Bruh this is the very first video I saw of yours and I enjoyed every minute of it. What you did here was basically my childhood, doing stupid stuff on my family's main and ONLY computer much to their annoyance lol. Not many of us had the power of VMs back in the late 90's & early 2000's. I've played around with almost all of these Operating Systems (except NextSTEP, Temple and KolibriOS). Your videos are well produced and documented. Good Job! Subscribed!

How many weeks did this take? While I was around at the time such computers were common, I mostly kept sticking to Windows(and some DOS to get older software to run), because I was only a teenager and getting one OS to behave was already a big pita. If anyone came to me talking about a project like this, I would've asked if they're a masochist. And I still believe so today.

That soundcard hardware emulator is the coolest thing I have ever seen! It makes me want to build an old PC again and go back in time to my youth. I don't understand why people pick the Matrox Millenium though? I was about 13 years old when I asked for one for Christmas, thinking it would make games play better (this is a couple years before the Voodoo card) and it did absolutely nothing.. I was so disappointed considering the price. I think it may have allowed me to run a REALLY high resolution in Windows. I had a pretty awesome CRT monitor and I pushed it up to 2800 x 1800. The text was so small it was barely legible - but that's the cool thing about CRT monitors, no native resolution. I've always loved using the tiniest font possible and highest resolutions. I have good eyes, even now. Other people hated it! I can't remember as it was so long ago.. I did eventually end up with SLI Voodoo 2 cards

BeOS I thought would suck harder than some of the others, some of the ealier linux distros couldn't even play midi files. I guess with time they figured out how to emulate over time. But yeah BeOS even had fullscreen doom! I thought next would be much better... Warps crazy I still here alot of older IT guys loved it back in the day.

Back around 2000 I used BeOS as my daily OS and nearly made my brother switch as well. It worked very well but only if it ran well on hardware it supported but that was a short list compared to Linux or Windows.

This reminds me how a few days ago, I decided to install windows 98 on dosbox, just so I could have a nostalgia trip over an instalation process of an OS that I haven't seen or used for over 20 years.... it was quite fun to be honest, but I confess that now I don't know what else to do with that Win 98 "machine"... I got the shareware version of Doom running on it tho...

I have a similar Pentium II based machine I love to mess with but this video brought up a weird nostalgia I'd mostly forgotten about. I'm 27 now but 11 years ago when I was a teenager I had a Samsung Galaxy tab 2. It was a decent tablet for the time and I loved it. I eventually learned how to unlock the bootloader and install a custom ROM on it to keep it updated after it stopped getting updated officially. I used to browse the xda forums and beta test custom ROMs for fun. It was always cool to see what tweaks people added or how they optimized newer versions of Android for it. Especially as it aged. This was back when mobile hardware was advancing extremely rapidly so it was outdated pretty quickly. This video reminded me of that same itch of installing something new on a device I loved. The video is really well done too! The time flew by because I was so invested in it.

When using BlueSCSI in the PC, take in count many hobbyist OSs wouldn't like it by the lack of overall SCSI support. And some obscure OSs like QNX may not install SCSI support by default. Remember also any OS which doesn't use the controller INT13H bios to access it would need extra drivers. It may be the case again with QNX, which I remember seeing its drivers in Adaptec driver floppies. SCSI support in the PC for non-DOS OSs isn't a granted, unlike with IDE/ATA basic support. As for KolibriOS... Is a shame it didn't managed to detect your mouse. Probably you have a resource conflict there the OS doesn't manage to overcome. And finally for TempleOS, actually you can pretty demo it with no C knowledge at all. But yeah, to do anything more substantial with it, you need at least some basic C knowledge indeed.
@GutBombTech3 күн бұрын
It wasn’t the C knowledge, it was the 64 bit requirement that kept me from using it. And as for qnx, scsi wasnt the problem, the installer booted just fine. I am not sure what it was, but one troubleshooting lead is that it’s trying to do some direct hardware stuff that the Bluescsi didn’t like.

I went on a Solaris admin course in London back in 1997. It turned out that my buddy (working for a different company) was also on the similar course at the same time in the same establishment. The main thing I remember was how many pubs we managed to visit in the evenings. All on expenses! lol Happy Christmas :)

Another great video! You’re killing it dude! Do you just enable individual drive images? I’m wondering if it’s possible to have an image that could be accessible across multiple of those installs.
@GutBombTech3 күн бұрын
For the most part I just use a single image at a time since back then almost every OS had its own file system and couldn’t read anything else. BeOS being able to read FAT32 was helpful since I couldn’t figure out flow to get any of the files faring stuff going there. I have a feeling BeOS R5 will work a lot better.
