Joaquim Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 (edited) 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, 2021 by Joaquim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deomsh Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 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). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joaquim Posted May 30, 2021 Author Share Posted May 30, 2021 "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" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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, 2021 by deomsh Typo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joaquim Posted May 30, 2021 Author Share Posted May 30, 2021 "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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joaquim Posted May 30, 2021 Author Share Posted May 30, 2021 next step: how can i get the drives(D: and A: and others)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deomsh Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joaquim Posted May 31, 2021 Author Share Posted May 31, 2021 maybe my autoexecute.bat and config.sys are incompleted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deomsh Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joaquim Posted June 5, 2021 Author Share Posted June 5, 2021 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?

deomsh Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 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'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joaquim Posted June 11, 2021 Author Share Posted June 11, 2021 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?

MrMateczko Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 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 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
