I havn't mannaged to get any dos games to play on there. Firstly the reader needs to understand dos. Even if it does, the sapi or other software will not run well I have heard. As for hardware previded you have a serial port and win xp doesn't mind, ie does not crash, crashes and reboots with a hardware error meaning a reformat, or other things you theretically can. I havn't mannaged even on an old windowbridge system in 98 to fully play every game i own though. Inform mostly, not agt or tads, and even with tpatch I can't get some games like cosmoserve to run right. YOu really need either a dos system or a linux system me thinks to play tads and inform properly. Inform stuff can be played in windows with winfrotstts, but I have trouble with save and restore. Unless you have an old system you can play on, forget the games. At 04:49 PM 4/30/2006, you wrote: >Hi. can I still play my olddos games on an xp system?
