I actually would LOVE seeing the easiest way to set this up for both newer and older computers. I rehab a lot of retro PC and Mac machines and would love to have something that is easier for older versions of both Windows and Mac OS to connect to. I suck at networking and would love to have a streamlined solution. Will be keeping an eye out for more videos on this! Love your videos, dude! Keep up the neat work.

I just tested this in my Windows 95 VM and can confirm this does work

12:28 - For it to show in order on Windows 98, you would have to rename 1, 2, 3, etc to 01, 02, 03, etc (yes, with a 0 at the front, then it will be in order). Every number must be two digits like 11, 12, and 13 are two digits. Windows 98 expects every file name starting with numbers to have the same numbers of digits equally for it to be sorted in order.

Pretty mad and epic content for this video - love it based around your Windows 98 PC :) Great video as always.

You videos are getting really good. Thanks again for great content

Congratulations for that upgrade. iam happy for 4 you.

Congrats on the hardware backing from reputable businesses, MJD! My suggestion for a future video would be a refresh on how to set-up & run various OS platforms from a NAS-based VM.

Wow! Amazing video!

AWESOME VIDEO, Michael!

Good video. Also glad to see the $5 98 PC back. Regarding the 1.96tb limit, it somehow also registers that there's nothing on the drive itself, so my theory is that you can put as much storage on in (more than 1.96tb) and still have it read and copy files from a Windows 98 PC utill the real limit is reached. (also, the 1.96tb counter would start to decrease when there is really 1.96tb left, and would start to track how much of that 1.96tb has been taken).

@eDoc2020

3 жыл бұрын

Exactly. The only time you might run into an issue is if you try to copy over 2TB in one operation, then a disk space check could fail. But IIRC Win98 doesn't do a preliminary space check, it just copies as much as it can and only gives an error when writes start to fail.

Love your vids!

Your videos never fail to impress me.

12:31 if you rename your windows folders to 01 02 03 instead of 1 2 3, Windows 98 and other OS's will sort it correctly. Nice video btw! I'm thinking of getting an Asustor now, love the interface and ease of use you showed in this video.

I came here for the fun idea, staed and liked after you mentioned the Win 98 SP3. If you have a video explaining it would be great

Definitely do the virtual machines on the NAS!! That would be interesting to me.

12:30 and that's why I use 01, 02, etc till 10, 11, etc (and not 1, 2, etc) --> nice vid, first time I watched you. Got ASUSTOR as well so I sub'd lol. Greetings from Belgium

When using artwork for the old Windows flag make sure it’s the Windows 95 Wingdings font version because sizes of the red and blue squares at the tail of the flag different. Only the Windows 3.1 boot screen flag has tail squares the same size which looks weird when rotated sideways.

I have found that it's best to name files that start in order to 01, 02, etc. so they fall right in line other 2 digit numbers. Or 001, 002 for 3 digit numbers, etc. Works out a treat fot making it easier to organize and find them.

The absurdity of this video earned you my subscribe. 👌

RAID5 is 4 disks with striping at block level and distributed parity (fault tolerance 1 disk). so the logical volume will extend to up to three time the smallest drive. I actually expected to see SMB1 as default protocol for Windows 98, but nonetheless, this seems to be working well.

I would like to see more on this. It's all new to me not having one.

FYI: the required update provides the NTLMv2 protocol support for Windows 98. SAMBA can be configured in native Windows 9x mode, but it seems not implemented in the GUI.

I set up a NAS a few days ago but with 8 TB of Space, the drives were from Seagate too.

Yes, I'd love to see this NAS doing stuff besides just serving files. Sounds like it could be used as a desktop, in a pinch.

Really cool video and really cool hardware.

Yknow, i get its 23 years old now, but it still hurts when people say win98 is vintage.

Here’s a tutorial to fill 2tb use the terminal and type cat /dev/random > yourfilehere that’s how you do it

I actually had a network set up such that my Packard-Bell (running Windows 98) could see an 8TB external hard drive attached to my main computer and access it as if it were a normal network drive. There was basically no problem there.

I fought so much with getting 98, 95, Windows for Workgroups 3.11, etc. to read from network shares (particularly on a Debian VM that I set up), and I realized that instead of enabling anonymous access, I probably could have run smbpasswd and created user accounts to match my username. I'll have to try that next time I set everything up.

Good 'ol Win 98 file sorting. I believe you can get around that with using a double digit naming scheme, 01, 02.. and such. Then your 10 will fall in line.

earliest mjd video

this is gonna be interesting!

The other day, I actually found on the side of the road, a few laptops being thrown out. One that I fixed up is an HP Pavilion g7, seems to be from 2011. However, the oldest out of them all and also what seems to be in the best physical condition is actually an IBM Thinkpad G40 laptop with a Pentium 4 cpu. I looked up the model and this IBM laptop seems to be from January of 2004. I don't have the AC adapter which I have one on the way, but shortly, I should be able to test it and soon I'll do a video about it. Maybe this IBM laptop that I found may be old enough to support Windows 98.

there is a patch we used time ago in linux to map the net drives in our company, you have to edit the .smb file and put "@" on the top of the users names, that usually fix the problem with mapping net drives, youcan also use the netuse protocol on cmd, excuse me for my english..

im actually watching a mjd video within a year of it being released

Just to let you know, you can create dummy files of arbitrary sizes in windows simply by using the command "fsutil file createnew (filename) (length in bytes)" I've used this a couple times for cloud storage services that give free extra storage if you store so much data with them of a certain type that week. So I've uploaded an 8GB .jpeg to make them think I uploaded a ton of pictures. And since it's all dummy data, it compresses SUPER well so it only took about 10 seconds to upload the whole file to the cloud.

Mans finallyyyyy getting a NAS!

OMG, man that's a BIG come storage!! 😱😱😱

Love it!!!!!

I love your vids Micheal you are very smart

~12:00 windows sorting. What I do for this is zero pad my collections, but this is definately a pain for large collections (> 99 items), but it's always something to consider, so 98 can handle 01 and 10 correctly, but not 1 and 10. Ditto, ironically, with Google's drive fs interface (which is why I learned this and don't know why it does it that way, it might be a configuration item you can tweak in drive fs that I haven't found yet.)

Of course we want to see Unoffical Service Pack 3

When MJD Makes it BIG

you can map any shared storage with a script defining user name and password for nas logion , not matching windows user , this is standard for some time now for any network sharing . in if using older nas on win 10 not supporting sm2 you can add thru windows update under option installed updates

This is pretty dope, ngl

That's pretty cool! If the machine runs Linux, can it run third-party apps on the terminal? There is an Apple protocol called AFP, launched between 1988 and 1990, this protocol still exists today, it was removed in Big Sur (I think it now uses only SMB). And there is software for Linux used to create these AFP servers called Netatalk. I use it with a Raspberry Pi on a 1995 Mac (but it could be a 1988 Mac), on the same network as Windows 10. That would be an even more incredible way to expand the possibilities of connections. Thanks for the great content.
