Does any one have an tutorial on properly configuring MS DOS 6.22 install?
On the German DOS i could chose how do i want to start the system:

1) With EMS
2) With out
3) For CAD - something

And when i chose the EMS function before starting the computer scanned for EMS and did a few other checks. Loaded Mouse drivers, CD ROM drivers, sound blaster and some other things. After which it did a root scan with McAfee 1996 and displayed active partitions and something else.

What is the most important to me is a functional EMS which i still dont know how to configure properly.
Can any one direct me to a tutorial on a proper memory extender and how to install it onto a fresh DOS 6.22/7.10 install?

Btw, I've backed up the hard drive into an ISO if any one needs some file or something.

[Edit]
Id also like to use both my GUS MAX 2.4 and SB16 in the PC, if some one would please tell me how to configure that as well. I installed both cards, but in monkey island it only plays on SB16. And when i set it to roland there is no sound at all.
