Re: Pc printers get worse and worse

Posted on 2022-07-01, 17:57

I've owned several inkjets over the course of my PC years. My first was the original HP Deskjet. Not the 500 or plus, just plain old Deskjet. Then, as now, I only used it for the occasional resume, invoice etc. This is a problem when it comes to inkjets which are meant for continuous use. Sporadic …

Re: Tell me what it's like to own a GUS

Posted on 2022-04-16, 11:02

I owned a GUS MAX when I had my 486DX 33. In a nutshell: If your game had GUS support it was awesome (very few titles I owned). If your game only had SB support GUS sucked (it's SB emulation was horrible). Mostly good for demos and trackers. After about 6 months I replaced it with an SB AWE64 ISA. …

Re: Hayes modem's CONNECT speed result?

ATW0 will get you the DCE connect speed which is measured in bits per second. If you purchased a Hayes 9600 baud modem that meant your theoretical top data transfer speed would be 9,600 bits per second. For some reason all DCE equipment (modems/routers) are always speed rated at bits/second yet …

Re: Hayes modem's CONNECT speed result?

If you're seeing 'CONNECT 57600' that's the connection speed between your modem and PC (Data Terminal Equipment). In order to display the actual connect speed of the modem and remote host you have to use some Hayes commands (ATW0) so it will display the DCE speed (Data Carrier Equipment). https:// …

Definitely recommend Basilisk 55 if you're using XP - it's the most compatible for modern websites and constantly updated. https://i.postimg.cc/3JCNzHSr/xp-1.png https://i.postimg.cc/sD8HFtv8/xp-2.png https://i.postimg.cc/bvPKMK5P/xp-3.png Since it's a Mozilla based it has its own internal SSL …

I don't know if this has been mentioned before but it appears as though links to images were lost for certain posts after the migration. Before migration (Courtesy web.archive.org): https://web.archive.org/web/20180104193105/http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=39012 https://i.postimg.cc/ …

Re: VGA games with only 16 colors

Posted on 2020-01-25, 11:46

My very first PC was a Commodore PC-40 AT (286-12MHz AT clone 1 MB Ram DOS 3.3). It had an on-board VGA with 256K RAM. VGA mode was 640x480x16 which was standard for all other PC clones of that era I compared it with (some had support for higher rez/colors but were higher-end 386 machines). Yes, it …

What OS are you running? Maybe we can recommend an alternate non-sse2 browser. I use Windows XP SP3 and Debian 8. I can't speak for Linux but for XP there is someone who maintains updated Mozilla binaries: http://rtfreesoft.blogspot.com/search/label/browser He maintains forks of Firefox, Pale Moon …

Thanks. Unfortunately trying to login twice does not work. Old versions of Firefox are required on this PC which is an Athlon XP that does not support SSE2. Also what did you think of my suggestion: I'd personally like to have two more color themes available: - black on white (useful in sunlight) - …

I HATE the secondary color for posts ("lighter purple" ?). It's unwatchable on on S10 since it's only shows dots - like WTF ? https://i.imgur.com/QxiA8SW.jpg ^That's how most posts with quotes look like now, on my Galaxy S10 using Opera browser (not logged in/default theme, "mobile" enabled). Why …
