Hi I have just joined as I have an old ish Dell D600 laptop and have recently aquired a complete set of Dos 6.22 and Win 3.11 discs. (Oh and VB 3.0 discs)
What I want to do is to use it to run all my old DOS games on and possibly some windows bits I have not looked at in years. What does bother me is getting the sound card to work properly, I belive its a sigmatel AC97 of some description and the GFX to behave in windows at somthing close to usable colour and res. I'm not hopfull on the USB for joysticks though. Any advice (beyond 'don't be silly!') would be nice. I've also got a silly idea of running mostly from a ram disc setup on boot as I have 512MB on this one!
