That moment when the post message is "Keyboard Not Detected. Press Any Key To Continue" :)
Y'know, I've never seen... a fake floppy drive. I'll take a dozen!
+alecjahn I also have that same mouse somewhere, except I stole the ball from it because it was the only one that seemed to fit my SNES Mouse. I guess mine is PS/2, though.
Scandisk that son.
DOS playing MP3 and FLAC files? I've never seen that before.
The real purpose of TURBO on the old x86 machines was essentially "backwards compatibility" to put it in I guess modern laymens terms. Most people have no clue what it is (Even my CIS Hardware college professor years ago couldn't explain it. But then again he was fucking useless). It technically makes the machine slower.
Some DOS games/programs designed for specific systems with specific clock speeds run at odd speeds on systems with different clock speeds, as in the game would run at 2x speed as opposed to a higher frame rate. I'm guessing that would be the purpose of the turbo button - changing clock speed so certain software actually works?
+TheRebel3000 Yeah, Wing Commander and Wolfenstien 3D are the most famous examples. Both play optimally on a 286/386.
486 is too fast for both. Unless there's a unofficial patch floating around.
i though it was lowering the CPU's clock speed or disabling cache
ATCRyderX© kinda like a Intel CPU cost twice as much as arm7 or AMD because you can dumb down i7 to old Pentium.
I may not be the last one to tell you this, but, starting with the 486 cpu, they all needed a heatsink w FAN, because the heat would kill them. Only early video cards that could tolerate a heatsink only. So all of you out there if you want to build an old school DOS PC with a 486 up, don't forget the heatsink w fan.
One thing I happy, some of these old PC are still in very good working condition. So please enjoy them and keep the Bios battery in good condition and that PC can go on and on.
I don't wanna be THAT guy, but a 486 66 MHz or less is fine without any kind of heatsink, let alone a fan. Obviously it's best for longevity to have them, but it's not strictly necessary.
To be fair, these early 60 and 66 MHz Pentium CPUs were known to have heat related issues, so a fan in the case probably would've been wise.
Dude, your videos are taking me down memory lane. I remember back in the day with these type cases, you had to set jumpers on the back of the panel for it to display whatever MHz you wanted or needed it to. When we would sell those cases, people really liked the display to light up! Thanks for the videos, keep up the good work!!
This video came up on my recommended again today. God these videos were amazing. I used to binge watch your videos all the time years ago
This machine has some SOMA-like feeling to me. An old almost dying hardware that somehow survived the end of the world. It is still somehow alive but will die in a couple of years but there will be no one there to witness its demise. Almost everyone is dead and the souls of not-dead-yet are going to leave the planet in a railgun shell.
Whatever you're talking about-perhaps you should just watch the whole video first.
13:58 STOP THROWING FLOPPY DISKS AT THE MACHINE!
Err, yeah... About that...
13:58 that's a lot of floppy disks
dusty dane The Ultimately DEAD DOS Machine
He broke the reset button too.
"And with special plugin you can even watch Blu-Ray discs"
.
Well shit, my computer even can't read Blu-Ray discs...
I know ;)
Love this old DOS machines !! Thanks for the video :D
Wicked Gamer & Collector
omg thank you for the update video!!!
i was a young boy of eight years when j saw the video from the ultimate ms-dos machine in 2007 :D
i can't believe that you now have this old pc after years.
in 2008 i found the case of this pc in austria in the dump, crazy thing what??
but i was young and silly and i threw it away!!! -.-
sorry for my bad english ^^
I am now scared😬
and a note for the whole ''et works'' thing
its cause if its a disk or something its running the files from there
Oh I miss DOS....when your computer was a computer
I feel sorry for the poor case :(
I have a floppy disc to SD card adaptor, I wonder if you could boot from it as if it were a CF to IDE drive since you used to be able to boot from floppy?
LOL @ "bluray" discs! nice machine btw...
omg total flashback seeing this packard bell thing on the screen i had a packard bell machien with the monitor that had speakers on the side i loved that machin pure dos.. oldschool WOW i totaly forgot about that computer
I have an old P1 MMX laptop and didn't even know the fan had died. Seems to be just fine.
windows 3.1 was the first windows i used when i was 5 ahah i remember my dad had a pool game and some kind of ninja turtle coloring book thing
can you make an image of the "dos magic" thing you used in one of your videos
Thank you very much for this great video.
You mentioned that this machine is intel 586 (which was earlier than pentium). As far as I know there was nothing called intel 586. After 486 intel switched to the pentium trade mark as their 586 class cpu. The other cpu manufacturers debuted 586.
Could you please elaborate on the system specifications of your machine? I am interested in knowing what cpu exactly is used in the machine.
how did you install the WFWG/dos setup, and what did you install it onto? I'm currently trying to create a boot drive with at least dos, and either Win98 or your setup. hopefully you can help! thanks in advance. its very different finding the answers i need online, as many articles regarding dos are upwards of 5 years old
its very difficult, not different. darn autocorrect
Minus the CD-Rom, that's the exact computer I had back in 1993, even the same case. I don't really miss that hunk of bolts. Mine was a 20 Mhz Intel 286 with an astonishing 1mb Ram. lol
does anyone know what case face is this? My first PC had exact same thing...
men this video was really helpful, now i can play music on ms dos :)
far cry 3 blood dragon fuck yeah :D
amo esa compu....y gracias a vos descubri cosas q ni sabia
lol what does the turbo button do spin the fan 1 rpm faster
so much speed
+Mr. C64 does it give you 0.000000000001 mhz extra speed lol
+Recycle Bin chills kid xD he told you what it's used for
I was being sarcastic
Recycle Bin np m8, sarcasm doesn't go very well when it's text
not always but sometimes
when I was a kid I had a computer with that faceplate, it was originally a 386. the point of the turbo button was actually
to slow down the clock speed for applications that were programmed to an older cpu
Or else they'll run at 2x speeds
Does the MHz indicator in the front panel actually work?
The Metallica logo on the side is so intense I can't even handle it.
ahh the good old days. get yourself a copy of spinrite to sort that hdd out. nice vid. ahhh memories. :-)
Have you considered getting an IDE -> CompactFlash Adapter and a CF Card?
I did something similar with an SD card in another video, so I might do the same thing with the UDM... That is if I ever put it back together again (it's in pieces currently)
what case did you use for this build
hey druaga try to install dos 6.22 and win 3.11 on an ssd or try to install an ssd into the ultimate dos machine
this is badass :D
I've had a computer with one of these cases, awesome memories i'm having now...
R.I.P Dos Machine
2007-2013
Minus the CD-ROM drive, that's pretty much exactly what my first PC looked like when I was 5
BTW it would be really nice if you could share that "Speed" application...
I have a K6-II motherboard that serves to run all my legacy applications- like yours, the turbo button doesn't do anything, but the connections are there... for compatibility I suppose?
Note that my board runs at 400 MHz CPU- I'm not certain, but I believe at such a high speed, the purpose of turbo for legacy compatibility died out.
Thanks for the update- great video!
What computer case you using?
Oh man I used to have the same AT case! Mine had a Super Socket 7 Motherboard in it though.
My life is complete. I can die happy now.
I laughed when I saw him take off the case because I haven't seen his other dos machine video
i beleave the hard drive failed due to ether from motherboard for it is damaged or overheating or worse the system could be damaged itself in the point where the harddisk comes in play. its best to try and replace the machine harddisk with a new one and move the files there instead of well... making a new one.
You forgot to mention that the Turbo button does not do what most people think (that being that the PC speeds up using it), but that the contrary is applicable in that the non-use of the Turbo button allows the CPU to be a lower clock in order to run older programmes. It is not meant to speed up the PC, but to return it to normal clock after using a programme that requires a lower clock.
Sorry to sound stupid as there is a song list in the description, but what song is it at 9:22?
I forgot to add that song to the list. It's CANYON.MID
ok, thanks :D
what case is this in
My first machine a 486DX had audiostation, ah memories.
Well, you COULD just buy an IDE to CF adapter off of eBay and use a 4GB CompactFlash "hard drive" like I did, that might be better than most platter HDDs.
song that starts around 10:24 ?
rip in piece dos machine....
But how do you have 2 3.5 floppy drives and a 5.25 floppy drive?
i think i need one of these
And five years later I’m watching this video
why does it say "Packard Bell" on the audiostation program?
Because it was part of the software bundle that came with the sound card that had a Packard Bell sticker on it.
oh yes the OPL3 synth! I actually got board with that in old 95
What is the music in 7:55?
CMOS batteries are replaceable, usually a CR2025 or CR2032 Energizer Coin Battery.
Rocky Lincourt At that time not all mobos used replaceable batteries, some had just fixed batteries.
My own Ultimate dos machine was actually a pentium I 166mhz (early one i guess since its branded i586, even before the name pentium was used.) 32mb ram, 500mb hard drive. cd and both floppies. Running on win 95 with win 3.1 accessible from the dos.drivers installed on all three operating system. The videocard was an ATi Rage 3D Pro with a creative soundblaster 16 pro soundcard.
What is the song called thats named POWE.MP3
I had a hp pavilion 5030 p/75 in mid 90s and it did not have cpu cooling either the hs was usually too hot too touch. I even maxed it up tp [/133 with no fan and it still ran ok
She's a beast
+Druaga1 the turbo button actually slows the clock speed in many different ways to be compatible with older software
Random videos not in many, just on one, it reduces main clock to a half.
That end actually made me a little sad. I love retro PCs. :'(
+HackerPlaysMC And me!
Can you install a SSD in this thing???
hmm maybe try n find a ATA to IDE adapter and install an SSD?
Dat BGC!!!!
Whats that song at 8:09? Can't seem to find a mention of it anywhere.
+Terminatar98 th-cam.com/video/flsrOkzTohQ/w-d-xo.html
Thanks. I tried to search Metal Mosh, and all it did was bring up pictures of mosh pits. :p
darude - sandstorm
+malgorzata zalewska dude -'-
+malgorzata zalewska > Fuck off to oblivion please.
im very tempted to mod one of those old 486/pentium era cases to fit a modern motherboard and psu. dont know how to keep the big power switch functional though, maybe put in in series with the reset button and use that button to actually turn on the pc. get a ibm model m keyboard and im golden
yo druaga, send me over that hard drive and ill try to recover whats still left of it if u want
dat balloonicorn tho!
whats the name of the song @ 6:22 the BLO.mp3
found it in the description its Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon Main Theme - Power Glove
R.I.P The ultimate hard disk :(
how did you get a packard mobo in your custom case????
With wire ties.
Druaga1 I have a packard bell pc with ms-dos 6.22, my aztech azt2320 doesn't work too well :(, but i want to replace it with a soundblaster 16 isa.
+Druaga1 what is the name of the case that is in the video
If you really want it to be modern, you should install Calmira XP, because it adds in the start menu like in windows 95 and up
My old Pentium 1 200Mhz ran on a passive cooler with no fan, granted it was much larger than the one you have there.
installed software list pleas
My grandpa used to have one of those. It had Windows 98 on it. It wouldn't run much or go on the internet. Not even with dialup.
Correct, when the Pentium's first arrived the Turbo button became obsolete, the only way to achieve 386 and/or 486 speeds in Pentium based CPU's is to disable the CPU caches from the BIOS, or use a program such as Mo Slow, though having a PC from each era is [while not ideal] is the best way.
Why the hell did you take a Packard Bell motherboard out of it's case and pop it into an AT case. lol
Pretty sure I turned on a Pentium 233 without a heat sink at all back in the day, only for a short time, but it survived.
It was called 'AudioRack' on my P100 laptop with 8MB of ram.
Haha It's been so long. I still have mine I have to redo a video on. I haven't fired it up since the last video I made. Mine had a dead CMOS battery and every time I used it I had to configure the hard drive on the BIOS. Might have to take it apart to see what the HDD specs were... don't remember after so long. I'll dig it out of storage and see if it still works after all these years.
whats the song at 7:58
Blu-ray discs on an classic os? 0:
rip in pieces
Whats the song at 10:21?
TailstheFox92 [Halen Martini] hi
Minecreft Is da bezt gaem Wow, you're being so helpful. 😒
what's song at 3:50
pissed myself laughing
Do you still have it?
aha so ms-dos is still there finally.
R.I.P.
i want the ultimate dos machine as it is with the fan in it
10:50 I want this MIDI. I tried searching everywhere for that one, but could not find the right one.
Yeah, me too.
What about a low level format ?
It's been 7 years and I'm still wondering how he got that Blu-ray to work in that CD-ROM drive...
Late but it was just a visual joke.
He just launched a program with the Tron video.
0:58 OH TURBO! OH Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Yieeeeuhheee!
