BTW, regarding the floppy drive if it's the wide / slim type that fits into the SelectBay on your laptop and it's got the light grey facia plastic. That's the Citizen W1D in there usually and the belts have failed on just about 100% of the drives now, you need to fit a new belt to use that drive. …

I will try out some drivers from this site: http://www.autourdupc.com/index.php?sPage=/Ma … M/CDROM_IDE.htm And will return to update the discussion, as I'm sure there must be other frustrated 460cdt owners out there who want this mystery figured out.

Can anyone confirm that this drive will work under Dos? I have tried the 'toscdrom.sys' driver from this link, but MSCDEX will not load it, which makes me wonder if it's a corrupt/broken file. https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=94887&p=1253885&hilit=460cdt%20driver#p1253885 The CD-ROM …

The same drive in 440CDT doesn't require anything specific, just bog standard setup as in for example win98 boot floppy (with oakcdrom.sys I guess?). I remember it working with standard freedos setup too. I doubt you need a special driver. Unfortunately for me, it doesn't look to be the case. …

The fact is that one DA15 pc gameport connector has only 8 inputs, four analog, and four digital. Yes that is accurate in terms of describing the science behind the gameport, though such a statement doesn't translate well to the noobs/laymen/console retro gamers coming into the Dos scene who might …

Just because left and right, up and down are implemented as buttons. doesn't mean nor imply that they are read as buttons. Play street fighter 2 turbo or megaman X with a 6button pad and say that again for the 5th and 6th buttons. Given the analog nature of the X & Y axis inputs, a nice amount of …

Of course it doesn't handle more than 4 "fire buttons"... Look, if you get a 1991 Gravis gamepad and open it up, what do you see underneath the directional pad? 4 digital switches, exactly like the switches underneath the 4 face buttons, so you will call this trickery of the 1st and 2nd axis in the …

What is the difference between using two dedicated ports versus a Y cable? How can try joysticks work off of the same port? Most games used a Y splitter if it supported 2 joysticks. Instead of trying to track down a Y splitter, try looking for the Quickshot J-link, it functions as a 2p Y-splitter, …

On later gamepads such as the 6button ones designed for ssf2 and megaman X, those 4 axis analogue inputs are translated to digital keys so buttons 5-8 are compatible with any game that supports a second joystick connected via splitter. In short, analogue inputs don't have to be analogue, they can be …

I'm certain that Gadget (1993) used QuickTime for both win16/mac editions. Alice: interactive museum may of been another early adopter of Cinepak/QuickTime.
