I am using an Audigy 2 ZS with the patched Audigy 1 Dos drivers. Everything thing else works as it should sound wise. I have been trying out alternative cd drivers but so far no luck. I have also confirmed that the cd volume is up on the mixer. This one has stumped me.

I have a Pentium 4 build that I have placed XP and 98 on. I also have a FreeDoOS HDD that I have been experimenting with. The only issue I have yet to overcome is the fact that whenever I try playing a game that has CD audio, with the CD in the drive, it does not detect it and will not play the cd …

Do you mind sharing your process for getting himemx to work and the settings you used? I have an almost identical setup (Same motherboard, 6800 ultra, P4 CPU.) but I am not sure what I need to do to get the memory situation figured out? I have 3gb of RAM installed but want it to only see 512mb of it …

Just acquired but have yet to pick up an old Apple IIe. I have boxes of C64 Single Sided/DD floppies from a lot I acquired years ago. My question is will I be able to use these SSDD floppies with the Apple II? I keep reading it requiresDual Sided Double Density but will the Singles work?

Awesome! That does look like it may be it. However, the eBay link says it is only 10" deep. The 5150 is about 16" so it would hang off the back a bit so not 100% sure that is what is used in that picture. It may be though because there is not a good view of the rear of the computer which may be …

Well I have fixed it. It may have been a dumb mistake on my part. I went ahead and enabled DMA on the Hard Drive. Then I realized I still had a flash drive plugged into the rear of the computer from when I was transferring drivers over. Soooo, it may have been just the flash drive preventing a clean …

Dos anyone on here use the DosStart! gui on their machine? I have been messing around with it but was wondering if there is a place to get some icons, other than the ones that came with it, for the desktop shortcuts I have made. They seem to all be in .DRW format.
