hello i trying to install on usb stick ms-dos 7.10 on new type of motherboard. i sucessfull install it 😎 by replacing the old himem.sys with the himemx.exe from freedos and with this parameter in config.sys
device=c:\dos71\himemx.exe /max=32000
i can install and the emm386.exe without errors 😎
for the games in order not to have flickering graphicks the nolfb.com did the trick, i also use the dosidle so my cpu dont be used 100% without a reason, so far so good.
now about the sound i have a sound blaster live ct 4830 that the driver says that initialize complete on port c000 and irq 11, but sbego give error that says is sb16 emulation enabled?? and the setup of the games report the sound blaster not responding on selected port. my autoexec.bat
SET MIDI=SYNTH:1 MAP:E MODE:0
SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 H5 P330 T6
SET CTSYN=C:\DOSDRV
C:\DOSDRV\SBEINIT.COM
