<h1>MS-DOS & Software</h1>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This page contains download links for a very old Microsoft operating system so
|
||
|
|
that it can be preserved -- on this corner of the Internet, anyway -- for
|
||
|
|
anyone who is curious to tinker with the first versions of Windows or who just
|
||
|
|
wants to take a trip down Nostalgia Avenue.<p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The operating systems here are distributed as floppy disk image files (with an
|
||
|
|
.img extension). If you actually have a floppy drive, you'll have to flash
|
||
|
|
these images onto floppy disks. If you just want to use
|
||
|
|
<a href="http://www.virtualbox.org/">VirtualBox</a>, it can make use of the
|
||
|
|
floppy image files directly.<p>

<h2>Hardware Drivers for VirtualBox</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These are some hardware drivers for DOS and Windows 3.x that are known to work
|
||
|
|
with VirtualBox's emulated hardware. Drivers include:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>CD-ROM driver</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>DOSIDLE to make MS-DOS stop consuming 100% CPU</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>WQGHLT to make Windows 3.x stop consuming 100% CPU</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>SoundBlaster 16 as a CD image (requires the CD-ROM driver)</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
