Re: Good caps for recapping sound cards

Posted on 2022-01-06, 05:01

Interesting question, I recapped my SB Pro 2 a few years ago, I got good electrolytic caps from DigiKey but not specifically designed for audio (maybe a few, I don't remember exactly). I didn't really care because sound FX and music didn't have good quality back then anyway (compression, etc), …

Re: Noise on pass-through of a Voodoo2 card

Posted on 2021-12-27, 19:10

I'm having the same problem with a Voodoo 1. I tried different video cards with it, but the problem persisted (Matrox, Diamond S3). I replaced the electrolytic caps but I don't think it improved. I don't have the original passthrough cable since I bought the card on Ebay. I'm using a very good …

Need Help! Diamond Speedstar Pro VLB - dim output

Posted on 2021-12-27, 05:03

Hello All, I have a Diamond Speedstar Pro VLB in my collection for several years that I bought on EBay. It never worked, I have no clue why I didn't returned it, but anyway, at some point I realized that it works, the problem is that the output was extremely dim, I had to turn the monitor brightness …

Usually you get problems with different DOS versions of the following files. Command.com MSCDEX.exe Himem.sys Etc. Exactly!... I just want to share my short lived experience with DOS 7.x. As per all the hype I have read in forums about DOS 7.x over the last few years, I decided to replace my DOS 6. …

Re: Which Linux distro(s) should I choose?

Posted on 2021-12-14, 04:15

I was a big fanboy of Ubuntu until they came up with the Material theme (or something like that) around the time Win 8 came around. I guess they copied the Win 8 idea and screwed the whole thing as Microsoft did. This is my assumption, I may be wrong. I basically forgot about linux for a while and …

Re: Trying to decide what video cards to use in my two DOS 6.22 / Win 3.11 builds: 66MHz and 133MHz

Thanks for the comments guys! I mostly agree with them. retardware, thanks for the chart, I've seen it before, it's a very good reference. jheronimus, I don't care much about being "period correct", I just want to make sure the video card's potential performance is not limited by the 486 cpu. My …

Re: Trying to decide what video cards to use in my two DOS 6.22 / Win 3.11 builds: 66MHz and 133MHz

Thanks max, that's the way I had them a while back, but I didn't want to bother with compatibility issues in older games, so I switched the Millennium with a Diamond Stealth 3D 2000 in the PC1. To be honest, I haven't noticed any issues in video quality in any of the Diamonds, I would have to …

Trying to decide what video cards to use in my two DOS 6.22 / Win 3.11 builds: 66MHz and 133MHz

Posted on 2021-11-03, 00:16

Hello all, During the last 3-4 years I bought a bunch of motherboards, video cards, sound cards, cases, you name it, with the idea of building a couple of DOS PCs, which I did, but now I'm not sure which video card would be more efficient on each build. Currently, these are my setups, keep in mind …

Re: DOS icing on the cake

Thank you Gmlb256 and chinny22. Yes, I feel the same way having a more correct version of DOS, for me, that's the idea, otherwise I wouldn't be building these computers. I'm happy with DOS 6.22 with all its pros and cons. For the convenience of more advanced DOS functionalities, I would use freeDOS …
