Kasparov Gambit

[plattyaj]

The Dos Box site is back up. I just checked and Kasparov's Gambit is listed as supported:

Somewhere I have a copy of this too ... must see if it still works. Hmm, I remember the constant "Oh, that doesn't like right" comments I used to get, perhaps I won't dig it out after all

It looks like you fellas have given Fern what he needs, now if he wants the CD ver. he'll have to buy it at Amazon.

No sir...I do not have faith in those emulators and the much complex way as they must be mounted. I pass....

Do you have an old platform?

I have a pretty fast - dual 3 giga- and powerful desktop running XP pro.

I meant an old system and hardware with DOS on it like Win98se.

You could always buy a modern box and put an old system on it.

Well, yes, now I remember, I have in a drawer a very old notebook Compak Armada that runs W95. It has 98 Mb Ram, poor criature. Yes, I could load Kasparov there, I suppose. I will try.

Thanks for your warm care about this

I hope it works.

A good DOS emulator is DosBox (www.dosbox.com, although for some reason this morning the page does not load for me). They have versions for Linux, MacOSX and Windows among others. It has yet to fail me on running old dos apps.

Thanks Vlad, and Terry... I've got the DOSBOX thingy on my comp
now and played Kasparov Gambit last night. Boy have we come some
way since those days.
all the best

It's easy to understand DOS. There's a 640k limit, which can be overcome with either extended memory or expanded memory. These can be easily explained as follows:

* extended memory is extra memory that is... er... different from expanded memory

* expanded memory is extra memory that is... er... different from extended memory
