Now we just need a crysis demake for windows 3.11 so we can ask that question. WinDoom may be the best we can get Yes, WinDoom is totally playable in my Windows 3.11 configuration. Sound is OK, and no problems with music. Of course, the very same WinDoom .exe works in Windows 11 too. I will make a …

I guess the machine I mentioned above doesn't know that, it was clocking 90MB/sec on a DOS benchmark on it's SSD... not up to full speed, but way above 10MB edit: the spindle SATA drive was at about 10MB/sec though. I guess I had another SSD when I got about 10MB/s. Now it looks like 40MB/s max …

The main project for me... is to have all Windows versions running on the same PC. I'm almost there. Only for NT 3.1 couldn't find a proper PCI disk controller but I'm still looking. I have Windows 3.11, NT3.51 and Windows 95A all running fine with sound and video support on this Ryzen configuration …

Is the SATA card just to enable 32bit access or does Windows 3x not work with the motherboard sata ports at all? I use PCI to SATA card for the Enhanced mode, which is of course a big deal. From what I've tested and other reports from Win3x.org forum - you cannot start Windows 3.1 in Enhanced mode …

Well, I did try the newer version of MH32BIT.386 and I got an incompatibility error. Windows 3.11 won't load anymore unless 32bitacces=off. I don't know how many drives does expect Micro House driver. With the older version I did get an error on 4 drives (as in the picture of my earlier post) but I …

I posted a video on youtube about Windows 3.11 running on Ryzen 3900x from SSD and someone asked how about gaining 32bit disk access... i'm wondering if you use microhouse fastdisk software suite and driver to gain access to 32 bit disk access. i know its kinda pointless on a fast system like this, …

This Philips sound card which uses a repainted CMI8738 chip. I'm curios if the drivers are better in DOS... Edit: It looks like there are no official DOS drivers. I guess those from C-Media might work. On the other hand, this card still has a valid page with drivers and everything: https://www. …

This 17'' Samsung SyncMaster monitor* 1600x1200 flat panel. Bought new in 2002 for about 250$. It was more of a rescue mission than a purchase. (it was collecting dust in my parents garage) Still works and it is very bright. The only problem is the VGA cable. I have to twist the cable to get a …

This fake Intel SL283 (supposedly a Pentium 233MMX) with a Zida TX98-3D motherboard. So this is a MMX 166 which has been overclocked to 233? Sort of... Most repainted Pentium CPUs were not MMX. Anyways the board works and it's jumperless, I can set the CPU to 233Mhz, but I guess it's not stable.

I managed to install Windows NT 3.51 and NT4 using various SSDs + a cheap PCI to SATA adapter with VIA 6421 chipset. For NT4 there are plenty PCI - IDE/SATA compatible cards. (even some SATA II cards have drivers) My way of installing Windows NT 3.51/4 is by creating a bootable DOS 2GB FAT16 …

Even if it did work, this board is so new that it would have severe ACPI, chipset, and other motherboard resource problems. But for reference, I already had a lot of problems trying to get a Yamaha PCI card working using VxD drivers working on an Intel 945 chipset. Also for reference, on my …
