Is more like the subcontractor in charge to wipe Sony e-Waste trash didn't care at all to do their job completely. Very common in e-recycle world. Time is money, and marking stuff as disposable as soon as you can is the rule... Specially if also Sony didn't paid for the "premium" service because "why the f*ck?! It is just trash" (tm).
Yeah, you figure that something as simple as zeroing out a drive would be done, but nope...I should hunt down that insurance salesman via LinkedIn and tell him that his data was not sanitized properly. This is the same company that screwed the pooch on millions of PlayStation Network users, after all.
I accidentally trashed the Japanese Win98 install trying to get a Cardbus USB2 adapter going, so it’ll be reinstalled later. I wanted one machine but somehow ended up with 3. There’s a few thing that needs to be figured out - MicroSD-to-IDE or mSATA-to-IDE storage? Swap the VL2020 solder-tab batteries with a slimline ML1220 battery holder? Replace its thermal pad with thermal paste? Max the RAM to 320MB? Battery pack rebuild?
I got TIE Fighter and Space Quest 3 going. The Neomagic MagicGraph 128XD onboard is not a bad card and certainly more compatible than the later NeoMagic Magicmedia 256AV (which has an AC97 audio controller embedded as well). It has an ESS Solo-1 for DOS, so ESFM OPL3. Here’s a comparison shot of it running Win98 DOS mode versus a MacBook Air 11 running DOSBox.
There’s also the machine by itself running Gods, MS Flight Simulator 5.0 and Commander Keen Episode 4.
Gods shows some minor scrolling issues but both MSFS5 (VESA 1.2) and Keen4 is decently smooth.
A 400Mhz Dixon-128 mobile means that it has a bit more ooomph for the old school DOS stuff, but I am not sure how effective is cpuspd in slowing it down - Test drive 3 is still twitchy as hell. Wing commander 2 seems to work well though.
