Have you ever tried this?

DOSBox. Might be a solution for your new hardware old software issue.

f7,

Yes, I tried dosbox. It claims to interface with pharlap extender. I never could figure out how.

I think it is more centered on old games and such. It has pretty good documentation on sound blaster stuff.

Right now I waiting on another machine that is supposed to run Win98SE. Motherboard drivers seems to be the hangup. Thanks! -David

What about freeDos? Ever try that?

[David Bethel]

Nope, I never have heard of that one. I will look for it on google. -David

It looks interesting. Maybe pharlap would not be required with an updated DOS. Thanks! -David

Okay,

I found 2 softwares that look promising

Virtual PC and VMWare

You can setup numerous different OSs on a XP box. Not a dual boot, but a virtual machine on a work station.

So I'm setting up 98SE and so far it seems pretty good.

It's a little slower than the host machine, the mouse is a bit jerky, a couple of display adaptor issues, but R12DOS is at least running. -David

Huh, did not even think about VPC. I usually think of that when a mac needs to run windows. Hope it works ok for you.
