Look for Sound Cards and Modems for a 486 system
I am working on restoring an Old 486DX2100.
I need a Sound Card preferably an 8 bit or 16 bit Creative with a low Model Number that has an Install floppy with it. I also need to find a 28.8 Modem with an Install floppy. I have the system up and running with WFW 3.11 on it. But unlike W95 it is not easy to get some cards recognized. I don't have a Credit Card so can't use PayPal so E-Bay is closed to me a source. I am hoping someone has something in their Junk Box I've exhausted all the ones I have and can't find any that I can get recognized on the system I got an 8 bit USR on the system but the IRQ and address can't be set to match what the system looks for for a MODEM TIA Bob in Wisconsin |

The modem should be on COM3 and IRQ4, unless IRQ4 is in use by something else. If you've got a modem that can't use COM3/IRQ4, that is a very unusual modem. -Dave |

If it has 24M or better it would run 95 no problem. You can get a driver for most modems online free, so no need for a floppy in most cases. First place I'd look for isa cards would be freecycle. Failing that, try a wanted ad in the local paper. If it doesnt have 64M RAM, so get some, makes quite a difference on a dino. (More than 64M and you run into problems) 95 and 3.11... no comparison! You could even use it online (easily) with 95. NT |
