I got a Dell board with a nforce 4 chipset and I had no problems testing XP. I was underwhelmed with the performance so I thought hey maybe it runs 98 and maybe I get the chipset drivers for it. This damn system cuts off the mouse and keyboard quite randomly (usb or ps\2) in the middle of the …

I wonder If this is maybe fixable with something like nvidia inspector. My idea is to get a record of the driver settings from lets say forceware 65 and then apply that to a newer driver and maybe even turning off flags that where not possible to set with a lower direct x version. (can't find a …

the metal piece on the second pic should be the btx mount or what do you think?

Mine is actually a 830 stacker but has the option to be setup in btx config. I was going to comment on this. The Stacker 820 is astoundingly rare. In fact I'm not sure if it ever existed outside of press photos. ETA: spec sheet I just found a stacker, is it worth 65$ and a 2 hour drive? He sells …

I just bought a old Dell XPS710 and found out that the 730 is actually a flipped atx layout. And there is a somewhat clean mod on youtube to make it atx again. The guy just needs to calm down with his angle grinder. Modding that case and especially the btx variant was apperantely a thing in 2006 or …

A bit off-topic, but would a parallel port sound device on a PCIe parallel port card work for you? I got some success with that, and yes, in pure DOS, even though the parallel port wasn't listening on the legacy I/O address. This was with an OPL3LPT device. Yes it would work on my pc's that have no …

I don't understand: Do you need a special adaptor for coolers in BTX cases? Do the motherboards not use the retention points specific to the socket? I have little to no experience with BTX hardware obviously.😄 The mounting points are in the case, you screw the cooler on top after you installed the …

Hey nice to see a reply on my thread. I found the btx list in the forums after my post, I ordered a whole dell dimension 5150 for 10$ just a few minutes ago. I think I have to cut out the io plate tho it's stamped into the case it seems. So one of the Win98 pcs is complete, now I have 2 more of …

I have bought 2 btx boards and despite having a cooler, getting a btx case to mount it to is not an option. I have a 3d printer so I will be making a backplane for sure, but making a adapter to mount a different heatink/cooler is also on my mind. I'd like to hear about some suggestions! I was …

I'd be in for any new repro or fpga based solution that does not use ISA or the printer port. Preferably a real swiss knife of a soundcard that covers it all. I think a fpga solution is the way to go if people vote for all the bangs and whistles, since in theory have to worry less about old chips ( …

Hey guys let me quickly introduce myself. I am born in 84, got my c64 a snes and eventually a playstation, the usual stuff. My PC gaming experience by then was playing Doom, Battle Isle, Rockford, Sango Fighter and Mortal Kombat on somebody elses PC (mainly one of my cousins). In the end of 1995 I …
