NE2000 network card test probably is also easier in Windows than in DOS. I don't think anyone has tested it yet.

With 800x600x256 Color Windows 3.11 driver no.

I think you need a extra driver (K5429-D2.ZIP). As I said, I will check this tomorrow.
Good night!

Ok Win95 now works well and is fast, I just have to understand how to save Resolution and Colors, probably you need to install the right driver? see screenshot

It is not detected because img is also commonly CD image.

Extension .ima it is also used by HardFile but the floppy with that same extension .ima is also recognized

Next Win98 installation self 80387 math coprocessor is present

Windows 3.x
cl-gd5429
I am not able to use the SVGA modes, like 800x600 256 colors.
Tried different external drivers.

@Toni
If you want, I can upload the installed Windows for Workgroups 3.11 in The Zone!

No need. I have it already installed, SVGA debugging later..

OK!

Tell me if you need anything for your own test.

AnnaWu · 15 August 2018, 17:58

WfW is a good way to make a NE2000 network card test.

If you need the NE1000/NE2000 ROM which PCem/86Box used, tell me.

Is it possible to request genuine Hercules and IBM CGA graphics card emulation? For pretty CGA scrolling text snow effect and ugly greyscale lo-res graphics to go along with awful sounding PC speaker that now works so nicely?

Also maybe 8-bit Xebec and DTC MFM HD controller emulation for XT? Should be a bit easier to setup and more authentic real HW emulation experience than current XTIDE solution. Will upload ROMs to The Zone.

I know it's kinda silly but...

EDIT: I don't know for certain if these cards worked in real life, but since they existed around the same time the XT Bridgeboards came out and were the most common standard add-on cards for real PCs I would imagine that C= would have tested them for compatibility.

I think you should have noticed that this does not really explain anything at all. Something running on something when doing something apparently does not work.

Try again.

Now with Xt Universal Ide detect secondary disk.....but all system are slow..when load a dos, floppy,...there is a pause...
When a try use a fdisk the system freeze.

With Xt Secondary i don't load a hdd. Screenshoot of problem.

Yes but it is not going to happen. PC only graphics cards are not worth the trouble (hooking gfx emulation so that something is actually visible is not simple), only reason for VGA is that CL chipset is also used in Amiga gfx boards.. You can always use plain PCem anyway.

(and supposedly cirrus logic emulation should support CGA, at least there are some CGA related comments)

It work better now but I guess something is wrong with blitter because some graphics elements are missing.

Also keyboard does not stop working in Windows 3.11 anymore after one key press.

Now also on Win95 the keyboard does not stop working

With the Cirrus Logic Video Card Win95 it works well and you can save any video resolution and color number.
