MERCURY127

yesterday i can successfully boot my 98 from nvme! 0) (early) i convert my nvme gpt disk with installed win10 to mbr type, w/o data loss. unfortunatelly, i use already existed win10 recovery partition for new 98 copy - format as fat32 lba 545 mb at end of disk. it was wrong. 1) (yesterday) i move win10 ntfs part at disk end (cant delete it - there is value data), make new fat32 CHS part 500 mb at disk begin, format it and copy existed 98 folder from other disk. 2) at start i forget copy new build of SweetLow's driver, so use build w/o vsd, and after boot get many bsods "write error on disk C:" and garbage in file system. after SweetLow told about, i update driver, and get properly work 98 in protected mode. also verify booting in safe mode - here also all ok. now i will try grow this partition to 8 and then to 20 gb, for new tests.

i think, it is just stupid typo in code: they want "eat less cpu time if user is active", but get reversed.

yes, new build now prodice sounds on line out... garbled exactly as i make some tests with SoundCheck (req KernelEx), and sometimes get slightly stuttered, almost pure sound, but this result was very unstable.

1) downloaded latest version. 2) checked all five jacks on rear side. no sounds... for compare, i try mpxplay for DOS with default jack to play logon.wav — there was loud noises, slightly remember logon.wav... i think it will good option use some registry key for manual iteration of pins and volume control. i also have nvidia videocard with hda, connected to monitor with speakers. so i check playing this way soon...

Huanazhi X99-TF (C612 chipset) Intel Wellsburg PCH - High Definition Audio Controller [B1] PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_8D20&SUBSYS_72708086&REV_05 RealTek ALC887 HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0887&SUBSYS_10EC0887&REV_1003 hda.sys driver is loaded, no crashes, 9x system see audio device, try play, but no any sounds. on win10 with standart hdaudio.sys sounds ok.

https://web.archive.org/web/20150103162921/http://xchat.org/files/source/ look as there is some sources... why not try rewrite it with ipv6 support?

possible i already solved this "problem"... patch for Vtwinsck.vxd SIZE 179861 DATE 5.May.2004 CRC32 5c32ece0: 2741C: A9 01 00 00 00 -> 33 C0 83 C0 01 but i am not sure, that it was so simple... i cant check, is it work properly, or not. and anyway, it crack all winsock subsystem... my "9x" is 98IF, and too "updated" for this thing. so this is useless.

no, it is absolutly useeless and unusable thing... — it crack Kerio Firewall, — it crack all system network utilites (ping, ipconfig, winipcfg, ...) — it is constantly "expired".

What? Where i can download this miracle? I want see this!

here is latest LIMEM version... https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=1170414#p1170414

try standard HIMEM.SYS with /MACHINE:AT switch...

i use one only "boot manager" — PART, and only in minimal and stupid variant — one sector in MBR. this enough for select bw Win98, XP, 10 or Linux on same disk. 3-4 boot options per disk, switch to next disk, no PLOPS, no GRUBS, no CRABS, no PROBLEMS...

you mean DMA? yes, these exist ONE that driver for relative modern machines (as i think, begin at P2 era) — UDMA/XDMA/UIDE/UHDD/XIDE/XHDD.SYS series, which also is disk cache. http://optimizr.dyndns.org/dos/drivers.html also i remember some "accelerated" drivers for older hardware (MSDOS/Win31 era)... but they is not generic, and in general useless... ordinal SMARTDRV give better effect. last, all used me AHCI hardware and BIOS do HDD access fast enough to not use any other drivers or caches (use SMARTDRV, if you need speed-up random access for find files at all disk). and REMEMBER: SMARTDRV have BUG, affecting on PARTITIONS bigger than 128 GiB (128 *1024 *1024 *1024 bytes) sized!

for what? if you talk about CD/DVD drive — yes, there is VIDECDD.SYS for Legacy IDE (ie "true ISA IDE cntrls at ports below 400h"), UIDE/UDVD/XIDE/XDVD.SYS series for Native SATA mode (aka "non-legacy PCI IDE at ports above 400h"), and AHCI.SYS from Rloew, for AHCI mode.

or we have just buggy/bad code is IDE cntrl BIOS add-on or main bios.
