Looking good so far. Adding "TRY" to the FDNET.BAT call in FDAUTO.BAT was all I needed to get networking going under 86Box with a PCnet-III. I'll have to actually install the packet driver for my 3c905 when I set it up on the real rig, but should work the same otherwise.

Had a pretty good stream yesterday! Thanks to @Moosader for dropping into the chat.
I got stuck near the end of the first hub because I couldn't figure out where the statue heads were supposed to go. Played a little more off-stream and found that they go in the walls in the center of the water […]

Strangely it seems like xterms are the ONLY thing that doesn't work right in 16-bit mode. Everything else is peachy keen.
And of course none of this matters a lick to the 3dfx cards. 😁

Hmm. Playing around with the new card in Slackware 7.1 and getting the same glitchy behavior with X that I was seeing with the old one, so it seems it's an X compatibility issue. The docs said something about 16- and 24-bit modes only working with certain S3 chips so I decided to give 8-bit mode […]
