  • I don't know if DosBox will run any of the old networking software like Novell, 3Com, IBM PC Lan, AT&T Starlan, or Banyan Vines, but it runs everything else quite well. Once you find the configuration file's location, it's very easy to edit and customize. It should come bundled with Windows. :)
  • I think it's quite brilliant. A little tricky to set up but it's been a marvel for me. I've wanted to run the old Amstrad Locoscript software and it's the first completely stable environment I have been able to do so in. I know it's a but whacky still to be running Locoscript but it's databases are just brilliant and I can interface with my Libreoffice spreadsheet very easily.
  • This is REALLY really handy if you don't happen to have a bunch of old hardware lying around! Thank you all for the hard work. I have 1 question - how hard would it be to get the BOOT command to work in an actual version of DOS?
  • I like DOSBox because you can run windows 98 on windows
  • Windows 11 is working ????
