Windows Enhancements - Hardware

When Windows first came out, it needed help, from software add-ons and hardware add-ons. This program looks at some of the hardware products that helped make the early version of Windows work better. Demonstrations include the J-Mouse Keyboard, the Viewsonic 7 monitor, the Logitech TrackMan stationary mouse, Diamond's Stealth VRAM graphic acclerator and the SuperStar VLB card, WatchIt!TV, custom upgrades from Sigma Data, and the Weitek processor accelerator. Originally broadcast in 1992.

PC hardware was a lot more fun to shop for back in those days. It's all pretty boring now.

Audio sync was fine for me, using mpeg-2 and VLC player. I haven't tried anything else.
