My brother runs WIN95. I set up a DOS MODE only setup for him to run his DOS
games and he has much better success with them than he had with DRDOS.
However, there is something weird about his system and BIOS, because games
that woud not work on his system with DRDOS worked fine on my system. I do
need to install QEMM 8 on his sytem to get some programs that need huge
amounts of conventional memory to work with MS DOS 7. Memory management does
not sem to be very good with MS DOS 7, so a third party memory manager such
as QEMM or 386MAX needs to be used.
