that was the selling point of the parallel cd, it was supposed to work on the xt. Then why do you mess with DOS 7.x, which won't ever run on an XT? If it is supposed to work on an XT, use DOS 5.0 or even 3.3. And check the readme of the software version you use. Maybe it's too new and only older …

MS Dos 7.x was never sold as a stand alone product. 7.0 came with win95 rtm and 7.1 came with win98 rtm.

I guess asking if I should try Windows ME instead is out of the question? I still remember all the problems everybody was having with that OS back then.... and since the majority of the games I play are later DOS games I don't want to use XP (I have so many games, that for proper midi sound I have …

Did you follow the instruction and put in the first Dos setup disk? What three files are you talking about? Disk images?

If you want P60/66 system just get it. I wouldn't bother worrying about what everyone else thinks about them. As useful as any other cpu from the mid 90s. A lot of us were still using 486s in the late '90s.

You're welcome. I can understand that. I've used various brands over the years and at least for me anyway there hasn't been one brand that suck out as real bad. Other members might have different experiences of course no dought. Type of storage can have an affect I'd imagine.
