Houdini card troubles - installing DOS?
Posted by: wanderingjew on 2008-07-27 15:31:12 Well, I picked up a second monitor at a yardsale yesterday, and I figured, "I should break out the PC card to use with this!" I got it working, thank god, all the fade screens and stuff, but I can't install DOS or Win95. All I get when I put a disk in is the 'Non-System use disk' or something or other - whatever the BIOS says when it can't find the DOS system files. Any help here? I've downloaded DOS boot disks - 6.33 if I remember correctly - and torrented a copy of Windows 95 onto my iMac and using a USB disk drive to transfer them over to the Quadra.
Posted by: wanderingjew on 2008-07-27 20:47:36 I'm answering my own question here, but it appears I need DOS drivers for the houdini card. From some website: Apple's PC Setup software works with Houdini cards, PCI DOS cards and clones from Reply/Radius. It comprises three parts:* PC Setup Software for the Macintosh * PC Setup DOS Drivers (on a floppy disk officially labelled "PC Compatibility Card PC Software") *check spelling PC Setup Additional DOS and Windows Drivers (on floppy disk or CD-ROM) **officially labelled? So I guess I'm off to the apple archives to search for that.
