Ours were 8303 Thinkcentre M42 (i845G chipset) that were certified for a bunch of Operating Systems (much like the Thinkpad R42 laptops):
https://www.ibm.com/common/ssi/cgi-bin/ssialias?htmlfid=872/ENUSAG02-0406&infotype=AN&subtype=CA&appname=skmwww

SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS:

Operating System Software:  NetVista M42 systems are tested for
compatibility with the following operating systems.

           Windows XP Professional
           Windows XP Home Edition
           Windows 2000
           Windows NT 4.0
           Windows 98 Second Edition
           OS/2 Warp 4.0 and higher (select models)

The drivers section at IBM/Lenovo support website was an inextricable mess with unfriendly filenames, but you could try with drivers for these M42, depending on the PCI device ID.

Thanks. This machine has an SIS 661 chipset, I may do a bit more digging for drivers but for now it seems to be working well enough for my purposes.

My G40 laptop is also P4/XP era but (if memory serves) that was a breeze to install 98SE on, and it runs very well indeed (dual boot XP/98SE). I can't remember the details but google tells me it has an Intel 82852GM chipset, and it seems lenovo/IBM provided 98SE drivers... Just a shame that a laptop keyboard is less than optimal for Cubase, and that I can't put any PCI cards in it...

Modern Software / SunVox 1.3 Win32 - Old Commercial Version for Use or Spectacle>>>

« Last post by Project5er on August 16, 2022, 03:15:29 PM »

From 2008-9 Until version 1.4 or 1.5 SunVox was a commercial product...

Certainly cheap enough & if you like the digital sound of it you are good to go...I never liked the pattern editor or how WAVs & XIs sound coming in...So if you like real kinda instrument sounds probably not a good choice...

Anyways this attached version was retail at the time...for collector or use or spectacle.....

Cubase (1990s) / Re: Steinberg Cubase 2.8 (1996) the last "midi-only" version of cubase

« Last post by smilesdavis on August 15, 2022, 02:45:25 AM »

so basically PC parallel port dongles are HASP
Mac U.R.Disks are PACE

the cracker needs physical access to the pace floppies because the read errors are intentional

can we collect all cubase mac and pro tools mac and digidesign and digidesign development partner auth u.r. floppy images read with greazeweasle here in a single tjread once and for all so potential hackers can take a stab at them?

i will provide quite a few this week but it would be cool if someone with better timeline and pace auth floppy overview do an outline for us to fill
