I still play some old DOS games on my Windows 98 machine sometimes. I believe I have it restart in DOS mode (from a PIF file IIRC) and it uses the config.sys and autoexec.bat that I have setup. It's been a few years since I did this, so if I have time in the next few days, I'll post back with what I find.
EDIT: ok, this is what I found. I was using a PIF file (a shortcut pointing to COMMAND.COM). This is what I have for the configuration.
Cmd Line: c:\windows\command.com
Working: c:\windows
Advanced:
"MS-DOS mode" checked
"Warn before entering MS-DOS mode" checked
"Specify a new MS-DOS configuration" selected
Config.sys configuration:
DOS=HIGH,UMB
buffershigh=10
fcbshigh=4
fileshigh=30
lastdrivehigh=Z
stackshigh=9,256
Device=C:\WINDOWS\Himem.Sys
DeviceHigh=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.Exe RAM
rem Device=C:\CDROM\CDTECH.SYS /D:MSCD001 /UDMA2 /V
Autoexec.bat configuration:
rem @ECHO OFF
SET TMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
SET TEMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
SET PROMPT=$p$g
SET winbootdir=C:\WINDOWS
SET PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\PK
SET SB16SND=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 T6
rem LH C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /M:10
LH C:\MOUSE\CLOAKING
C:\MOUSE\MOUSE
The CD lines were remmed out to save on memory, so you will need to put them back in if using a CD-ROM in DOS mode. The mouse lines IIRC are for a DOS mouse driver or something like that, but you will need to have the programs on your computer.
Hope this helps!
