I vaguely recall using a TSR long before Windows that was a simple ASCII time-slicer - when switching to another app the others went in to a wait - it wasn't a multi-tasking utility and was very small. I believe is was pre DESQview but looked very similar and wasn't one of these...

I am seeking a copy of (the original) Windows 10 preview edition of anyone has a copy they aren't using anymore. Regards, Mike

I set out to build a system that could run everything from DOS/Win3.x through modern Windows on the same (multi-boot) machine, with all of the feature of each OS working such as sound, networking, USB, etc., without having to change any components between boot up of each OS. I got far - much...

This is my latest weekend project in progress. I am expanding my collection with another custom addition; I want to build a bit of a unicorn hybrid vintage-modern system. I am not sure if it has ever been done before. When complete, the system ought to: Have the widest application support on...

I have a Truevision Targa2000 video capture board for a PCI bus and know that there are drivers for it for at least WinNT. I've been looking for the drivers and see that there is a copy on DriverGuide listing the zip file as targa2000v171.zip(7.7 MB), but I don't know how to directly download...

Anyone ever hear or have New World Operating Environment from Digital Video Arts, Ltd? Its not an OS, but a set of optional windows drivers for the ActionMedia II adapter. Would LOVE to find someone that has a copy. Obscure I know. Regards, Mike

Anyone know where I might find a Windows 3.1 driver for this video adapter? It uses a Chips and Technologies BIOS. Regards, Mike

Here is the latest addition to my collection. I wanted to have a fairly fast machine that still had an ISA slot to support audio under DOS and Windows 3.11, but also run Win95 and Win98 well, and run many apps (games and productivity apps) fast. I know there are faster Pentium systems that have...

Are there any concerns selling off builds loaded with abandonware? I've build a few nice systems but thinking of selling off one or two that have a fair amount of it installed.

I have a couple of Gateway GP7-500 towers PIII's. They all have 1 ISA slot, but one of them has built in audio on the motherboard while the other two don't. I've been able to add SB16 cards to the two that don't have on-board audio and have sound working in DOS/Win311, but I can't seem to get...

Seeking a copy of PCAnywhere 12.5 REMOTE or Host&Remote. It needs to be Version 12.5 to control PCANywhere hosts on older systems. Even though it has been discontinued several years ago it is hard to find (lots of copies of 12.5 host only are easily obtainable, but I need remote). Regards, Mike

I am working with a Gateway GP7-500 that has two USB ports. I've got it configured for triple boot (DOS/Win, Win95, and Win98). I know I've got the BIOS configured correctly as the USB ports are recognized by Win98SE. I've also gotten the port to be recognized under DOS. For Windows 95, I've...

I have an Intel 100B NIC in a 386 machine and boot up DOS with the DOS driver for the 100B plus mTCP and Trunpet Winsock. I get TCP/IP under DOS and with Trumpet on Win 3.11 I also get TCP/IP connectivity using the same driver. Just out of curiosity I tried adding Win 3.11 Network support...

I have an internal IDE Zip 100 drive I am trying to make work under DOS on a Gateway GP7-500. I can use the drive after I run the guest.exe app, which finds the drive and assigns it a drive letter, but guest.exe is a TSR and I installed the DOS support from the zip tools disk which adds the...

I'm working on a 40MHz PC AT clone (a DTK DATA 1000), and it has 640K conventional RAM and 16MB of extended. It has no shadow RAM. I was down to around 480K after installing a lot of apps in DOS, so I thought I'd give 386MAX R7.2 a whirl to see what it could do. It did pretty well, freeing up...

I have a DTK-100 40 MHz 486SLC AT-like clone. It currently has a 116MB Connor HDD. I'd like to replace it using an XT-IDE and boot from a 1GB CF card I have. Since the machine has a 1992 AMIBIOS, will I need to specify HDD parameters in the machine's BIOS for 1GB CF card if it is being driven...

I noticed that there is a stand-alone version of MS-DOS 7.1 on WinWorld (https://winworldpc.com/product/ms-dos/7x). I am interested in it because I have a PATH that is far too long for earlier versions even when using various tricks and this version, which I believe is usually...

Does anyone know if this PSU is put into a 5160, will it drop right in and be secured by the same screws etc, and, it looks like it has a lip on one site - will that lop conflict with Slot 8 or will slot 8 still be accessible/usable? Regards, Mike
