[Intro]
Installing Windows with 512 KB video memory
Yes, not 512 MegaBytes, but 512 KiloBytes of video memory. And we will install Windows with such a video adapter.
The 86Box emulator will help us with this. For those who don't know, this emulator emulates real computer hardware at real speeds. However, like PCem.
To start the installation, we need to set the video memory to 2 megabytes, since the text stage of the installation at 512 kilobytes simply does not start. The system simply turns off.
Intel Celeron 533 Mhz (Socket 370), 256 MB Ram, мат.плата Jetway 603TCF, S3 Trio 32 и 2 GB HDD It is on this that we will experiment. Well, let's get started.
We boot from the installation disk and setup the system in normal mode
I hasten to note that some moments were very much accelerated so as not to keep you waiting.
After we have passed the text stage of installation, we change the amount of video memory from 2 megabytes to 512 kilobytes
Save settings and start this machine
The screen literally doubled. All elements try to overlap.
There are even two cursors, which is funny. Only which one is the worker is a good question
Honestly, it even looks like some kind of quest :D
And this is what this system looks like when installed.
In general, draw your own conclusions :)
That's all I wanted to show you. Hope you found it interesting. See you!
