Mitte der 90er eroberten die Telefonauskunft-CDs unsere Multimedia-PCs. Die erste "D-Info" aus dem Jahre 1995 lief noch ganz klassisch unter MS-DOS und Windows 3.1, wohingegen sich D-Info 99 erst unter Windows 9x und NT 4.0 so richtig wohlfühlte. Für den ein oder anderen aber vielleicht trotzdem eine interessante Zeitkapsel oder ein schönes Sammlerstück!

Viel Spaß! 😉

Dank geht raus an @Das_blaue_Pony für die freundliche Spende dieser CD-ROM!

A 29th year birthday retrospective on Windows NT 4.0.

For my retro hobby, NT 3.51 is my preferred version because of its Windows 3.1-like UI, but in 1999, 4.0 was the first version I encountered in the wild.

Windows NT 4.0: Released to Manufacturing July 31, 1996

It's the direct ancestor of Windows 10 and Windows 11.

#PetPeeve: I hate that "Music" is one of the standard home folders on desktop computers. I love music, but I want it to be "Audio" -- not all audio is music (plus "audio" pairs better with "video"). When was this default established, in #MacOS X 10.0, #WinNT, earlier? (I think NextStep or BeOS might have had a "Sounds" folder.) Now, seemingly every #desktop uses this default: #Windows, #Mac, #FreeDesktop environments (#GNOME, #KDE), are there any exceptions? Like the #DesktopMetaphor itself, we're stuck with it, even though it chafes.

UA: Але тепер маю проблему зі звуком самим, бо він глючний і заморожує систему поки звук не дограє. І ця проблема напевне є тільки з SoundBlaster 16 (sb16)

EN: But now I have an issue with sound itself because it's glitchy and it makes the system frozen till the end of audio playing. And only #SoundBlaster 16 ( #sb16 ) seems to have this issue

UA: Нарешті я вирішив проблему зі звуком для віртуалки з WinNT. Замість ключа -audio використайте насутпний ключ нижче (irq для зміни переривання і змініть pa на ваш звуковий драйвер).

EN: Finally I've fixed the problem with the sound for the #WinNT #VM. Instead of using -audio key use the next key below(irq for interrupt changing and instead of pa use your sound driver).

id=pa,driver=pa -device sb16,irq=7,audiodev=pa

UA: Я тут бавився з встановленням WindowsNT4 на QEMU і натрапив на цю біду. Тут хтось є, хто стикався зі схожою помилкою в новій версії QEMU? Я не пам'ятаю щоб раніше таке було

EN: I was playing around with installing #WindowsNT4 in #QEMU but I faced this issue. Is there anybody who has faced a similar error with newer version of QEMU? I don't remember there was anything like that
