Re: SMC (WD) StarCard PLUS (WD/8003S) Win3.1?

Don't think I've ever had any difficulty getting similar age creative cards working under 3.11. You could try grabbing the latest drivers from Creative (click view all downloads at the bottom of the page for DOS/Windows 3.1x). Would you suggest starting with a fresh install or upgrading from the …

I have an SMC StarCard PLUS 8003S. Works fine in WFW3.11. Is it possible to get it to work in Win3.1? Are there drivers for it (I haven't found any)? Could I somehow pull the WD80XX.DOS file from WFW3.11 and use it in Win3.1? How? Edit: to clarify I'm asking if anyone knows of a packet driver for …

Thanks for all the responses. Cuttoon, where would I apply the hot glue? I’m imagining putting a drop where the plastic clip would normally touch the ram, is that what you mean?

Broken B bank memory slot

One of the retaining clips on the B bank of my compaq deskpro 425is broke off, preventing me from properly securing a memory stick in that bank. So, I currently have 8mb in A, 8mb in C, and 4mb in D, which the system recognizes. I have a couple questions about this. 1. Anyway to repair these banks? …

OK, now I've got the XTIDE card working with the latest v2 XUB. Here's what I had to do: 1. Switch the jumpers on the card to high speed 2. Load the ide_at.bin firmware from the bin file 3. Configure the firmware as follows: 2 IDE controllers, first one set to 16 bit ISA, second one set to XTIDE rev …

I got it! It was v1.1.5! (found here: https://code.google.com/archive/p/xtideuniver … lbios/downloads) For some reason I can't get the 2.x.x versions to boot my setup but v1.1.5 works fine.

OK, so I did try that one, but it's like...12k? after I configure it, but the GW card only came with a 28C64 EEPROM which is too small for it (right?)...how did they get one of those on here? Is there a way to cut it down?

I recently got the GlitchWorks XTIDE card and set it up. Worked great! Then I decided I wanted to customize some things with xtidecfg.com.... Apparently that was a BIG MISTAKE. I didn't notice the "Load from EEPROM" option and instead started from ide_at.bin from the xtide website. Now it doesn't …

I think I answered my own question, I’ll just use a cable that isn’t keyed for pin 20 being gone.

p.s. I would prefer not to cut out pin 20 since one of my devices (DOM) needs power on that pin (but doesn’t need a cable!)

So a standard IDE cable doesn’t fit the connector on the xtide (glitchworks) card because of the extra pin. What’s the standard approach? Cut out the extra pin? Use a cable that isn’t keyed?
