Dos Box

[Keikan]

I'm thinking of making a dos box to "relive the good ol days" and I gota few questions before making it

1. Do you have to install dos 6.22 on a hard drive? If you ask me I'd say no because I have tried only running the floppy and then swapping floppies to run programs

2. Do you need a processer to run dos 6.22?

You need a processor. :lol:

why would you need a separate computer just to run DOS? sounds like a waste of time. you can emulate it in Win2000/XP with DOSBox, VirtualPC, VMWare, etc.

You don't need a hard drive.

Win95 and Win98 boot disks are dos 7. If you follow the example of a Win98 boot disk you can create compressed libraries and unpack the contents into a ramdrive. It takes a little longer to start up while you load them, but that way you don't need to keep swapping disks for different progs. :lol:

Wow! That's way more than needed. You could run Windows 3.1 on that.

[vivitron 15]

probably even 3.11 if i remember right. to run DOS only, you could get away with a 386...my first pc was a 386 sx 25, which ran dos

ahh, what it was to run @ 25MHz :)

[Marius24]

thank god I wasn't using computers at 25MHz :lol:
