I still do! AND it’s connected and working (not compatible with any O/S though)Oh, but through the power of line-in it is actually compatible with everything :)
I see you lived the Sinclair ZX81 era too (yes, i still have mine, it worked when I tried 8 months ago)
Not to disappoint you or anything, but I started with an Amiga 500 and am really retro enthusiastic.
No offence taken
Dont let your dreams be dreams. Get out and buy yourself a CD drive or even a HiFi and show them streaming service who’s boss.
I see that’s Windows NT 3.1, but now I’m curious, did they have a Windows 3.11 version of the M$ CD Player app?
I loosely recall Win3.11 CD playback requiring DOS drivers and somewhat proprietary Windows software provided by the sound card manufacturer…
A driver and loading mscdex in dos yes, proprietary Windows software no, at least for a standard IDE/ATAPI cd rom drive. CD data would work as long as the dos driver was installed right, and for cd audio, Windows 3.1x has a driver that comes with it called “[MCI] CD Audio” that will need to be installed in Control Panel -> Drivers. :-)
