If we don't mind something bigger, some Vortex86 single board computers seems to have a PC/104+ connector (same as PC/104 / ISA but for PCI) where we can solder pins. I don't know if it's functional. If it is, then it's the same story again, like as making a PCI adapter to plug any existing PCI card …

At least it has a PCI bus, I don't know if it can be exposed to plug a Voodoo.

@Kayzar: I built my retro-PC with the exact SBC you linked, amazing board for this purpose: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=85026 I don't own a weeCee, but it seems able to do everything a weeCee can, I successfully tested Win98 SE and a lot of games (Duke3D 1024x768, Second Reality demo, …

Outside of that, I did hear back from rasteri concerning the addition of any 3D hardware -> the basic reality is that only the ISA bus (not PCI bus) is being exposed by the SOM... Could it be possible to use an external GPU, one of those USB graphics cards? I don't know the compatibility with old …

Just out of curiosity, can you confirm you have the same problems without Virtual 8086 mode (no EMM386), who may use some undetected memory mapped devices as RAM, which would cause any sort of troubles, including those that you have (I'm not sure, I guess the Win98 installer should be smart enough) …

Can you retry without EMM386 ? I wouldn't be surprised than it causes some of your troubles.

Just in case, are you using EMS / EMM386 / UMBs ? I have some weird behaviours sometimes when I use the high memory area.

What DOS version do you use when you manually install Win98 from the MicroSD folder ? I have a Vortex86DX board, with an SD/IDE adapter, so not exactly the same thing as the Weecee, but I installed MS-DOS 7.1 (from Win98 SE) before installing Win98.

Also tried it with https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CTK4TH4, same outcome. That's the first one I bought, and I can confirm it doesn't work for DOS text mode. I bought another one as indicated from this thread , which works (but rescale the text mode output to 640x400, all other modes/ …

Just in case, can you plug a VGA screen ? A lot of VGA-HDMI converters don't support the DOS text mode resolution (720x400 70 Hz)

@janih: I didn't know about the old Intel PC/104 boards. Your Celeron seems to be a Tualatin core, the last desktop P6, cool stuff! And if you can also expose the PCI ports, you could plug a Voodoo too :-). The 386 SBC seems to be the ancestor of all the Vortex86 things, and I like the possibility …

Hey all! This is inspired by the work of TheRasteri on the mini DOS PC and the weeCee projects (here is his topic if you happen to have missed it). Thanks a lot for making me discover a lot on the world of embedded industrial computers, I didn't know much about PC/104 and wasn't even aware of the …
