I don't quite understand your goal: are you trying to find software that specifically will not run on windows > 95?

I should have said "I don't see any way that can be exploited that wouldn't also apply to an TLS encrypted connection" Also who cares what chrome is doing were talking about 90s browsers brug

try a different hard drive and/or take the one that's in there out and test it fully on another machine Thanks I did, I was able to install W95 on that same HDD through another computer. Guess I should search for another HDD drive to try in the Vectra I mean test it with a manufacturer drive …

Re: 32-bit OS that will run best on 8MB 386sx-16
Posted on 2019-12-14, 22:06
So 8MB 0-wait memory + 386sx16 + 256kB L2 cache + 4GB CF card = barely acceptable Windows 95 machine IMO It might help a lot to use a video card with Windows acceleration. If you don't have acceleration, the CPU needs to draw everything. A 386SX would benefit hugely from a Windows accelerator, …

Windows 95B is up and running just fine on this beast I had to reflash my XUB ROM to the "386" version (was using the XT+ version before that employs the 286 instruction set) in order to get the CF card out of "MS-DOS Compatibility Mode". The 386 build of XUB contains the "Windows 95 hack" for this …

Re: DIP-14 OSC replacement with jumpers?
Posted on 2019-12-13, 16:53
@stamasd, the NB3N511 sounds amazing. It is capable up to 200MHz (25MHz x8) and one could have clock divider for the 25MHz crystal to have lower frequencies in the end result as well. (For example to have something like 25MHz divided by 8 and then multiplied by 1 gives 3,125MHz.) Having a range …

(edit2) Huh, this project really keeps me researching. I found an even better alternative: https://www.onsemi.com/products/clock-timing/clock-generation/pll-clock-generators/nb3n511 It's a small (SOIC-8) PLL clock multiplier that takes a crystal from 5 to 32MHz and multiplies its frequency from 2x …
