Are you saying in DR-DOS if you move the mouse it will stop the timedemo? If so, sorry, we don't support DR-DOS or even Virtual Machines. Only real hardware up until about the late-P3 era we are interested in bug reports.

Socket 370 with BX440 Motherboards?

I have an Asus P3B-F but I am looking to swap to something else. Are there any native socket 370 boards (ideally supporting P3-S and ECC) that have a BX440 chipset. I'd like to have AGP, but if that's not possible I can compromise. Mainly want to be able to use my Synergy ViperMax/GUS Extreme and V5 …

Q2DOS is mostly me and Sezero. Neozeed worked on initial porting efforts with me and once we got it into a playable state Sezero joined in. But, none of us are interested in supporting or developing a glide3x.dxe wrapper. You will have to contact a glide wrapper author. Since DJGPP and glide3x are …

Glide2x.ovl is not a DJGPP compatible binary. This needs to stop. Every now and again someone who is clearly misinformed things this is some glide-related project. The glide3x (notice 3!) is compiled from the source. Those DXEs are the DJGPP compatible binaries that Mesa for DOS needs to talk to a …

That's what I thought for Win95 but I wasn't sure. But, maybe someone out there has successfully used some device with a driver on the OS.

Hello, I have a friend with a Windows 95 laptop and the FDD quit working. He wants to use a PCMCIA to USB adapter to transfer files, but I am not sure what devices were out there and if Windows 95 would support it. The closest thing I found doing a quick search was this: https://www.amazon.com/ …

I gave up on this board, got another P3B-F and that thing works fine. I was able to use that patched 1.3ghz with the P3B-F and have it running at 1.495ghz. Kicks so much ass in Q2DOS. Not sure what went wrong with the MSI board. I did the usual inspecting of the board for anything obviously broken …

Yeah, I tried booting the board with nothing plugged in. No CPU, RAM, etc. just to see if it would beep and it doesn't do that either. I also was sure to try this with it sitting on a cardboard box to make sure the standoffs weren't shorting the board. So I really can't say for certain unless maybe …

Well, he gave me a patched CPU i.e. it has the wiring mods done to it and a compatible slotket apparently with it's own VRM. He sent pictures of it working including in Windows with CPU-Z. So I have no reason to disbelieve the guy. Anyways, yes -5V requirement sounds odd, but he's claiming he's run …

Tried resetting CMOS, swapping battery, swapping CPUs (which also came with a tested one), RAM, etc. I noticed the CPU never gets …

Soltek SL-65FV+ terrible board for DOS gaming in case anyone is curious. Via 4-in-1 drivers needed in windows to fix terrible 3d performance. Might be OK for an Unreal, Quake 2, Quake 3 machine. Still on the look out for something else. Another P3B-F at this point is OK. If it works properly.

OK. I will remove the old battery and replace it with a CR2032 socket and battery. I'll find an ISA 16-bit VGA card as well and see if this thing works at all. In addition to trying to replace the tantalum caps at a later date on the Tseng Thanks for your help everyone. Keep in mind, that if the …

The SB Pro 2.0 had a matching CD-ROM drive that is a mechanical eject with a caddy. The drive appears to be no good or requires the SB Pro 2.0. If I plug it into another …
