MCbx (Utilities, old computers, hardware hacks)
Welcome to my web site. If you're here for software, proceed down this page. If you're looking for hardware hacks or modifications, choose it from menu. I'm still adding more stuff to Old computers section.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:
There may be some problems while running some programs in
really old operating systems, such as Windows 95 (these
won't run in 16-bit environments such as Win3.x, even with Win32s
libraries), but many of them will work well in Win98SE. All
programs were compiled and tested on WinXP machine. All programs
are freeware. I take no responsibility for these programs/results of them.
T64EMP works quite well in Win98.
Here, along with software, you'll find hardware hacks and modifications (mods) for old computers. These "tuning" tricks are tested by me and they're working. I'm describing my computer collection, you can read about computers and their technical quirks in "Old Computers" section.
WYMAGANIA MINIMALNE:
Programy mogą sprawiać trochę problemów przy bardzo starych
systemach, jak np. Win95, większość działa bez problemu w Win98SE.
Kompilowane na komputerze z XP Pro. Programy są freeware. Nie
ponosze odpowiedzialności za ewentualne konsekwencje z używania
tych narzędzi.
Znajdziesz tu również tzw. hardware hacks (mods), czyli modyfikacje starych komputerów w celu naprawy lub zmiany parametrów. Taki tuning wykonuję sam, i wtedy opisuję. Niesprawdzone nie są publikowane.
 TEMP - T64
Extraction / Manipulation ProgramVersion: 0.96 Utility to manipulate T64 files. There are some
front-ends for DOS programs related to C64, such as

| Small utilities PLAY This small program virtually presses PLAY key on multimedia keyboard, which is quite rare on typical notebook's multimedia keyboards. Needed when PLAY/PAUSE key only launches notebook vendor's application and can't be reconfigured to be functional in, for example, foobar2000.
TIP Loader This program allows to run TIP (diagnostics utility from www.grc.com) after 1st of January 2010. TIP has a timebomb which makes it unusable after 1.01.2010, and author won't release a version without it (according to my e-mails with GRC). This program must be placed in a directory with TIP.EXE, and TIP should be launched by running this small program. It works even in my 486 ProVeisa with Windows 95, so it will go on old computer with ZIP drive without any software or hardware modifications.
