DOSBox 16:10 resolutions in WFW3.11
Posted on 2018-06-24, 02:44
I'm trying to get Windows for Pen Computing running in DOSBox Turbo. It's probably a dead end, but first thing is trying to get windows to display in a 16:10 ratio. I'm guessing there is a way to modify the S3 drivers with a custom resolution. If anybody has any ideas or already got this working …

Found this next to the dumpster: IBM Thinkpad 1161 , in really excellent condition and fully working (though dead battery and no original PSU) - this month has been a lucky one talking about my recently found/bought ThinkPads... this should be AGP based, with Celeron CPU, 32 MB RAM and chipset …

Sarcasm aside, yes the hyperdrive "mod" is something pretty damn cool. Apparently you would take your expensive and fragile compact mac, send it to new york, they do the modifications, and send it back. I'll do a separate video on it, as it doesn't seem to work at the moment. At least in initial …

Thank you Craigslist! http://i.imgur.com/oq8jYrIm.jpg Oh and $40 of this month's grocery money. I'll post a video later of me turning them on. I want to see what a hyperdrive enabled mac plus can do! Lmao. Well now you can enjoy ramen noodles while enjoying vintage Macintoshs. And caned creamed …

Didn't even watch the video. I thought you meant it was still in working condition. In fact... I spent quite some time convincing the guy who loaned me that quarter that it'll be a waste of time to hook the drive to a computer and see if it still works. So, it was already broken? If so then who …

You got a micro hard drive apart and back together? :exclamation: Also, took pics of my ALR minus the NIC because I can't decide which one I want to use. Intel vs 3com, both EISA, both fast ethernet. http://imgur.com/a/jog7X From hinsight... I should probably have done the filming before tearing it …

Hooked up a newly acquired Samsung SyncMaster 215TW to both my 6-core gaming rig and my Packard Bell 486. I'm planning on hooking up gaming systems to it as well since it has composite, s-video, and component. Has the following features and connectors: VGA (Analog) DVI (Digital) Composite S-Video …

http://srandista.modan.sk/PC/GT240.jpg Wow, two slots definitely needed for that. *sarcasm* I assume it's simply because the shroud is simply too tall and took up two slots. Yeah, on a mainstream GPU the oversized fan keeping things ultra quiet is a smart choice. The graphic designers and casual …

What year is it? Still this nonsense? Not trying to start an argument, but from years of experience I can tell you AMD = heat failure. Even on new models. Selling new laptops i've had at least two AMD models fail within a 30 day period and zero Intel models. AMD may have performance advantages at …
