May 30, 20215 yr thanks to https://www.uwe-sieber.de/util_e.html i used the ctmouse19 from FreeDOS and works.. copy the ctmouse.exe to "c:\Windows\Command" heres my actual autoexec.bat and config.sys: autoexecute.bat: @ECHO OFF C:\Windows\command\MODE CON RATE=32 DELAY=2 C:\Windows\command\MODE CON CP PREP=((850) C:\Windows\command\EGA.CPI) C:\Windows\command\MODE CON CP SEL=850 keyb po,,c:\windows\command\keyboard.sys lh C:\Windows\command\MSCDEX.EXE /D:mscd001 lh C:\Windows\command\mouse.exe lh C:\Windows\command\doskey.com config.sys(line 10, 11 and 12 with an error): NUMLOCK=OFF BREAK=ON DOS=HIGH,UMB FILES=40 FCBS=1,0 BUFFERS=10,0 LASTDRIVE=J STACKS=9,256 COUNTRY=045,865,C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\COUNTRY.SYS DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\HIMEM.SYS /V DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\EMM386.EXE RAM /MIN=0 I=B000-B7FF /V DEVICEHIGH /L:1 =C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\ANSI.SYS DEVICEHIGH /L:1 =C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\DISPLAY.SYS CON=(EGA,,2) DEVICEHIGH /L:1 =C:\WINDOWS\IFSHLP.SYS DEVICEHIGH /L:2 =C:\CDROM\CDROM.SYS /D:MSCD000 SHELL=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\COMMAND.COM C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\ /E:1024 /P i don't know fix these errors... the himem.sys and emm386 give me a error: or is missing or corrupted. what i need is add sound and drives(cd rom and disquette) on MS-DOS... the mouse works like a sharm Edited May 30, 20215 yr by Joaquim
May 30, 20215 yr Normally HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE are in the Windows-directory, NOT in WINDOWS\COMMAND. I'm not sure about ANSI.SYS - search with DIR ANSI.SYS /s from the command-line (can take a while).
May 30, 20215 yr Author "Normally HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE are in the Windows-directory, NOT in WINDOWS\COMMAND." true.. after fix that i must press any key for continue... why? "I'm not sure about ANSI.SYS - search with DIR ANSI.SYS /s from the command-line (can take a while)." was found on "C:\windows\command"
May 30, 20215 yr 1 hour ago, Joaquim said: true.. after fix that i must press any key for continue... why? Don't know. You can REM lines one at a time to search if there is an entry causing this behaviour. Maybe start with the ANSI.SYS-line. Type 'REM ' at the beginning (without quotes) and reboot. BTW Why are you using COMMAND.COM from C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND instead from C:\WINDOWS ? Edited May 30, 20215 yr by deomsh Typo
May 30, 20215 yr Author "BTW Why are you using COMMAND.COM from C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND instead from C:\WINDOWS ?" what is the difference? honestly, i don't know.. i'm trying use it
May 30, 20215 yr You can begin with DIR A:\ /p to see if the drive exists and to view the content of the root directory of drive A: - and so on for all available drives. If you want to give some command on a certain drive (run a program or whatsoever), just type the 'drive-letter' and ':' and give 'Enter' - according to the example above: A: and you are 'on' that drive. If you want to 'call' a program while 'on' another drive, include the drive. Example: D:\SOMEPATH\APROGRAM.EXE
May 31, 20215 yr MS-DOS doesn't need drivers for internal Floppy disks nor Hard disks, if the Hard disks are set in BIOS to IDE-mode (if they are SATA). Your CD-drivers seems to be NOT correct in your CONFIG.SYS / AUTOEXEC.BAT. Both CDROM.SYS and MSCDEX.EXE should have the SAME entry, like /D:MSCD000

June 5, 20215 yr Author finally i get the CDROM and USB(and the external USB floppy drive) working from here: https://www.classic-computers.org.nz/blog/2018-02-05-USB-in-MS-DOS-and-Win98.htm i see 2 problems: 1 - i must plug the drives, before turn on the computer; 2 - i can't change the pen or other device.... i must turn off and plug them ... how can i fix these problems?
June 5, 20215 yr About your 'problems': USB MS-DOS drivers are designed in this way. I am not aware of any 'hot-pluggable' versions. So there is no 'fix', there is no 'problem'.
June 11, 20215 yr Author i need ask more 1 thing: i found a universal sound driver: http://www.georgpotthast.de/dossound/ isn't free, but seems to be for my sound card... but any sound.. even if i choose the speaker... what you can tell me? is need a command instead only execute the file?
June 11, 20215 yr DOSSOUND is not a DOS driver for AC'97/HD Audio! It's just a custom interface/API to play WAV files (with example programs included), it doesn't work with any existing DOS programs as it does not provide any Soundblaster/OPL interface that programs can use. Useless in your case. There are no DOS drivers for AC'97/HD Audio! If there's no option to add some kind of a sound card like on a laptop (and if there's no LPT port to use something like OPL2LPT), best bet is to...use DOSBox under Windows 98 SE (as stupid as this idea sounds, I know )
