Description
Here are my CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files, which I have been tweaking for the last few days in VirtualBox, and which I'm now posting on DA just for the hell of it. These tweaks have accomplished a few things: 1. I can use the mouse within TUI programs, 2. I can access the CD-ROM drive, 3. I can play games that require use of EMS, 4. MS-DOS Editor is now the newer version from Windows XP, which I like better than the DOS6 version.CONFIG.SYS:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\SETVER.EXE
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE ON 4096
DEVICE=C:\BIN\VIDE-CDD.SYS /D:MSCD001
DOS=HIGH
FILES=30
STACKS=9,256
AUTOEXEC.BAT:
C:\DOS\SMARTDRV.EXE /X
C:\DOS\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /L: D
@ ECHO OFF
PROMPT $p$g
SET SUPL=C:\CTMOUSE;C:\GAMES
PATH C:\WINDOWS;C:\BIN;C:\DOS;%SUPL%
SET TEMP=C:\DOS
LOADHIGH CTMOUSE
PAUSE
LOADHIGH WIN
