I printed out the autoexec and config guidelines from this site and put them that way on my computer, only removing the 'buffer' line. The DOS drivers work in MS-DOS. The problem could be due to the CMOS battery, or could be caused by a conflict from the detection of the previous sound card I had in there. An unknown device keeps detecting in Windows, and there's a gameport that keeps getting detected too, to complicate things further. Another update I have to report is that I cannot play Wolfenstein 3D. If I attempt it under Windows, the game immediately boots back to Windows and the computer hangs. Under DOS, the game starts, but when I fire a shot or open a door, the computer hangs. (No big issue to me if it's directly in DOS. Windows is not affected.) On the other hand, Quake runs in DOS without any problems. I currently do not have a Roland SCC-1, as I can't find one on eBay. Patio, I have to mention that I'm going to wait until I see one that has the original driver disks with it.
My new computer does not have a floppy drive, and I can't copy the files to a CD on the old computer I'm dealing with, so I can't supply the files as they are. I'd have to type them myself. I'll attempt that:
Config.sys:
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386 NOEMS
DOS=HIGH,UMB
FILES=30
STACKS=0,0
DEVICEHIGH=C:\CDROM\GSCDROM.SYS
Autoexec.bat:
SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 H7 P330 T6
SET SBPCI=C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\AUDIO\DOSDRV
SET SOUND=C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\AUDIO\DOSDRV
SET PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\
LOADHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD000
LOADHIGH=C:\MOUSE\MOUSE.EXE
The last line I have in Autoexec.bat has 'DOSKEY' loaded. I can't remember the location of Doskey off the top of my head, so I didn't include it here.
That's all I can remember of what I've got in the Config.sys and Autoexec.bat files. They're both located in the C:\ directory.
EDIT: It appears that I can play Wolfenstein 3D after all. I only had to turn off the digitized sound. I still had sound, but it was inferior. That was the thing that prevented the computer from hanging. Seems like I found the answer. The only DOS program I have left to test is Dungeon Master II.
