Hello,
probably it's might be interesting for some user to use original MS-DOS 6.22 with a Virtual Machine (like VMware or VirtualBox). (Yes, everything is legal, because MS offers itself)
So, here we go:
1) Download MS-DOS 6.22 ISO image here:
http://www.allbootdisks.com/download/iso.html
2) Create a new VM and configure it for MSDOS
3) Configure the boot sequence to: CD, HD, Floppy
4) Connect the CD-DRIVE to the MSDOS 6.22 ISO image
5) Startup the VM. If you get asked you to connect an image file to the CD, do it again in that dialog
6) After the VM starts, you will end with an A: drive, wich is actually the CD with the MSDOS 6.22 ISO image
7) Execute FDISK and create a primary DOS partition with all the size of the disk, or do whatever partition scheme you want.
8) Restart the VM. At A: prompt execute FORMAT C: /S
9) Execute all these commands:
Code: Select all
C:
MD MSDOS
COPY A:\*.* .\MSDOS /v
COPY A:\CONFIG.SYS
COPY A:\AUTOEXEC.BAT
COPY A:\HIMEM.SYS
COPY A:\CD1.SYS
10) Stop VM and change boot order to HD – CD – Floppy
11) Startup your VM and you are ready to go...
optional:
12) Download wchess.iso and connect the CD-DRIVE to the wchess ISO image
13) Switch to CD-DRIVE letter (usualy it's D, my VMware it's R) and start wchess
Regards,
Daniel
