I was reminded of Dick Barton,you wouldn't remember him,you being just a lad. |

| 1117258 | 2010-07-10 06:03:00 | Oh and i just remembered The school "laptops" Basically a keyboard with a screen that ran of AA batteries. We found a History Essay from 1998 on one of them. There were 12. I think they were Casio, can't remember. all ran basic with a Massive CF flash port, Serial and Printer Ports | The Error Guy (14052) | ||

| 1117262 | 2010-07-10 21:42:00 | It's even got that original Soundblaster music too :cool: Oh, that triggered bad memories. Anybody else have nightmares regarding configuring old sound cards? It was like a lottery. Try one set of settings, then another, then another till you actually stumbled on sound. That and memory management were my early nightmares from home computer gaming... HIMEM, UMB, DOSHIGH (?? my own memory is letting me down there), EMM386. Yes, I'll admit, Windows has brought (some) improvements. |

Not as much fun as actually finding drivers for a device nearly 20 years old though. The IRQ settings were actually the easy part, because it is not a PnP ISA card, so you have to manually set the jumpers for IRQ\DMA etc - and then you know exactly what they are ;) Memory management was definitely fun, getting my ethernet card working in Windows 3.11 required a lot of work.... |

| 1117264 | 2010-07-11 06:07:00 | Ah, Tombraider Unfinished business. Almost everything caused it to crash untill I actually managed to get windows 95 to recognize a PCIMCA WiFi Card (dont know why but if i was connected to the net it worked) Had to force it to do weird stuff because it refused to run without IE6 and 95 does not support IE6. I used to run Viruses in Wine just to watch them exception xD, pretty funny watching modern Malicious software struggling to get going (only 128mb of RAM) then fail because they can't find the resources they want or are unable to communicate with windows properly | The Error Guy (14052) | ||
