    Wooden model of hellcat

    Re. type of wood. I would suggest "Ramin". But check out these sites for wood characteristics:- www.woodbin.com/ref/wood/ www.dih-timber.dk/produkter/ :)

    Pop or Soda?

    I´m pretty sure about the origins of "coke", "soda" and "other", but where does "pop" come from? The sound of the cork leaving the bottle?

    weird problem with privateer

    :) Nice to have simple solutions :) Re. sound:- I have an onboard sound card/chip (esstech allegro1 ) and I DO have sound etc. in Privateer. The manufacturer said that they do not have a driver for dos, but I downloaded their SB driver for Win98 and played around with the settings in the...

    weird problem with privateer

    Problems with Privateer are "usually" related to sound card issues. These are easiest to solve by using a boot disk. Mainly because you sometimes have to experiment with the settings - DMA, IRQ, PORT - to get it right, and this can involve rebooting a number of times which is much faster in pure...

    Damn. 'Holographic' displays.

    Ein_7919 I´d agree on the mis-advertising. My guess is that they don´t consider energy as an additive in the "pollution/possibly dangerous/serious lawsuit shit" sense. But there has to be a REASON for that "black box" thingy. My "reasoning" was that it would be cheaper to "apply" a part of...

    joystick doesn't work in DOS

    You are now close to regaining your "God Status" in your kids´eyes :) THE_WUCKED wrote in one of his posts that he has the same sound card in one of his "rigs", so he´s the best bet to help you with the settings. I´ll be on the sideline :) I used to have "God Status", but then my son grew up...

    joystick doesn't work in DOS

    Yes it does. I actually made it on my "old" machine ( Win98 ) and use it on my new ( WinXP ) which has a FAT32 HDD. However, for him to go on, he´ll probably need a generic cdrom driver ( dos version ) in order to install his true cdrom driver ( which is probably on a cd! ) and to install his...

    Damn. 'Holographic' displays.

    Ein-7919 "Okay, so nothing is added to the air, yet the air gets 'modified'?" I seem to recall from high school physics/chemistry that you can apply energy to an atom and force some of the electrons up to a higher energy level. When the applied energy is removed, the electrons "fall back" to...

    joystick doesn't work in DOS

    If I understand you correctly ( :D ) you just copied my autoexec.bat and config.sys to a floppy and tried to boot from that. That will not work because the floppy won´t contain the system files :- MS-DOS.sys, IO.sys and COMMAND.com. Here´s what you do:- Take a new/clean/empty floppy disk Go...

    Damn. 'Holographic' displays.

    From the article:- "Although the Heliodisplay uses lasers, the images are not holographic." No real joy on the porn side either:- "The image is planar (2D), not volumetric (3D)." :)

    joystick doesn't work in DOS

    OK. I just dusted off my old machine - no big deal cause I need it to check out the LAN I´m setting up in my flat. Yuo didn´t miss anything re. compatibility. My mistake :o However you can do the following ( I just checked :D ) Right click on the games´exe file Click on "Properties" Click on...

    joystick doesn't work in DOS

    In your first post you said it was an "older" joystick. Does that mean it is not with a USB connection? (DOS doesn´t "do" USB) Otherwise I´m a bit stumped. Looking at your autoexec.bat and config.sys it appears that you are running DOS from within windows.( Due to there being no reference to a...

    joystick doesn't work in DOS

    Do you have SOUND in the DOS game? If you want to have sound in DOS you will have to load a device driver for your sound card. This can be done in both autoexec.bat and config.sys. In any case your autoexec.bat should have a line similar to this:- SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 T4 J200 If you...
