| I've gotten my Athlon XP system that I'm using as my main computer to run Windows 3.11 for WorkGroups. So far it's been alright, I managed to remember about the open source VESA driver that exists, which works great to get me to 24 bit color on here. I don't have a solution for audio, as the motherboards chipset is AC'97 but I can't find a driver that works. The networking though, oh my god. Turns out the NDIS Driver for DOS that I can install via network configuration panel doesn't work as the MS TCP integration requires a period correct system, so I have to load the packet version of the driver and then winpkt.com so that I can use Trumpet Winsock to get networking on here. To top it off, I'm writing this from Opera 3 on said installation! |
