  1. I kinda just tend to assume that everyone has a copy of VirtualBox, #pcem, and a multi-TB stash of ISOs from winworldpc.com on their NAS... but I'm occasionally reminded that this is not the case. If this is not you, but you need access to real #WindowsNT or #Windows95 or #Windows31 for an experiment or two, consider this a reminder that copy.sh/v86/ exists. #RetroComputing #VintageComputing

  2. Searching for tech specs like chipset and cpu for my childhood #386 so I can emulate it in #86box or #pcem.

    I remember it had 2MB RAM and upgraded to 3. Came with 3.5" floppy and 50MB HDD. #MSDOS 5.0 and Win3.1.

    Any information about the company P.C.U ("Personal Computer Upgrade") maybe helpful in this search.

    According to this document it seems to be a Taiwanese company: techrights.org/wp-content/uplo

  3. OK, after almost a whole day of trial and error, I finally managed to run PCem v17 and Windows 98 SE without issues in the windows device manager. It's still not perfect, but I am happy I got this far.

  4. Since my personal MS-DOS and Amiga collection is nearing its completion, I am going to start looking at 32-bit systems now, running Windows 9x/NT.

    As a very first step, I am checking out all kinds of Windows 98 SE setup discs and system configurations. Here's Windows 98 SE OEM incl. Plus! pack. Running on a virtual Pentium 233MHz system.

    I must say, this gives me much less of a retro vibe and it feels almost too modern, compared to Windows 3.1x or Workbench 3.x. But, yeah... there were so many great games!
