RE: Can Windows 98SE run on an Intel I7 with SATA hard drives?

I managed to run Win98 SE (the Second Edition is important!) on a Core Duo E6700 2.6 GHz with SATA. But it was a very hard job to get it going. The motherboard still had a legacy PCI slot on it which was helpful. Here is the procedure I had to go through. You'll need a Win95 or 98 "DOS" boot disc

Win98SE Update/Patches WAS: Can Windows 98SE run on an Intel I7 with SATA hard drives?

While on this topic what are you guys using to patch up your new/reinstalls of Win98SE? For Win2K there is Unofficial SP5.2 and WinXP has Unofficial SP4. I have found a number of unofficial SPs for Win98SE, namely AutoPatcher 2007 w/ the 2008 Update and SP2 v3.52, but I am not sure which is the

PDP-11/03, LSI-11 KEV11-C CIS option

Does anyone have a PDP-11/03 or LSI-11 with the KEV11-C CIS (Commercial Instruction Set) option? It may have also been known as DIS (Dibol Instruction Set). It apparently consists of two microcode ROM chips (MICROMs), 23-004B5 and 23-005B5. Last month I posted here about building a circuit to

Re: Can Windows 98SE run on an Intel I7 with SATA hard drives?

I managed to soak up extra memory when installing 98SE by using Japheth's HIMEMX driver, coupled with XMSDISK: In AUTOEXEC.BAT: SET TEMPDRIVE=S SET TEMPSIZE=768000 C:\XMS\XMSDISK\XMSDSK %TEMPDRIVE%: %TEMPSIZE% /y /t Gives you a 768MB RAMdrive as drive letter S: The drive is loaded in the

Re: Can Windows 98SE run on an Intel I7 with SATA hard drives?

I am 0 for 3 in having IE 6.0 work on my Win98 machines. Just can't connect to the internet anymore when I do this. Connectivity returns when I downgrade to 5.5. But others do report having success with 6.0 on Win98, so I'm not sure what's wrong with me... I'll try Opera, thanks for the tip.

Wow...that fired some old brain cells. I saved one of these around 86-87 and had it hooked to a VAX/BSD4 system for a while. All I really remember about it was that it was pretty well made but after wasting too much time mucking about I could never finesse a termcap entry for it that didn't have

Big-Board II & Micro Cornucopia User Group Disks?

I'm a retired software engineer. My first home computer was a Z80 CP/M system built on the Big-Board II back in the mid '80s. I bought a bare board kit and went from there. It took me several months to collect all the parts before I had a running system. After discovering some very old M80

Any hope for CBM VIC-1525 Printers & ribbons?

Has anyone found a source for replacement ribbons, or even re-inking supplies, for the Commodore VIC-1525 printer? This printer was manufactured in Japan by Seikosha for CBM, and was also sold in the USA by Radio Shack, re-badged under the Tandy / TRS-80 brand. For reference - The VIC-1525

Re: Any hope for CBM VIC-1525 Printers & ribbons?

Oops, I forgot to mention.. it needs to be unexpectedly, to the point of absurdly cheap! ;-) Really though, these printers are mostly of "historic" interest, and not much more - the mechanism is slow and noisy, with print quality somewhere between 'poor' and 'acceptable'. I suspect that most
