There was a Computer Game in the 90's or Early 00's where you had to put the CD rom into the Computer. It was around the time of the Early Carmen San Diego and Zoombinis. It was a Reading/Literature Game where you were trying to solve a Classic Novel or Author. I remember it had Animals as the clue givers, not people. It was so fun and when I can't sleep at night I try and remember the name of it and I cannot. So I am hoping somewhere on the Reddit Universe remembers this game and the name!

Can you guys maybe help me locate the CD Drive as for I only have the Floppy Drive

It was promoted on some old Thomas Wooden Railway pamphlets, especially the 2000 one I used to have when I was five, which was my first ever exposure to JumpStart.

I really need a computer that looks like an old office computer that isn't over $100

Spotted this Compaq Presario CDS 524 running The Need for Speed at a retro gaming exhibition. Absolute 90s dream machine.

Hi,
I have a retro PC build based on a Gigabyte GA-6WMM7 rev 2.0 motherboard (Intel 810 chipset, Socket 370) running MS-DOS 6.22.

I’m having a strange ISA sound card initialization issue.

On a cold boot, the ISA sound card is not detected / initialized properly at all. DOS games and diagnostics can’t see it.

However, after a soft reboot (Ctrl + Alt + Del or reset), the card initializes correctly and then works perfectly every time until the machine is fully powered off again.

I already tried:

• different drivers
• different autoexec / configsys configs
• multiple BIOS PnP/resource settings
• 3 different ISA sound cards

The motherboard only has a single ISA slot. Has anyone seen similar behavior on late Socket 370 / Intel 810 boards with ISA sound cards?

Could this be some kind of ISA timing / PnP initialization problem on cold boot?
Any ideas or known fixes?

Hello, I'm wondering how much it is worth. It have intel 82810 and 255mb of ram. Model is Fujitsu Siemens scenic t. Btw I'm from Croatia

Luckily it had the HDD caddy/connector. After some tinkering, a CF adapter, cleaning, and wrestling with the BIOS & Windows 95 drivers, she’s alive! With sound, VGA, working very nicely.. Even the 29-year-old battery still holds a solid charge! 😎
