Ok people, i really need some help on this one. I have an old Toshiba Satellite T2130cs and i have formatted its harddrive. It's now time to start loading on the golden oldies and get them working, but I have some problems, with alot of games. If anyone could help on some of these i would highly appreciate it.

1. Many of the games i have run to fast on this 486 beast :P and so i need to find a way to limit the cpu cycles somehow. Just so people have an idea of the games causing problems, i'm talking about games like Speedball and Prehistorik.

2. Mouse support. as there is only dos on there now (and i'm not sure what version) i don't have mouse support. I need help to find drivers that'll suit this built in mouse and i need help on how to make them work.

3. EMS, e m what? It would appear the games like Blackthorne want a bit more EMS to run, but how do i increase this. I've been googling on this one and found that i can edit something in a driver called EMM386.EXE or something but am not sure what i'm doing. Can anyone give me a detailed explanation of what it is i'm looking at changing to increase my ems.

Also if anyone could direct me to a good dos text editor which will allow me to edit anykind of file such as configs i would be most appreciative.

Thanks, hope you guys can help!
