Mouse works fine. Got to get keyb to work and the soundblaster (which keeps giving this as an error: "PCI device detection failed") Changed the soundcard from an old ISA card to an old PCI one, but it still doesn't work. Guess I'll need to download the drivers for it.

Ultima 8, for example, needs 486DX 50MHZ to run playable fast. Better results with 486DX2 66Mhz or better...
486DX 66mhz k:
I have one of them
Too bad they're not able to run all the Win95/DOS games. You'll need a pentium for them. But all the classics are running better than best

I have a Pentium 1 166Mhz running DOS 6.2. I am using your bootdisk
and have copied the mouse driver into the own systems autoexec.bat.
What do I need to run Ultima 7 and 8 properly? any restrictions on graphic card etc.?

Today, I'm installing sysop on a 486DX2/80 we had laying around in pieces. Well, it works. 16 MB Ram, 1 MB graphics card, some soundcard (hope it works). HDD is a pain, as even tho its 4 GB, it has been through some serious abuse with plenty of badsectors.

at the moment i've "hijacked" an old p2-300 and turned it into a dos box. it's a little fast on some games, but it works great.
- 128 MB RAM
- BusLogic FlashPoint SCSI PCI driving 2 old 4GB HDDs that were lying around and a cd-rom drive.
- DR-DOS 7, the ultimate DOS (real multitasking, pretty nice tools, tcp/ip stack, netware 4 compatable server, gr8 for old network games if i were to ever host an old-skool lan party and best of all, FREE)
- Matrox g200 video board, nice as it has real hardware vesa 2 on-board...
