  1. Für den Fall, dass es jemand mal ausprobieren möchte, hab ich euch die deutschsprachige Windows 98 Update-CD soeben ins Internet-Archive hochgeladen. Natürlich inklusive ISO, Lizenzschlüssel und Scans. Viel Spaß damit!

  2. I just received this version of Windows 98. Yes, Windows 98, not Windows 98 Second Edition. The original! I used this CD-ROM to update my 86Box VM from Windows 95 and everything worked right out of the box without any issues with drivers or within its device manager. It even managed pretty high-res resolutions and full 24-bit color. 😜

  9. Hier noch ein sehr spezielles Sammlerstück aus dem Jahre 2000. Eine kleine, zerlegbare Mini CD mit der Testversion von WinZip 8.0. Kompatibel mit Windows 95/98/NT, sowie Windows 2000/XP. Solch ein Datenträger ist heutzutage wohl extrem selten.

    Viel Spaß damit!

  10. Outputting a Windows 98 machine to a modern HDMI display still feels weird to me. It feels almost illegal. Or unholy. #retroComputing #retroComputers #win98

  11. Hier gibt's noch 'ne deutsche Originalfassung der Windows 98 Boot-Diskette aus dem Jahr 1998. Inkl. IMG, KryoFlux und 300dpi Scan der Diskette.

  13. Windows halt wieder, mit seinen völlig überzogenen Systemanforderungen! Man kann's halt auch übertreiben... Nen 486er mit 16MB RAM? So viel Rechenleistung und RAM braucht doch kein Mensch! 😉

  14. Wer von euch hatte auch mindestens eine solche Diskette? 😎🤓 #throwback #win98 #floppydisk

  15. I have a Pentium 3 computer taking up space.

    Convince me: should I toss it? Should I keep it?

    Is it good enough to be a box? Is it better than running an emulator?

  16. thank dog for old forums

    Not sure how wise connecting #win98 to the internet is.

    All I want to do is play Z by the Bitmap Brothers

  17. I'm installing Windows 98 on a 32gb SSD. I had formatted the SSD to FAT32 in macOS's Disk Utility app. Windows 98 didn't like it. Loaded DOS 7 off the 98 setup CD, ran fdisk, and reformatted the drive in FAT32. Now Windows 98 install appears to be working. #retrocomputers #windows98 #win98

  18. In the '90s, I was inspired by the Lava music player. Its UI controls looked like red paint drops.

  20. The #palm serial2usb works great in #win98. For my mobile palmpix camera setup, I just needed a short sync cable. Well scissor and soldering...

  21. Finally done: sharing files between #win98 (in #qemu) and #opensuse via image-file.
    Now I am done creating a way to easily sync images from the #palmpix camera and #palm #pda like IIIx and m105...

    #linux truely rocks!

  22. My mobile photo shooting setup# #palm m105, palmpix camera, mobile sync palm cable and palm connect USB to serial

    With #win98 now on my laptop as virtual machine....mm perfect

  23. No post yesterday 😅 But I tidied up the place a bit. Pinned some icons and added the 'Network neighborhood' to feature blogs I follow.

    The funny thing is that back in the XP days I didn't have any icons on the desktop to keep it clean and memory-efficient. It's a bit strang to see the long list of post icons wiggling there like some long Nokia-snake's tail.

  24. Shot on a #Sony #Mavica #FD7. For those of you who feel VGA quality was quite good enough 😀

    I love that there was a brief period where it was feasible to store multiple (over 20!) photos on a single 1.44Mb disk, and that by having a camera directly save to them it actually made it super easy to get photos off of your camera.

    No dongles, docks, or custom cables. Just plonk the disk into your computer, done!
