They might have the twist inside, so that might not be a solution

I don't know if they're rare actually, I think they are just undocumented as being able to fully utilize both standards. So the drive in itself might not be rare, but the information of it being able to read/write both standards is. But yeah at least you can spot an LS120 drive easily, while these …

Four-drive floppy controllers exist but aren't common. I bought one new years ago and still have it in my XT. I would not use a 1.2MB drive for writing 360KB disks. The write head is narrower and the track width is different. But you can get away with it if you only use new disks that haven't been …

A solution would be to find a 1.2MB disk drive that works fine with 360KB disks (for reading and writing). I know they exist because I have one. It formats 360KB disks perfectly and then my 8088's disk drive (that's definitely a 360KB disk drive) can perfectly read from it.

Yes. Take a look at your BIOS, where you can configure which type of drive is A and which type of drive is B.

Oh yeah that makes sense ^^

You need the "playmidi" software found in the DOS drivers, I don't think you can access to the opl3 with windows media player

Prehaps we could somehow patch the US/eu release to support NV1 as well with those files ? ^^

There is an unofficial improved USB driver for Windows 95 though. This is the "lonecrusader" available here http://www.win3x.org/win3board/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1638

Yeah not everybody is going to pay tons of money into that hobby, especially when you can get most of what you want for cheap ^^ I never paid anything over 60€. And except that 286 that was 60€ I don't think I really went over 30/40€ (and I don't often pay over 30/40€)
Weird socket 7 mobo looking for newer bios
Posted on 2018-07-07, 14:09
Hello everyone ! I have this weird AT motherboard with SiS 5596/5597 chipset with integrated video and audio from 1996 or 1997. Unfortunately, the bios is rather old (8/8/1996 according to the POST string) and I'd like to have an updated versions in order to support newer CPUs and maybe improve …

ATi Rage 2 PCI and AGP seem really fast as well ! Speedsys reports over 70MB/s of bandwidth with PCI bus or AGP (with FASTVID)

VGA to composite/svideo are quite inexpensive as well, I can record any old computer with that

I have a question : do you guys think an adapter for CGA RGB output could be made to turn the picture from "RGB mode" to "composite mode" while still displaying a sharp picture on an RGB monitor but with all the appropriate colors instead ? The hardware would check each couple of 2 pixels and turn …
Re: Does This AT Case Exist w/ Turbo Display

Well all the AT cases that I've seen with LED displays (not that many actually) had 3 wires, but that's not gonna change anything : three wire turbo button can do the exact same job as a two wire button ; just plug two of the three pins and it should be good (the middle pin is usualy the common wire …
