Having a higher screen resolution than 640×480 the default VGA driver of Windows 3.1/3.11 offers is also important and useful. Afterwards the section “ ” in the file C:WINDOWSSYSTEM.INI needs to be expanded: C:TOOLS>cd WQGHLTĭuring the next Windows boot the driver is initialized and loaded. The tool is started during the next boot: DOSidle installed successfully.įor installing the Windows pendant the driver WQGHLT.386 needs to be copied into the directory C:WINDOWSSYSTEM.

Some current products like VMware Workstation are still supporting ancient architectures. You can easily avoid the problem of gathering hardware bei using virtualization.

So – what can you use such an ancient system for today? Time to have a deeper look at the implementation! Virtualization So having a retro experience with realistic hardware also goes with appropriate costs. Passionate collectors that are willing to minimize their inventory know the market situation and demand higher prices than before. Things have changed a lot in 22 years of IT history – gathering supported hardware ( 386/486/586) is becoming more complicated and expensive.
