Ultimate MS-Dos 7.1 is a modified MS-Dos version that is optimized for retro gaming PC's. Out of the box it comes with all the essential tools you need for your system, including cd-drivers, mouse drivers, partitioning tools, ram limiters, slowdown utilities, file navigation, qbasic and more! All in a convienient single floppy package, or if you have a more modern system you can alternatively use the USB Stick version or Windows installer for an expanded edition. This larger edition expands UDBD with things like soundcard drivers and support for USB stick booting (on a compatible bios) allowing you to try it on more modern hardware. UDBD: Floppy Version UDBS: USB Stick Version UDWIN : Installer for Windows 98 only UDBCD : Bootable CD containing all other editions --- Readme --- ---------------------------------Introduction-------------------------------- This disk was made after the purchase of an old thin client for retro gaming it contains all the tools I need to play DOS games on the thin client (except for system specific drivers) and is also optimized for DOSBOX. You can use this disk to easily install MSDOS7.1, easily install WIN95/98 and even easily install my custom config and drivers inside of your WIN98. Because of space constraints i could only include the Bus-Logic SCSI driver. Need a different one? Replace scsi.sys with your own and it should work fine! ---------------------------------Installation-------------------------------- Installation can be done using the special setup tool we provided on the disk The setup tool works incredibly easy and supports a few scenario's. - SETUP [FLOPPY] [HDD] - This will install this dos disk to the drive if Windows is detected it will ask to be installed inside of Windows. - SETUP [WINCD] [HDD] - This will prepare the drive for Windows installation Using the above tool you can very easily prepare a new system even if the destination drive is not C: .
