AFAIK dir by default sorts alphabetically, first dirs then files. That it how I always remembered it from PC-DOS5 and afterwards.... it behaves OK in my other configs, only in the EMS one it does that...

I am wondering (since nowdays an eprom programmer is affordable and those pci cards cost peanuts) if it would be possible to upgrade the onboard bios chips with better ones... The Diamond cards I have here all have socketed eproms , and they also write their version , so tinkering is easy... Has …

yep, a 486 system with a 5x86/133 cpu , pci based mobo (a NOS Soyo SY-4SAW) ... I am about to try a pci voodoo3 2000 and 3000 card, sure they will go to waste but if they are nice 2D cards it is fine 😊

Sorry for the noobness in DOSBOX, but before I start editing gog.com's files, is there a prog to make such confs? I have 4-5 games that I like to make icons and auto-launch, but I am looking for a hopefully easier way to do it automatically 😊
