Thing is, dosbox is mainly for win XP machines, because xp is not based on dos. Win98 is.

To create a boot disk, go to 'control panel', then 'add/remove' programs'. There you can create a win98 boot disk. This disk will allow you to start the machine in dos.

Mickey is a mouse driver found at the Internet. It's free to download. Download it and place it, for easy access, in C: (that is, not in some folder) on your hard disk drive.

On the boot disk, there is a file named autoexec.bat. That and config.sys are the two files that allow you to taylor your dos. Anyway, you got to edit autoexec.bat (in windows or dos) and add the line (in this case) c:\mickey

Now autoexec.bat tells the machine to auto-execute (run when starting the computer) the file Mickey found at location c:


Moslo is a program that slows down your dos computer. It is easy to use. It is also free to download.

For sound, that depends on your sound card. But basically, the card's dos drivers (as opposed to windows drivers) have to be adressed to in the autoexec and config files.
