Resolving IRQ conflicts on ISA devices
Lol : )
How many simultaneous ISA devices are we talking here?
Are you also adept in SCSI-fu?
Still remember the sound blaster config?
220,5,1,5 or something similar. The overlap of me using DOS and having a soundblaster is quite narrow.
Nice! that sounds right.
Somewhat relatedly, I still have the MSDN Windows 2000 license key memorized.
Needless to say, I have not had to install Windows 2000 on anything for quite some time.
Cool, I had a Win98 one memorized for years but it's gone now.
And of course there's...
95 is easy, you can use all zeroes or all ones and it would pass the algorithm check and let you install. There was no online check requirement, unlike XP.
98 you could do 12345-12345-12345-12345-12345 or some similar variant as I recall, so I never bothered knowing an "actual" key for those.
XP and above could be trivially bypassed with software, so the whole thing was moot after that. Silly technology.
