The "Speaker" and "Microphone" jacks suggest it might be voice capable. I have long been intrigued by the idea of recording my telephone conversations with my PC, or using my PC as an answering machine, or even just using my handy PC headset to talk on the phone, but I have been completely …

It seems unlikely that it should be completely impossible to install from the floppy version. I see now that this problem has come up before (see as in http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=27590 and http://www.dosbox.com/comp_list.php?showID=548&letter=S ) but that no solution was identified. ftp …

Doesn't even need the linux file systems, it can run off the same fat32 or ntfs partition win9x\2k\XP does. I hear about new Linux variants every now and then that don't require fancy repartitioning and/or can actually use a swap file on the same partition as the rest of the Linux installation. (I …

A bit of Googling suggests you will need to disable EMS. (I think typing EMS=FALSE will work; if it doesn't, you will need to change the ems=true line in your DOSBox.conf.) Loadfix might also be worth a try, but no one has mentioned that before. (Just type loadfix before trying to start the …

I seem to recall some people have had success with GameWiz32 (which runs in Windows alongside DOSBox), but if DOSShark doesn't work, I don't know how much more effective that would be. There's also The Infinity Machine , which runs in DOSBox. Alternatively you could just use a port like the SNES …

DOSBox might work if you decrease the emulated cycles far enough. But there have been many threads here in the past in which people have attempted to use the serial port passthrough of DOSBox with older applications, and you may not be successful even if you decrease the speed of DOSBox as far as it …

What also doesn't work is this: You use one adapter from USB to PS/2, then one from PS/2 to serial, going through the KVM box, this breaks it. It only works on machines that actually accept PS/2, it seems. I don't know why. The question is entirely unclear to me. What exactly are you trying? Does …

Silly question, but why don't you just sit down in front of your retro machines and, you know, play some games?
