Hello All. I created this thread to see if anyone can point out any programs, drivers, and patches that will make the lives of people trying to bring back old computers good. So, I will post some useful sites and tips and you guys can comment too. Just don't spam, or give useless information.
Some useful sites: (I will probably add to this later)
1. http://kmeleonbrowser.org/ A browser that is modern(-ish) that runs on 95, 98, 2000, and so on.
2. http://files.mpoli.fi// A site that has A BOATLOAD of driver files for DOS up to 98
3. http://www.oldapps.com/ It has a bunch of older programs, including Flash, Netscape Navigator, and so on.
4. http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/staff/steveb/cpaap/pfe/ A useful text editor for Windows 3.1 up to XP.
5. http://www.georgpotthast.de/sioux/packet.htm A website with a whole bunch of packet drivers for DOS.
As always, have fun 😀
Q: Why didn't Intel call the Pentium the 586?
A: Because they added 486 and 100 on the first Pentium and got 585.999983605.
