Retyping the same optimal configuration can get pretty tedious, so I generally prefer to have a template handy that does the work for me. The setup program in MS-DOS 5/6 supplies a minimal configuration which may not be desirable if you need a lot of conventional memory freed up or you want SMARTDRV.EXE to enable write caching. I find that installing MS-DOS 6.22 from a CD-ROM or over the network is actually very practical when dealing with a bunch of old systems, at least those of the AT kind or faster. This is why Windows 98 still included bootdisks with CD drivers, even though the CD-ROM was bootable.

This didn’t become common until the later part of the 90’s, so most machines from before that period will be out of luck (unless you have one of the aforementioned addon SCSI/IDE card’s with bootable ATAPI support, then it would work for example, I have a 386 that can boot from CDs thanks to the Adaptec SCSI card.) However, if your system can’t boot from a CD-ROM you could simply boot from a real floppy that loads the CD drivers and proceed from there. Remember though, if you mainboard’s BIOS (or SCSI/IDE BIOS for addon cards) doesn’t support the bootable CD standard it won’t work.

(What I just described is the Floppy Emulation mode of the El Torito standard modern systems can use the direct access method, which gives them access to the full CD.) Once those load from the virtual floppy you now have access to the full CD-ROM. This floppy image acts as a bootstrap loader of sorts in the case of DOS it would contain the kernel and, plus MSCDEX and CD-ROM drivers. If it finds this image it loads it into RAM and uses it as a virtual floppy drive to boot from. Now, I don’t think this is an official Microsoft release, and I have no idea where I got it (I’ve had it for 15 years, at least), but it does indeed work.īasically, a bootable CD-ROM contains (what amounts to) a 1.44MB floppy image in a special location that your system/IDE/SCSI BIOS looks for during startup. It boots right into the MS-DOS Setup and proceeds just as if you were installing from floppies.

I have a bootable MS-DOS 6.22 Full Installation ISO that I’ve used on both real PCs and VMs. You really don’t know what you’re talking about. The closest you'll get are some OEM system restore CDs and that'd be too old for being bootable either. On a fresh system, that's impossible without a boot disk with CD-ROM drivers (like.win9x boot disks).

You're talking freaking DOS, an OS without a CD-ROM driver of its own, to be isntalled from disc. It doesn't exist in a bootable form either. MS-DOS 6 CD releases don't legally exist. All sorts of ways to do this on the USB bus, but what on the old DOS could my C program use to set a flag on the PCMCIA card? I've been looking for documentation on the PCMATA.SYS or PCMSS400.EXE or PCMCS.EXE where maybe there is an eject or other signal the old DOS could send to the PCMCIA card.That certain "abandonware" site is revising history again. The trick is a flag each side could use for "done or ready-to-flip - when both flags are set, the control on the PCMCIA card would flip the memories and reset the flags. So one way the PCMCIA interface to the Datalight is Memory (or 8Mb ATA Drive) "A" and a USB interface bus to Memory "B". My theory is to build a PCMCIA card of my own with two 8Mb memory chips and a controller to switch a bus between them. I want to go to the next step to give the Datalight device more life. Also the Datalight is limited to 10Mb max, 2Mb internal and 8Mb on a PCMCIA ATA card. The only interface I have is a COM at 115200. I've setup a VM on Win10 which runs FreeDOS 1.1 so that I can compile C programs that run on the Datalight ROM-DOS. Hello, I have a device which boots Datalight ROM-DOS v6.22. I would recommend to play with PCem for a bit (there you could have floppies of various sizes easily) and practice the whole installation procedure there (without wasting tons of CDs) before going to real vintage computer. which kinda creates "chicken and egg" problem. There are some DOSSHELL related games, though: īut all that requires deep understanding of DOS, floppies, CDs and so on. You could use "fdisk" and "sys" commands to make your HDD bootable, then just copy that directory from one computer to another.

You would need to install MS-DOS on virtual system from virtual floppies first, but then you could make bootable CD (with MS-DOS and CD drivers) and transfer your DOS installation to the desired system (because, practically speaking, MS-DOS setup only unpacks files and puts them into "C:\DOS" directory). Heck, it's even possible to do that using external USB CD if you system's BIOS supports that!

That being said it does not mean you couldn't put MS-DOS on a new system without floppy.

All versions of DOS (MS-DOS, PC-DOS, DR-DOS, etc) could be only and exclusively be installed from floppies, never from CDs.
