Have my own dedicated DOS-machine:

P166
Tseng Labs 4000 1MB
Voodoo 2 8Mb
Voodoo 2 4MB -->All SLI'ed together
128MBRam
1,1GB HD
DOS & Win95

Every DOS-game I have (200+) works perfectly.

My main-computer doesn't have what it takes to run ALL my DOS-games, so I don't use DOSBox very often, but I do believe that DOSBox is the way to keep DOS-games alive.

btw, I modified my msdos.sys so I get a nice menu which asks me what to do: DOS, Windows, Safe mode etc etc. The same menu you get when you hold F8 during boot-up.

IT IS!

Right now, I'm browsing Abandonia on my laptop and I have a game of Jagged Alliance running on the pc next to me.

It is nice to do work/homework/brose internet while on the other PC settler is running. (And you gain more knights )

Great combination.

I would like to have both. But DOS doesn't detect my soundcard. Yes I know, the soundcard was just released and DOS is about 10 years old :bleh:

Dosbox. Nothing more to say. Its just the first program I learned about, and it suits me fine, so thats what I use.

totally agree win98. dosbox is great, but a dedicated dos machine is the one and only way. maybe not the one and only, but still a veeerryyy good way.
