Sorry. Didn't see your question re. config.sys and autoexec.bat. :) So, the problem is on the P200 machine right, running Windows 98? Are you trying to run the games from Windows or directly from DOS? I assume these are older DOS games only using conventional memory (up to 640kb). In the config.sys …

I picked up a couple new retro computers recently. One is a Pentium 200. It works well, better than my Pentium 166, though I havent gotten the 5.25 in floppy drive working yet, and I have an old 200mhz MMX CPU tp put in it as its faster than the current CPU, but the MMX cpu needs a fan and I dont …

I saw a video of a guy with a similar PC to mine, and installing the exact same sound card and he had no issues. I wonder why im having issues with sound in a lot of my games.... the struggle continues. I think it has to do with the bios. Things work better at this point but im still a ways off in …

Yes, it boots into windows 98, and I have to shut down to MS DOS prompt. I was able to get it to load soundblaster 16 emulation drivers when it boots to dos, but thats about it. No mouse support or cd rom support. So I want to run DOS games from the DOS prompt as some dont work properly running from …
