The DOS Machine Rebuild - Part 2

[@ohboiiPumba]

SPT is "sectors per track" by the way ;)

[@zoomosis]

7:55 The default was 1.2 MB because 5.25" drives were still the most common PC disk format in 1990.

Incidentally, the only SSD I've never seen Druaga1 use is a DOM (disc on module). They are usually used in CNC machines and last for years as they are designed mainly to work with DOS. A DOM would probably make this PC more ultimate.

[@raven4k998]

would it would it really hmm a sata ssd would work just as well

[@StevenSmyth]

@@raven4k998 A DOM plugs directly into the motherboards IDE port. The thing about SATA to IDE converters is they don’t increase the speed of the IDE bus. If your bus is 33 MBs the SSD will bury that; in other words you’ll get max I/O speeds all the time but only as fast as the bus will allow. DOMS also come in more reasonable sizes, two to four GB. Since DOS only supports FAT16 with a 2 GB upper limit, you won’t have as much wasted space. Besides, they’re period appropriate.

OOOh! You should throw a Pentium Overdrive, it's like a stopgap between the 486 socket and the newer Pentium CPUs!!

Minimum system requirements for Windows 3.1: 100% IBM compatible computer. 80386 or higher processor aka a “386” system. 2MB or better RAM. 8MB Hard disk drive space. 3.5 inch or 5.25 inch floppy disc drive. VGA video. Keyboard and Mouse. DOS 3.1 or higher. If it were me (and it’s not) I’d add: 8-16 MB of RAM, if it can take it A Backpack external CD-ROM drive. LGR did a video on one several months back. They are easy to come by on eBay. A VESA video card. Some games pre-Pentium require it.

[@Nanospark0]

Steven Smyth Windows 3.1 will run on a 286 with 1MB of RAM...you just won't have the 386 Enhanced Mode options like Virtual Memory. My first Windows 3.1 machine was a CompuAdd 212 with the following specs: AMD 286 @ 12 MHz 1MB 30-pin SIMM (4 x 256KB) Seagate 40MB IDE hard drive dual 1.44MB Floppy Drives CGA Video Card with Composite Video output (which had to run in monochrome mode due to the lack of CGA support by Windows) I later added a no-name Sound Blaster 8-bit compatible sound card. For what it was the system worked pretty good.

[@jedixo]

druaga is using windows for workgroups 3.11 which will not run on a 286 as it dropped standard mode support

[@StevenSmyth]

Understood. He kept saying that he was leery of it running in 3 MB of RAM. The specs I gave are for 3.1, 3.11 can run in 3MB of RAM. Thanks for the clarification. I used to run Windows 3.1 on a 386SX 16 with 2MB and it ran slowly, but it ran.

[@marccaselle8108]

My friend called it windows 3.11 dinosaur lol

[@jussapitka6041]

Did you know the menu where you chose standard cmos setup there is an option for hard drive auto detect

[@rdxdt]

I cringed at 9:00 because he didn't even attempted to set up the disk parameters on the bios, lol, thankfully he did it short after.

[@Nanospark0]

You could have avoided the whole .ini editing stuff for the video card by running SETUP from the WIN311 directory and choosing the video card from there.

[@DyoKasparov]

shh

[@onlycasualpotato]

Cool video to watch, Thanks for all of these videos Druaga! Love u :3.

[@stebs01]

Where do you get all your parts from? Do you just get them off ebay?

[@The1RandomFool]

Good lord those BIOS colors...

[@marccaselle8108]

Good old ugly cga. My eyes! They burn!

[@Snowwie88]

Druaga: Just a serious question about your video making process: Like this video, do you comment 'on the fly' or do you actually script and/or comment to your video later?

[@darkspongebob11]

18:00 you could have just typed winsetup or setup from the windows folder in dos then select no video card or standard to reset to default you didnt need to manually edit it

[@Ertain1]

Dat dithered Fairy Queen at 24:08. What a sight to behold. :-O

[@fabianaguilar3537]

How much do you get paid for the Allstate product placement?

[@caharkness]

Hey, I was going through some old projects and found a floppy disk image I made that fits a light version of Windows 3.11 and the Turbo Pascal compiler. Do you have a Discord server? I'd love to send it to you!

[@JoshSonic]

You should do something with that old Pentium II Dell that you put the Quantum Bigfoot in. Maybe use that for the Ultimate DOS Machine? It's older than the PIII you were using before. Or get yourself a nice Socket 7 board with a Pentium 1/MMX, those are really good for DOS.

[@Sauceboss421]

Congratulations on 80K!

[@eightmegsandconstantlyswap8862]

You might want to see if your motherboard will support a Pentium OverDrive which will fit that socket.

[@jonathanianthompson]

Great thing to wake up to

[@DyoKasparov]

and to fall asleep too ;p in a good way

[@dimitrismantratzis]

You could try the HDD Auto Detect option in BIOS.

[@enzito_sdf6978]

i think a cd drive should work with that controller, maybe if it doesn't fit a parallel external one like others suggested might work. never tried how those work with fmv tho.

[@Just_A_Toaster852]

I think it's about time to reinstall dos so that the hard disk might be bootable again

[@DxDeksor]

If you have vlb slots : get a vlb card with 1MB to get 1024*768 resolution and more speed, get some more ram and get a 486DX2-66MHz (or a DX4 100mhz overdrive if you manage to find one), that should speed it up !

[@justy1369]

New video, with Bonus content!

[@colinstu]

don't some audio cards have an IDE port on them? could use that to plug in CD ROM drive.

[@moth.monster]

Yeah, a lot of sound cards have various CD-ROM interfaces.

[@Tomasu82]

Surprised you didnt try more ram. Didnt have any or it couldnt take more?

[@nate5862]

i will never cease to relate to druaga1

[@MRSTU1210]

[@nicholashoi3155]

Hey Duraga can you do another video with ComputerClan

[@lewisfilby2394]

what was on board? i think there was so many slots because there was hardly anything on board. like you have to fill slots just to make it usable

[@DxDeksor]

That's just how it used to be

[@foureye7058]

Holy balls. That board has a controller which can coordinate that many 16x ISA slots? (I know several devices may be running at 8x, but 7 slots still seems excessive to me)

[@StevenSmyth]

MonsterWithConscience Not 16x 16 bit. It’s the data width of the bus, not the speed. It refers to how much RAM can be addressed by the card in the slot.

[@foureye7058]

I'm aware. I thought it was only possible for at most 5 devices to use a 16x IRQ. I should clarify, I learned the simple stuff in the mid 2000's when ISA was already halfway out the door. My use of distorted nomenclature being the side-effect.

[@StevenSmyth]

No worries.

[@jonmahashintina]

im confused to what the point of this was? it wont play any games, it seems. hardly the 'ultimate' dos machine.

[@damonmcclellan7896]

I will never understand why druga just does not do fresh installs it would save him so much time

[@MRSTU1210]

The 486 motherboard is so old you probably need to manually enter the hard drive information.

The Dectalk part 2

[@GBlastMan]

Its already maxxed out on megs? because that could be the first thing to do to "expand" it more, maybe adding like 8 megs? or 16? the video its fine but yeah, it doesnt look like DVD quality not even CD, now i know its kinda stupid to expect DVD quality in a old dectalk motherboard but hey at least there has to be a way to make it "watchable" But its ok, at least now boots up and its working OK and with no SD Card thing going on, the only other thing aside the drive arragment its the boot floppy drive thing but like i said at least works and boots up fine, so that's neat!
