    Update: Succesfully installed usb 2.0 drivers, added a mass storage driver later and I can now open usb sticks, saves me the hassle of using infrared or cd-rw's if I need to transfer files.

    *Flips off infrared*

    Will finish installing display and soundblaster drivers, then Ethernet.

    The 3com ethernet driver wants secure32.dll but can't find it, any ideas where that could be ?


    I used a third party drive for the mass storage btw, I think at least, from the web.

    There are still some free dail-up internet services by the way, fun for irc and bulletin boards.

    Update: finished installing 3com drive, had to select the win98 folder in the CD

    the 3com diag fails to load the library however, so I will have to look into that.

    I am not even sure if the t21 has that network mini-pci card installed, but there are only two driver downloads available, one doesn't do much and the second one is the 3com.

    Not worried about that, just doin it to see if I can can to the net through ethernet . Should be interesting :)

    The only windows 98 pc we`ve had in the house used the phone line and AOL.

    Installed 98 and I get the following error message....

    Insufficient memory to initialize windows ( has 2 GB )

    Too much memory I guess, try less, 1Gb, 500MB

    I don't have any luck with the ethernet drives today, just installed display and audio drives, looks way better now ! the only 'problem' device left is the communication pci device.

    The t-21 should use a sb-16/pro as a sound card, thus supporting pure dos games, the driver from the driver website is a crystal fusion driver, so I will have to test it out of it supports dos games with sb16/pro

    Otherwise I could try dedicated sb16 drivers for either a dual boot dos or win98/95

    I have Win 98SE running in a VM, no physical machine for it any longer. I also have Win 95 and DOS 6.2 VMs. Both those Windows VMs have internet and network access.

    Even 500MB is probably too much for Win 98, try 64M.

    I am running win98 with around 385 mb of ram

    Doing a hd surface scan at the moment with scandisk, 3.4 hours :3

    I should also be doing a scan on my two much older laptop hardrives from 1993, perhaps tomorrow.

    They have internet probably because they are in a VM.
