Let's do a factory restore on this Packard Bell Multimedia 601. It's a Pentium 233MMX system. I've got some things on the table to help us out with the process. Let's explore a bit. Time for a ๐งต

I booted into Windows for Workgroups to find and copy over some network drivers for the network card. All set up now!

Well, anyway, that was fun. I really like having System Credentials now. This machine is a great Win95 system, and the video is really sharp on it. I love this $10 PC, haha. Thanks for following along.

When it comes to sound and video, I'm a total novice and a newb. Yesterday when I did an audio clip from my Tandy 1000 SX, I had InterWave selected when in PicoMEM's Gravis UltraSound mode. Well, today things are sounding better! Also, I did a 3D print for my SparkFun LED!

Next up, I launched MOD Master XT and configured the Gravis UltraSound. And from there, we can play a tune! I'm no audio affectionado, but sounds good to me!!!

Well, anyway, that was fun! In this session, we were able to test HDD emulation, sound emulation, and network emulation. Those are just some capabilities of PicoMEM 2! I hope you enjoyed following along, thank you as always!
