Shaun, see my other reply to Thomas - <smile> - was talking about launching
the VMWare instance of dos 6.22, firing up windows 3.1 inside it, and then
launching that 16 bit version of dos from a terminal window, operating
through the windows driver system, etc.
Stay well

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] using dosbox
the issue jakob is 64 bit windows will not run 16 bit dos games or 16 bit
anything because 64 bit cpus can't process 16 bit data!
Ms took dos emulation out of windows 64 bit which is why at least on the
systems with 4gb or less the maximum the 32 bit standard can handle that I
am running a 32 bit os.
dos games run to an extent with nvda its not perfect but they do run.
I have 7 though so who knows.
as security gets more and more harder to handle some of these older
programs may not run as well as they used to.

Think actually works a bit better, in terms of screen reading in the dos
prompt if just launch windows, open it's rendition of terminal window,
make sure am in root of C: drive, and run ASAP from within there before
running game.

so after you launched windows3.1 you went into the dos prompt option
which brought back asap and then run tenpin?

OK, checked, and did have tenpin from personal computing, or something
like that, here in my CD iso, and when launched it from just the command
prompt, and chose sound card, it did nothing the first time, and then on
second try, started trying to work, but seemed to lock up, but, when
then rebooted, and launched windows first, and then ASAP from within
that ms dos terminal, and then launched tenpin, and chose sound card,
the music, and sound effects, etc. did play/work. Played a couple of
bad ball rolls to double check, and sound effects, music clips, etc. all
seemed fine..?
Not sure if that's the right game, and did also hear a slight stutter
effect during music clip playback, but, that might eitehr be the way it
would have sounded, or else it's due to virtual hardware overload, or
something...<smile>
Stay well
This was a quick little test, but, am pretty sure that's exactly

OK, just tried both firing up ASAP before launching windows, and
launching it from inside the MS dos terminal window launched from
within windows 3.1, and both times I can use windows, via window eyes,
and then use the command prompt window from within windows, but ASAP
only lets me hear what's automatically popping up on screen, and
screen review keystrokes don't seem to work, and wouldn't know what to
try to see how sound is working - sorry.

Josh, does the sound blaster cooperate if you open a dos terminal
window from within windows 3.1?
Not sure contents of terminal window would get read to you unless
you had launched ASAP before firing up windows, using window eyes -
primary issue there when tried that out a bit was their control
panels interfering with each other since they both seem to get
invoked using ctrl + \, but, don't think they stop each other from
operating otherwise.

the very best reliable access to dos is the vmware dos virtual
machine. it works 100% perfect, except no sound blaster in dos. but
sound blaster in windows.

Hi Jacob,
That is my guess as well. The problem with emulators and virtual
machines is there is sometimes a problem with accessing hardware,
and
the problem only gets worse with virtual hardware like these
virtual
com ports. That is why I think getting reliable access to Dos is
going
to be tricky.
Cheers!
