOVEXBDA So it's not even a previous DOS installation (which Win9x would have gracefully converted from), but someone (OP …

Re: Aladdin (DOS) music - SB16 vs. SBPro vs. WSS
Posted on 2020-03-07, 19:23
Looks like it's gonna be a while till I get to my AWE64 system to test on a real system. What I can say is that in DOSBox, Aladdin plays stereo music with SBPro option selected, even if DOSBox itself has sbtype=sb16. But I don't know if DOSBox emulates a real SB16 in this regard.
