Interesting toppic. My actual setup (P3-1400/R7000/ESS-SOLO1) can run lot's of old dosgames very well.
The P3-1400 is fast enough for playing some older titles with deactivated L1-Cache via batchfile.
I always used Qemm386 but now I switched to Himem/Emm386 and therefore I had to change from "cpucache.com off/on" to "setmul L1D L2D / L1E/L2E"
It seems that this combination is more stable and leads less reboots while starting different games.
Beside that, qemm386 refuses the switch "RAM" in this machine because the ems-frame is fragmented or different. Emm386 runs without any problems. (I included mda to get more upper memory)
I never used "doskey" so what have I missed?
Stacks=0,0 means no way to run "biomance" anymore.
I am not a fan of different configs with a menu, I always optimize for one configuration. Thats mostly an EMS config because lot's of games do work with that
and pic-viewer (qview103), sound-mod-players (glx) make use of EMS. Thought there are some glitches.
"Temu" does not work with EMM386 loaded, so Tandy-Sound via covox is only available with himem.
Mouse-Support in Win2x is broken, win1x and win3x works fine with ct-mouse and emm386.
Overall actually I prefer EMM386 over QEMM386. What I really liked on qemm was the fast reboot.
