Thank you! It's greatly appreciated.

Folks, this thread is starting to degenerate fairly quickly. While it's a grey line having a thread complaining/talking somewhat negatively about another forum/site, naming specific mods is pushing the envelope. Please cease and desist from naming/shaming mods from other sites or we'll have to...

Hey folks!! Have you ever tried to run or install the Sound Blaster 16 Non-Plug-and-Pray drivers using something more modern, storage-wise? It's...it's a chore. The installer likes to just hard lock when you get to the install phase and it does a disk space check. Well, I got tired of this...

That's fair. I have a couple of the wiring harnesses, and for the -5v, I built several of the necroware VoltageBlasters (handed a few out to folks in the local community). It still consumes a slot but I usually pop it in one of those wOnDeRfUl PCI/ISA combo slots or an 8-bit ISA slot. It's good...

Always cool to see a "kit bash" PC build. I'm curious why you went the dekuNukem IBM PC PicoPSU Adapter vs. one of the ATX->AT wiring harness adapters. Was it mostly for aesthetics and/or having a spot for the 12v barrel jack?

Oh gods.... the BookPC! I recognized the board from my days assembling these things at a computer store turn of the millennium. You are indeed missing the ATX power on signal line and the +5vUSB line (purple) from your plug. Here's the power supply: Looking at the review site, there's a pic of...

Intro Hey folks! I'm not sure how many folks out there have had the same struggles with installing and using Open-Watcom as I have. It seemed like every other guide, walk-through, and Wiki kept leading me to a half broken, half-complete and unusable setup. I finally, figured out a working...

I can answer that. It stems from an issue that's occurred in a couple other communities, some non-retro computing, where things like a conflict of personalities can cause significant damage to a community or lead to loss of some very important/critical information that really doesn't exist...

Yes, I do agree that a decrease is in positions is sound. The additional positions can be staffed at a later date easily enough with the current policies.

I may be stepping on a landmine here but honestly, it merits asking the question/posing the option since literally no one else seems to have either thought of or remarked on another seemingly obvious option: Licensing. So I'll just ask directly. @bigmessowires, if I/any individual...

Apologies OP but only recently saw this. I'm assuming your account is an admin account. Can you link the KernelEX and instructions you're following? What are the specs of your machine? I have a couple Win2K machines I can follow the same instructions/steps to see what results I get. Off the...

So some (very long overdue) updates. I ended up with an AMD 486DX4-100Mhz chip from a different project system/board and a slightly better 486 board with VLB. Aside from some weird graphics issues in Inner Space (possible bad RAM on the Diamond VLB card) it's been running great! One happy...

Realized I forgot to update this thread. So I ended up getting a second card that was tested/confirmed working. Even after transplanting everything from my working card to the original, it was unresponsive. I couldn't find any damaged traces but considering even with good/known working keyboard...

Working rather well in Win95B with Internet Explorer 3.0 on a 486DX-2 66Mhz!!

Final Update: I ended up just getting a cheap USB 3.0 card with internal headers and plugging the Greaseweazle into it. Now it works just fine. Still don't understand what changed and why a USB 2.0 port doesn't work, but here we are. FWIW I'm using an AMD B650 chipset board.
