Load the DOS drivers.

If your next question is where do you get the DOS drivers?....from the manufacture of the soundcard and mouse. If you use MOUSE.COM from your c:\windows\command directory, this will get your mouse working in DOS if it is MS compatible.

DOS isn't like windows where all of the drivers are loaded automatically by the OS. You have to manually load them. Once you get them working, you can add the command line to the Autoexec.bat so they load each time you boot into DOS.

: I've been trying to get this DOS bootup workin and it's been heck. I opened up ArcadeOS and i couldn't see either of my 2 mice, no big deal. Tried running a game and it won't work because there's no sound card installed! Please tell me how to get these to work in DOS. Thank you very much!!!!
