Anyone Sadistic enough to get a LAN working under DOS?
Posted on 2006-08-21, 01:51
Say getting a DOS 6.22 puter to see your Windows XP puter and vice versa? Wonder if there are some nice dummy write up's w/ links to the software needed. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
FYI: Dell Optiplex GXpro in 'slow mode' ~8mhz = too slow for Wing Commander 1 :(
Posted on 2006-08-17, 14:31
I bought a GXpro from Ebay a while back because of all the info that dvwjr graciously supplied HERE (scroll down to his long post) Was thinking the Cntl-Alt-/ to knock it down from a P200 to an 8mhz machine would do the trick. Turns out it makes the game run too slow! lol Oh well, back to the …

I'm just trying to dual-boot a Pentium 200 w/ MS-Dos6.22/Win3.11wfw and Win98se I've got an old 2 meg'r S3 that works w/ Windows3.11 Hmm.. wonder if I could have both hooked up? Nah.. that'll be too much work, I'll just uninstall win3.11 and just live w/ MS-DOS6.22

I tested the SCB-55 on both the PB and the Dell. Since the DB50xg was working on the Dell, no need to test on the PB. I swear, my luck is just down right awful with these old rigs. I paid thru the nose for a SCB-55/MPU-401AT combo off ebay yesterday. It'll be ~2 weeks before it arrives though. We'll …
Me again: Voodoo3 2000 PCI crashes Win3.11wfw
Posted on 2006-08-08, 03:18
I've flashed the V3 bios to the latest. Win3.11wfw takes a while to 'boot up', I get a 'ding' startup sound effect, then the screen freezes after load up + mouse is locked. Have to reboot cause it's locked up. I've tried both VGA and SVGA modes from C:\windows\setup hmmmm

Here's something very pecuilar. I have a SCB-55 (Roland Daughterboard) and a DB50XG (Yamaha Daughterboard) I have 2 MIDIs that are exclusive to each one that I can test: Gentle Love shows off DB50XG's ability to play fret noise All Stars shows off SCB-55's ability to have somewhat realistic clapping …
Re: Overlooked awesome XG Midi/FM PCI sound Card: YMF7xx???
Posted on 2006-08-01, 13:44
dvwjr, It's the GXpro 200 w/ USB :D I of course turned off the USB function, updated the bios to A10. It's just a single Pentium Pro 200 (with 256k cache). Thing was a mothball :( Took me a good 2 hours to clean it up. I tried doing the slowdown keystroke, but I guess I need to be at the dos prompt …

Posted on 2006-07-31, 04:08
I'm really REALLY surprised there wasn't THAT much talk about these chips on here, queststudios, or even dosgames! :shocked: I was at the local computer wholesale joint over the weekend rumaging thru their old sound card bin and I happened to find myself staring at a few PCI cards with the well …

Hmmm... running it in normal mode @ an abismal 640x480@16 colors and it's working okay soooo far. Guess it really is the vid card 🙁

I've got a Diamond Stealth 2 meg SE in my old Dell GXpro box I just got. Well, Windows98se installed okay, but it's been locking up on me frequently. I notice weird little white pixel dots around my desktop icons. If I drag a window over them or refresh they can go away. One time all I did was boot …

What flavor of Monitor do you guys suggest for ye ole mid 90's box?
Posted on 2006-07-13, 03:31
I guess there are two schools of thought (well, my thought at least) A) Stick with a 'vintage true' 13 or 14 inch VGA capable monitor B) Sky's the limit (WS, LCD, Front Projection, etc) Right now I have a ViewSonic GS790 (old faithful) 19 inch CRT. Well, it's not metro enough and it's clashing with …
Re: SCD-15 (SCB-55) is on it's way... now whats the best sound card to host it on (for a gamer)?
Posted on 2006-07-07, 17:39
Nope. I'm starting to think its the mobo since it has an onboard Crystal mix (but it's disabled in the Bios). Maybe just something funky w/ that Packard Bell Multimedia R515 pc
