why not put it on a cd? Just stick a generic cd-rom driver on there, and get the autoexec/config file on the bootdisk to load it.

[b][font=Arial][size=7] one problem i do not have a cd burner and have decided to make a boot disk that has himem.sys and emm386 that gets to the command promt to run dos games from a cd-rom. then you guys can make your own cd-roms with games on them

You don't need a CD-RW to create it and test it... but to go to details would take too much space and effort.
But indeed nice idea...  k: As for floppy, does any1 uses them anymore? :blink: |
