ANOTHER UPDATE: I tried YET ANOTHER version of the driver. This time it CONNECTED TO THE NETWORK using Odyssey, but locked up after sending out 10 or so packets. So yay. Why does it keep locking up? This is very annoying.

Update: Tried a newer version of the driver. Now it reads "adapter not available" before locking up the system. Great.

Thanks for the link! So here's what it does: -Installs fine -Loads -I can select the WPC54G as the wireless card -It then displays "disconnected" and an IP address of 0.0.0.0 -And locks up the system entirely. Mouse can't move, nothing responds. I can't seem to remedy this. But I'll try a different …

No, the slot is a cardbus one for sure - I've run cardbus cards in it countless times. Besides, the card is detected and running properly, gives itself an IP address and everything, it's just that the WiFi client software isn't communicating with it!

Okay, so I noticed a thread earlier about WPA2 WiFi on Windows 98. The Linksys WPC54G card was mentioned. I got one at a thrift store for $7 the other day, new in box! On the box and in the documentation, this card explicitly claims to be able to do the whole shebang - WPA2 security included - on …

Hmm, I think it's from sometime in the early 60's - not sure specifically though! One of these days I'm going to get my hands on one of those Ampex tape machines.

mount c c:\documents\gwbasic Methinks you make too many assumptions. Find out for sure what the actual path of your GWBASIC folder is before attempting to mount it. Edit: i.e., if you open command prompt and type c: cd \documents\gwbasic Would it work? I don't think the Windows 7 directory …

So you want something that will copy until the disk is full then ask you to insert the next disk etc?

I thought there was such a program/driver/TSR. Something that acted as software MIDI under DOS, playing (as I remember it) through the OPL3 chip.

Any system with a higher-clock Pentium Coppermine or Tulatin and a Voodoo 3 will kick butt for 1999 just fine.

Koltoroc is probably right. And as far as sound cards go, a SoundBlaster Live is probably entirely kickbutt enough for 2000. Maybe a 5.1 version, and wasn't there a Gold one too?

I'm listening to the CBS Great Performances version of Beethoven's 5th Symphony conducted by Bernstein, which I picked up at the local record store for five bucks today. 100% analog in the entire audio chain from the fingers of the musicians to my eardrums and everything in between. And I wouldn't …
