i have another question..

my zoom in + out function in cubase sequencer on windows 3.11 behaves wayyy too fast..

is there anyway i can slow this down? by changing video drivers? or would i have to downgrade to a slower cpu to affect this?

i think its because my pIII 700mhz is too fast

 

would it help if i used a 66mhz cpu instead of a 100mhz cpu?

it says here that i can use any Pentium II Slot 1 Cpu with this motherboard aswell

http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-ABIT/BE6.html

would that make a difference in the zoom being managable instead of insanely fast?

 

or would i have to get a whole different cpu/mb/ram setup to get this to behave the way it is intended

Never used any of these myself, but they may solve your problem:  slowdown utilities!

IE5 stinks. Opera 3.60 is the browser to go to for 3.x

i think i can put a Pentium II 233mhz cpu into this board.. thats the lowest it will take i think.. 66mhz bus
 
i changed the video card and its a lot better, swapping out the ati RAGE 3d pro turbo AGP for an ATI mach64 pci (8mb?)
its working much better now but its still a bit 2 fast to manage + be usable when im editing midi parts in cubase i have to zoom in + out a lot
 
also, my mach64 has a problem, its graphics are showing up just fine but it's yellow tinged - as if one of the vga pins isn't making proper contact...
maybe it just needs to be cleaned? have u guys any solution for fixing this yellow tinged vga graphics?? it's as though there is a bent pin on the vga connector but i've looked and there doesn't seem to be a problem physically, unless it's some type of dust or dirt that's preventing a proper connection?

 

i've attached a pic of the pci mach 64

i tried blasting inside the vga connector pinholes with some air from an air compressor but no luck

 

i found an ad featuring this card in this magazine

https://books.google.ca/books?id=kDgEAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA73&ots=AhoyAbEVPm&dq=first%20pci%20video%20card%20ever%20-express&pg=PA82#v=onepage&q=first%20pci%20video%20card%20ever%20-express&f=false

the card picture is identical to this one and it says it is an "ATI Graphics Pro Turbo" even though the chip on the label on the eeprom on the card says "mach64"

Have you installed Win32s?

http://rabbit.eng.miami.edu/info/win32s.html

http://web.mit.edu/cascon/microsoft/win32sfaq.htm

Files seem to be the same version, Info may/may not help. No clue if it will help.

What are you using for a Graphics driver? "Built into" Win3.11? if it has "embedded" drivers (can't remember)...

If the BIOS has an "Enable L1 cache" option, unchecking it will usually cripple performance!

I prefer the standalone Netscape 4.08. It's the final 16-bit version of the browser. I have it on my FTP and is only 8MB. Seems to crash less than IE 5.0.

is a pentium III 700mhz cpu too fast to properly run apps in windows 3.11?

 

what other factors would contribute to zooming in + out within the editors in cubase to be too incredibly fast to manage??

 

could it be a bad video driver / card combo?

im sure the cpu is cheap to downgrade my cpu in this 440bx board but if i dont have to do it its kind of a waste of time/money

 

but if im focused on trying to use software from the early/mid 90s

am i going to run into issues with my cpu causing programs to behave too quick with a 700mhz PIII cpu?

I have win 3.11 and i have this utility. Can someone tell me what to do with it. I have internet connection in ms-dos but i don't have in windows and i try to fix it. Does anyone can help me?

I'm not sure if it works that way. It has been a long time. I remember having problems getting connectivity through the Windows Command Prompt. I think instead, I used EnhancedDrDos/TaskManager and Desqview with a packet driver muxer.

I have used Dos TSR in Windows. But it is hit and miss. Some are a roll of the dice, every time you access them.

Try your packet driver with the MTCP programs. If that works, you have a start.

For Windows, it might be better to use programs that rely on winsock.

If you have Win3.11, then you can get Trumpet TCP/IP.

But if you have WfW3.11 you can use MS's TCP/IP stack. But you may need to find a NDIS driver for you network device; or a "Packet Driver" to "NDIS" shim. Trumpet also works with WfW3.11.

Perhaps with WfW3.11, Win32s, and MS's TCP/IP stack, you can use some 32bit Win9x command prompt networking tools. Although, if you can find them, there are plenty of Win16 command prompt networking tools.

I guess it depends on what your end goal is.

If you go the Desqview and Packet driver muxer route, you can run multiple Dos windows and even run "Standard Mode" Win3x inside a Desqview windows. Then maybe you can have Win3x use Trumpet. Even WfW3.11 can run in standard mode, if you know how to do it.

I setup the driver and i wonder if it use the dos networking or if i am going to install mtcp programms and unistall the dos networking

How much conventional memory do you have available?

C:\MEM

or

C:\MEM /C

i tried something else and i ended here

[awkduck]

The download should come with a SAMPLE.CFG file. Copy it and  rename it somewhere like "C:\MTCP.CFG".

Then add "set MTCPCFG=C:\MTCP.CFG" to "autoexec.bat", above/before anything related to your packet driver or the mTCP application you are running.

The SAMPLE.CFG, or whatever you renamed it to, has basic settings for you network and mTCP applications. You edit SAMPLE.CFG and provide the interrupt of you "packet driver". Your packet driver is at interrupt "0x9" (as shown above). So in SAMPLE.CFG you would find "packetinit 0x60" and change it to "packetinit 0x9", or maybe "packetinit 0x90". The DHCP settings appear at the bottom of the SAMPLE.CFG file. If it is blank, then when you run DHCP it will automatically put the setting in there. If you want a static network setup, then you can put your own setting in there. With a static setup, you do not have to run DHCP; because programs will use the settings you saved.

Remember, this is just to test that things are working. This way you know things do work.
