Welcome to VOGONS Wiki, a reference site covering vintage computer hardware used
for playing games that don't run correctly on modern computers.

Current goals:

 * Write about the details, advantages, disadvantages and quirks of useful old
   gaming hardware.
 * Write guides to help get old games running their best.
 * Populate the Device Library with as many devices as possible!

HARDWARE INFO

The Device Library is a new project designed to record as much information about
vintage PC hardware as possible. This includes high resolution photos, jumper
settings, drivers and utilities, as well as tips for using each device to its
fullest.

 * Audio
 * CPU
 * Codec
 * Ethernet
 * Floppy controller
 * Floppy drive
 * IDE controller

 * IO
 * LS-120 drive
 * Math coprocessors
 * Memory
 * Modem
 * Motherboard
 * Mouse

 * Optical drive
 * PCMCIA controller
 * SCSI controller
 * ST-506 controller
 * Video output
 * Zip drive




It uses Semantic Mediawiki to allow pages to be accessed like a database, so
that queries can be run to find devices with certain characteristics, or to
quickly compare a list of devices by displaying the desired characteristics in
table form (for example, the list of sound cards shows which cards use the
original Yamaha OPL FM synthesis method, and which cards use another
almost-compatible alternative instead.)

Contributions are encouraged, especially the addition of devices not already
present. The more devices are added, the better this resource will become!

There is already a good deal of useful hardware information on this wiki in
non-database form, and this will (hopefully) be progressively moved over to the
Device Library:

 * CPUs
 * Graphics Cards
 * Sound Cards & Modules
 * Motherboards & Chipsets
 * Input Devices
 * Monitors
 * Storage


GAME SETUP GUIDES

 * General DOS articles
 * General Windows articles
 * Specific DOS game guides
 * Specific Windows game guides


USER BENCHMARKS

 * Socket 7 benchmark results
