Re: How much is worth?

Posted on 2022-07-01, 21:28

Ah Polak! I just spent $130 on a bunch of stuff I needed off Allegro.pl (a 5.25 floppy for 199 PLN)- their prices have gone up CONSIDERABLY since, say, 2016 - I was able to buy 386 highscreens and other clones for $60-$100 off there. I got my PS 1000 off there (complete!) for about $50. I would …

AWEUTIL's MPU-401 emulation for the EMU8K only works with real mode games without relying on any third-party utility. AWEUTIL's documentation confirms this. Why can't DOS? Because you fail to read and search for things that have already been done: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=83065 …

AWEUTIL's MPU-401 emulation for the EMU8K only works with real mode games without relying on any third-party utility. AWEUTIL's documentation confirms this. I find this really saddening and in fact, quite unjust. Windows can pull that kind of trick . Why can't DOS? My motivation to do this is …

I've cleaned up my IRQs and I'm still getting nowhere. AWE64 has exclusive use of IRQ7. There are no LPTs activated. Update: Duke Nukem 3D's setmain.exe gives us a helpful clue: Invalid Opcode at 1B43 1EC5 0002 0F34 130D 0246 031A BF35 F2B1 0000 21F8 0000 0020 Now, I've never had any idea how to …

I try to wait out the more bargainous purchases, however there are times that I’ve paid a sizable amount for various pieces, either because I needed/wanted something specific in a short space of time, or because there has only been a handful available and prices are steady. My Voodoo 5 5500 PCI …

Wow, we've gotten from 0 to 100 pretty quick. I think it's important we preserve hardware like this, that's why I try to keep things documented, publicly available and I post those capacitor threads every once in a while. It's not as much of a collector's item for me, but it's something I can study …

when you use CTCU to set PNP configuration, copy the config (ctpnp.cfg) to C:\ so CTCM can see it (otherwise you will get defaults). sounds like maybe you have mouse using same IRQ as sound or something. No way, the mouse has IRQ 12. However, what does in fact have the same IRQ as sound (5) is the …

Sounds like some serious resource conflicts going on if it’s able to destroy the file system, have you tried a different mouse driver ? No. And turning it off doesn't help. In general, any and every hang in DOS, nevermind what causes it, is a potential filesystem killer. All you gotta do is …

I have found out that if I unload CuteMouse and reload it, the errors are getting more severe. Perhaps it should be noted that my system normally invokes Copy code to clipboard 1 CTMOUSE whereas I did it with Copy code to clipboard 1 CTMOUSE /P /M /O

Hi, I'm having exactly the same issue as this op https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=11199 I'll be tracking here what I have: - FreeDOS 1.3 RC5 - SoundBlaster AWE64 Gold with 28MB upgrade - AWEUTIL 1.35 - CTCM 1.06 - Epox EP-D3VA It appears that for me, setting the PNP OS to "No" yields no effect …

in DOS
BTW, the pico version shipped with FreeDOS 1.3 does still use UNIX style line ending (Line Feed = LF). It's possible to compile the DOS port of pico in a way to use CR LF (Carriage Return + Line Feed) line ending, but the version shipped with FreeDOS isn't compiled with that option and there is no …

The only thing time I regret procrastinating is when 2 sc-55 popped up a couple of months apart for something like 70€. At that time I was saving my down payment and was really reluctant to spend on anything for non-essentials. I missed a PSX Link cable and a fanless GeForce 1650 Ti like this :[ …

How much is worth?

Posted on 2022-06-28, 07:47

As all of you I'm very much aware of scalping going on in retro hardware markets. Let's have a discussion about how much each part is worth to you. I'm doing this, because I'm afraid we'll sooner see the hardware destroyed and rotted away rather than sold at a reasonable price. To really rub it in - …
