    At 3:05 you mention the files needed for the VM to run are from "build 326", but I think that you meant "build 328". Just want to make you aware of a subtitle mistake. Salutations dès l'Espagne :)

    I'm interested to see if Windows 3.11 can run on this backwards compatibility layer
    Edit: It can, mostly any version of 3.1 will run. 3.1, 3.11, 3.11 for workgroups, it will all work
    Also notice that the actual latest build with the feature still available was Build 328, specified in BetaWiki.

  • @berndpfe
    @berndpfe Před rokem +1

    windows NT won't probably handle that.. because of its virtual DOS machine (as there is no longer a real dos 16bit platform running underneath, so everything requiring direct hardware access semantics on its own, and not via NT's HAL, will fail to do so (these dualmouse drivers e.g., since .DRV and .386 drivers are not using that since relying on legacy hw access strategies). And Windows NT has lots of 32Bit stuff already, except for maybe UI elements (like in these 3.5 versions, which still looks like Windows 3.1). Windows NT might also require to be installed on a FAT16 filesystem, not under NTFS of course.

    What pc and removable hard drive bay did you use?

      Hi! The first machine is an IBM PC 350 (Model 6587), Pentium P54CS @ 200MHz, 144MB of RAM, Voodoo Banshee 2, Yamaha Audician 32 sound card with a DreamBlaster X2 wavetable.
      The second computer is a custom build that ran, at the time of the video, with an Acorp 694XT1 motherboard saved from the recycle bin, a Pentium III 900/256/100, 512MB of RAM, a GeForce 2MX GPU, and a Creative Audigy 2 sound card.
      As I got some issue with it for the next video, I changed the motherboard for a Gigabyte ga-60mm7e and upgraded the cpu to a Pentium III 1000/256/133 (As it turns out, the motherboard was not the issue).
      The hard drive bays are generic "Super Rack" IDE sets that are quite common on the flea market here :)
