Does anyone have any experience running MS-DOS 6.22 on VPC? I've
managed to get Win3.1 running in SVGA mode at 600x800, and I've got
some of my old DOS software copied over.
What I really want to know how to do is access the CD-ROM, Ethernet
Card, and if possible get video drivers for the S3 card that VPC
emulates. Oh, and I need a mouse driver for the PS/2 Mouse so I can
run a couple games :^)
In case anyone cares, so far I've gotten the following working:
AROS
BeOS 4.5
BeOS Max
MS-DOS 6.22/Win 3.1
Windows 98SE
Windows XP Pro SP2 (it came with this, so it had better work)
Obviously only Win98 and WinXP support the cooler features such as
mapping folders on the Mac as network drives, and printing to the Mac
printer.

What's an AROS?
Virtual PC should have come with the cdrom driver and MSCDEX

As near as I can tell it came with Virtual PC 7 and WinXP Pro SP2,
and that is it.
I don't think my old copy of VPC3 (where I got the Win98SE from) had
anything for DOS either.

CD-ROMS you usually need a driver in the config.sys (try pinching the one
off a Win98 boot floppy) and MSCDEX in the autoexec.bat to link it to a
drive letter.
Network is easy enough; grab the TCP/IP extensions for Win3.11 (they used
to be on Microsoft's website, but I don't know if they still are. I ought
to have a copy of them too, somewhere..) and you can use these outside of
Windows too, once set up. This will also allow you to map network drives,
access printers, etc, (assuming you have SMB compatible shares somewhere).

Calmira is quite nice as a shell -- I use it on my Win3.1 installation on
my utility 486.

What model S3 card is it? I may have some old driver
discs about here for S3..
Found that, in fact I think the archive I got contains drivers for a lot of
other OS's as well.
The card emulated is the "S3 Trio32/64" with either 4MB, 8MB, or 12MB (or is
it 16MB?).
Network is easy enough; grab the TCP/IP extensions for
Win3.11 (they used
to be on Microsoft's website, but I don't know if they still are. I ought
to have a copy of them too, somewhere..) and you can use these outside of
Windows too, once set up. This will also allow you to map network drives,
access printers, etc, (assuming you have SMB compatible shares somewhere).
I went digging first thing this morning, and found my copy of WFW3.11, as a
result I've go that installed now, along with the S3 driver and DEC 21041
NIC driver.
I'll go hunting for TCP/IP drivers tonight if I have time. I have a box of
PC/TCP that was sealed when I got it :^) and I've never used it. I'll have
to take a look at it, not sure what OS it supports.
Though I really should spend the time trying to get Win95 as it looks like
that is the OS I need to be running for some DEC software I have.
DOS itself is most interesting for some of my old games :^) Though so far
I've not had any luck getting Warlords 2, the only one I've tried, running.
