Hey all, I'm considering putting together a DOS machine on an older laptop for all of my games from yesteryear. I could use some help coming up with a config.sys file and an autoexec.bat. I'll need some generic sound stuffs and a mouse driver. Any suggestions of where i can look to find this stuff. It's been a while since I did all this on my own (Curse you Windows!!) Later

Well, start by telling US what kind of laptop it is, and then go to the website of whoever made it. I don't know specifically about my old IBM thinkpad 360xx series, but IBM, for example, used to have "original files" for these old machines posted in the support section.

Is there a soundcard in the machine which will run in raw dos? A google search (or similar search engine) for "dos mouse drivers" should get you those. *Example* startup files; Config.sys ============ [COMMON] SWITCHES=/F break=on dos=high,umb SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM C:\ /E:512 /p DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS /q device=c:\DOS\emm386.exe d=64 noems frame=none I=B000-B7FF FILEShigh=40 stackshigh=9,256 ;Sound drivers would come next, (example only) below...........
