Hi SkateZilla,

>> alot of those games wont run, even in 98 Emu Mode. <<

If you dual boot and set up Autoexec to run Command.com as it's dying act, it's not in Emu Mode as far as I can tell. You're just running DOS 7.10 directly. To get into Windows, you need to run Win.com from the DOS prompt, "exit" won't get you back to the desktop like emu mode does. Anyway, I've never had any trouble doing it that way so long as I can get the real mode drivers and things to go with the hardware. The low resolution of some of the older stuff looks like bathroom tile on a 22" monitor, but it seems to run everything okay. I think it's more or less equivalent to booting a DOS floppy.

Best regards,

- Bob
