Well...

No Regret

Spaceman
I downloaded the techW0rm bootdisk from http://jason-n3xt.org/dos/twtw.htm and it works like a charm : I now got 630 kb of mem in Dos and can now play any old game I want. There's only 1 problem: no sound. I've tried to put my autoexec.bat souncard lines in the bootdsk's autoexec.bat, but it doesn't work. This bootdisk's autoexec is complicated beyond belief (mine anyway) so maybe somebody here has an idea.

my autoexec.bat:
SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 H7 P330 T6
SET SBPCI=D:\SBPCI


mode con codepage prepare=((850) D:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\ega.cpi)
mode con codepage select=850
keyb be,,D:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\keyboard.sys


the bootdisk's autoexec.bat:
@ECHO OFF

Your missing the DOS driver for your sound card. Which SB sound card do you have? Post your PC's autoexec.bat, config.sys and dosstart.bat files.
 
It's a Creative CT5880 PCI

autoexec.bat:
SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 H7 P330 T6
SET SBPCI=D:\SBPCI


mode con codepage prepare=((850) D:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\ega.cpi)
mode con codepage select=850
keyb be,,D:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\keyboard.sys


config.sys:
DEVICE=D:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=D:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE
device=D:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\display.sys con=(ega,,1)
Country=031,850,D:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\country.sys
DOS=HIGH

dosstart.bat
D:\SBPCI\SBINIT

There we are; it's in your Dosstart file. Add these lines to the top of the bootdisk's autoexec.bat file:

SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 H7 P330 T6
SET SBPCI=D:\SBPCI
D:\SBPCI\SBINIT

Try this instead. The J200 is for your joystick.

SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 H7 P330 T6 J200
SET CTSYN=C:\WINDOWS
SET SBPCI=D:\SBPCI
D:\SBPCI\SBINIT
 
Your bootdisk for sure.

You can add it to your pc autoexec.bat too. This would also add SB16 Emulation to your pc. But first check the Device Manager for "Creative SB16 Emulation" to see if it already installed.

I tried both and for both Qemm gives me an error. Any suggestions?

You probably need to rerun 'optimize' of QEMM to include the new TSR. If that does not work I have to agree with the last poster - too complicated to tell a bug.

Actually I don't understand part of that command. Like the MD5 stuff?!? Looks like the file does way more (unhealthy stuff?) then normal startup
 
That autoexec does a lot of jumping around within the file -- the attempt, I presume, by the author to support as many configurations as possible. Unfortunately, when you have a configuration not covered by that autoexec, it's rather difficult for anyone but the original author to fix.
