Re: Panda 386v A20 gate problem
Posted on 2022-10-16, 01:17
Edit: In CMOS Setup, is there a "FAST A20" option? If so, please try changing the setting and try again. >> Maybe Windows 95 just doesn't recognize your A20 gate type. DOS 5/6 itself can boot with A20 in either state. Good thought, many bios that have it it is enabled by default but maybe not in …

Re: Can an older motherboard function without the CMOS battery?
Posted on 2022-10-15, 16:26
Most all 286, 386 and 486 boards can run without a battery or with dead battery. Yes you will get cmos error so will have to set the bios options and save them. As long as you do not turn it off those options will be saved even if rebooting many times...that is the only inconvenience.... Most 286 …

The 2144-51 recovery cd is here: https://archive.org/details/ibmaptiva2144m51recoverycd. Not sure why when I tried to get the ISO ten days ago archive org gave me an error.

Re: 486 motherboard or keyboard issue??
Posted on 2022-10-15, 01:19
Yes please post a picture of the motherboard. Curious what you mean by serial keyboard as no Soyo 486 motherboard I ever saw has a "serial" connector for the keyboard, most all are classic AT or PS2 type I ever saw.

Have only one G450 so cannot tell. Do have a few G200 and it does seem to share same memory bandwidth with 8 or 16Mb. so as I said I do not know ;p

I do not have a story but running an (edited) driver for early OS does sometimes work in newer OS . That is common knowledge. However having an OS specific DLL work (as in the nVidia control Panel for said same version driver) under a different OS would require re-writing the DLL or replacing the …

Are you sure that is a D509 V2 ? The jumper layout is diff than others in the archives. can you take a picture of the label on the drive ? What issues did you fix ? What computer/floppy controller is it connected too ? I see it is jumped DS1, RD, MS, DC and LD.... which seems correct for some PC …

Good to know ! I DL'd the v2.2 ISO off archive org and saw it does have a mskbd98.inf and a good quick install guide in PDF. If you wanted to use the keyboard under Win95 would probably have to use the v1.2 ISO as the v 2.2 pdf says "IntelliType Pro 2.2 does not support 16-bit operating systems or …

Thanks ! That can help. Quick search tell me: We need to look for MS IntelliType software/driver...possibly v 1.0 or v2.1 or v3 (or maybe - but doubt - v4). Looked and v5 (2003) only lists newer Pro and USB keyboards in the inf. added: some archive org stuff you probably already found: keyboard: …

Re: CMOS battery
Posted on 2022-10-09, 01:58
maxtherabbit is right. You need to stop trying to use the hard drive and focus on getting the 3.5" working as "A" drive. If the computer sat too long the PSU, HD and floppies could be bad, capacitors fail quicker when not used for a long time (including those inside floppy drives). If it were me I …
