1. The "5" key can not be pressed. But it pressed it selves from time to time. - annoying.  Have tried to clean the key without opening the machine.  Fixed by remapping "5" to "nothing" by using Ansi.sys  / nansi.sys (Freedos 1.2) and this in my autoexec.bat:

   • PROMPT $e[96;"5"p$e["5";0;79p$p$g

This remapps the "5" key to END, and the remapps " ' " to "5". So now when the 5 keys sticks it only sends an END og line command. This remapping only works in DOS.

• Have changed the CMOS battery. CR1220 - under a lid at the bottom. 

• After upgrading BIOS.The SAVE2DSK.BIN  hibernation file did no longer work. I fixed this by creating a partition that was slightly larger then i had RAM. In my case i reduced the size (Partition Magic 6.0) of my partition so that i had 175MB free. When i then started PHDISK /C /P it created a partition in the empty space and formated it. After this the RED warning at boot, was gone.

1. Considering a larger harddrive (CF, SD or IDE to MSata)

1. Considering a larger harddrive (CF, SD or IDE to MSata)

• Pentium MMX 300 MHz, 32MB RAM, 8GB CF - superfast

  • Norton SI report this machine at 1019 x relative to IBM PC

• MS-DOS 6.22 - 4DOS 4.02 - no Windows because is used Compact Flash as Harddrive.

• NeoMagic NM2160 MagicGraph 128XD - 2MB

  • 800x600

  • 320x200 scales to full screen

• One USB port - working from DOS with DOSUSB

• Yamaha OPL3-SAx - very good SB compatibility and real OPL3 chip

• CD-ROM and 1.44MB Floppy

• No fan noise

• Very good DOS Gaming PC, full-screen gaming and full Adlib/SB Pro support.

•  Have drivers to the Xircom - installed in both IBM Thinkpads

• NSTL Combo card is installed on IBM TP 600E

• Pentium II - 350 MHz,  384 MB RAM, 128 GB SSD (8+120 partition)

• Windows 98SE

• Sound Blaster Audigy 2 zs - SB0350. 

  • Because we are using this PCI card this is not a good machine for playing old games. The DOS compability is poor. And that is ok, this machine is buildt for Windows 9x gaming.

• Voodoo3 -2000 - 16MB  AGP

• 3,5" 1.44MB Floppy

• DVD and a a Sound Blaster Audigy breakout box/bay.

• Have replaced the Case back fan with a new and silent fan. PSU fan is still hearable.

• YouTube video

• Links: MPXPlay (Audio Player dos DOS) and Audigy12 - Patch for Audigy 2 cards using DOS drivers of Audigy 1  

• Note: The Audigy 2 zs WDM drivers for windows made the machine run slow and the Win9x games was unstable, and sound was laggy. But the DOS support was ok. With the VXD drivers windows games was much better, no lag, and Windows performed better. But no SB support in DOS. Uses DOS Drivers for Audigy 1 with patch to get support in Real DOS. - Works ok, but not perfect. Remember for Tick the MT32 box in SBEmixer.exe for Roland compatibility . Vogons.org has more. I am using the 8 MB Wavetable.

• Note 2: Sometime midi does not work in DOS. Then it helps to start Doom2 to initialise the sound card. Also in some games like Tyran2K digitized sound does not work. I guess that the Audigy is not 100% compatible with SB Pro/16. 

• Note 3: Another way to install Audigy drivers for better DOS compatability.

I miss the sound of the older hard drives.

I miss the sound of a dot matrix printer

I miss the sound of dial up.

I miss the sound of the modem handshake.

I miss the Turbo button.

I miss the sound of a floppy disk read/write.

I miss the days of the BBS.

I miss the ANSI graphics loading at 2400 baud.

I miss the excitement of opening a new game in a big box, only to have a few floppy disks or a CD in the box.

I miss the full page advertisements in magazines selling complete 386 or 486 systems for $1500+.

I miss drooling over the specs of the systems in those advertisements.

These are what I miss :(
