Greetings Vogons friends, I got an IBM PS/1 model 2011 computer, and few days ago I cleaned its inside with an air compressor (slowly and carefully with lowest power). I also replaced its dead battery (not soldered but luckily socketed) with a brand new DS12C887 battery, due to the error 161 and 163 …

IRC. Lovely golden years.. I was an Administrator on several famous local/global IRC servers for long time during 90's. If that great community needs an IRC place, well for either technical-chit-chat or laiding-back, rest&chat purposes (well, if you got time for that tho :P) I'd love to setup an IRC …

Have you tried: Downloading cutemouse21b4.zip, extract it and inside "bin" folder, copy ctmouse.exe into C:, like it'd be: c:\ctmouse.exe (You'll only need this file) and then add the following line into your autoexec.bat file: C:\ctmouse.exe and restart your system, try a DOS game/application that …

I have no experience with either option I'm suggesting but: 1) Looks like there are some modified Nvidia drivers which *may* work: http://blog.livedoor.jp/blackwingcat/archives/1114373.html (Some versions require KernelEx patched OS) I'd atleast try this - http://w2k.flxsrv.org/cgi-bin/dl.cgi?file= …

Dear friends, I'm looking for Zotac's GT220 PCI VGA (1GB) drivers for Win2k Professional. I'm sick and tired of looking for that. Does anyone has any idea/link regarding the topic? Card: https://www.zotac.com/lk/product/graphics_card/gt220 Many thanks in advance!

Hello everyone. I've an IBM PC 300GL, model 6563. It currently has NUMBER NINE SR9 8MB 2X AGP vga card. It runs fine however it's too low for my needs. I'd like to play -not so heavy- 3D games and run 3D modelling (nothing professional, just for fun) softwares. Therefore, I need to replace it with …

Using ES1930/ES1989 drivers, there is no mixer that's included with the driver. I tried manually downloading DOS versions of ESSVol, ESSMixer executables, however these tools couldn't detect the audio card. It's really disturbing..

Hi retroers. I've an IBM PC 300GL computer which has its own internal PC speakers, (not beeps and buups, that's real speakers in the PC case), but it has a horribly high speaker volume level and it's quite loud and disturbing. How to decrease the volume level on those computers? Either with jumpers, …

how can I see what are free IRQs and which ones are in use, on my system? When the sound card's IRQ changes to 9 or 10, is there something other than the printer that takes IRQ 7 and pushes the sound card onto something else? The printer should be able to share IRQ 7 with sound. It seems there is …

Hi skitters, many thanks for your prompt and detailed reply! I have attached the IRQs list, it seems IRQ 7 is empty, and that should be perfect for dos-gaming, as few DOS game titles such as Prince of Persia requires IRQ7. I'd like to move the soundcard (This is an onboard card on IBM), to that IRQ. …
