Another one saved, nice work!

Has anyone tried to retrofit a mechanical switch? I think one brand used them. Prior to reading this thread, I never realized the amount of signal degradation the pass through introduced. I checked my Win98 system today and yes, far dimmer and not as sharp with pass through. Reluctant to modify my …

I used 2 Asus fans that I never used from a P6T Deluxe 1366 motherboard. Cut slits in the fan cages and hung them on the end of the boards then tie strapped to tighten. Very quiet and push air on both sides of the boards. I see their still sold at Newegg https://www.newegg.com/p/1YF-003V-01VG7

That looks like something I’ll try! I enjoy my main gaming system and have a pretty massive installed library that I try to keep to years 2016 and up. Other systems I have are generally kept period correct matching hardware and software. Recently I broke my rule and installed “Hard Reset” on my …

Wondering if anyone has run into this issue before and could possibly give me some advice. I’ve built up a modded Compaq Portable III (had a bad display then PSU died) using an AMD X2. Under Win98, Win7 and Win10 I’ve found many older games don’t respond to the directional keys, however, in any of …

Do the ones I posted near the beginning of the thread not work for you? I noted earlier in this thread that the ones you initially posted worked on my 180200, allowing both the CD and sound to function properly. Maybe those original drivers only works on the 180200 and not the 181200. Anyone know …

EDIT - WARNING: DO NOT TRY AND INSTALL AN IDE TO CF ADAPTER IN AN LTE LITE MACHINE. IT FRIES THE HDD CONTROLLER. ...The next and main problem is that I'm not even sure the original drive is a standard 44-pin 2.5" IDE drive - even though it's presented in the BIOS as such, and has the standard (what …

Thanks for the offer of help kleung21 . An update on my attempts to create a "correct" dual partitioned CF card. For now, I've created a fresh Win95 install on a Transcend2GB 133x card with no diagnostics partition. I'm aware many people say this particular card is not compatible ( https://www. …

I also really want to thank cyclone3d for posting those image files! Found myself with my original unreadable floppies and the only drivers I could find online, other than these, were ones that didn't support sound. Didn't realize this until after I installed them. About the install, I too ran into …

That’s a great game. I have it on my Win95/3Dfx system and always thought it was well designed. Never tried an install on XP

Created several belts using VHS tape and no more slippage but it still fails to read even with the stepper activity. I think it’s related to the loss of full 5v at the ribbon. Even though I’ve supplied it, I think other parts of the controller must be bad too. So I now have the disc image working on …

urbanus , wondering how you made out. I've been struggling with the exact same issues as you and have tried two different CF adapters and five CF cards ranging from 256mg to 2gb. All the effort results in the same "missing operating system" message. I initially tried the raw image file that urbanus …

Yes the belts are an issue but I ended up using an elastic band and it handled the torque well. Problem was with the "601" error, it never gets any head/track movement unless I manually crank it in, then on powerup it moves back to track 0/1.

When the IBM drive was still booting ok, I had used DriveImage 2002 under Win98 to clone it to the larger Seagate. However, that clone wouldn't boot, resulting in the "controller error" message. Again, probably because the CMOS is setup for the smaller drive. I think both GHOST and Clonezilla are …

I am totally stuck here... I cannot get this system to boot from any device I try. The original IBM 344mb drive had a corrupted Win95 install but would at least load and attempt to run, locking up after Windows started with Explorer crashing. Using an 40 to 44 pin adaptor on a desktop Win98 PII, I …

Nah it's fine, I posted it for anyone who reads. THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I really appreciate you taking the time and posting those links and your procedures. Just last week I purchased one online and couldn't get it to work under Win98 with the Non-Raid drivers yet, playing around successfully …
