I just installed Dos 7.1 off that cd, installed Win 3.11, and thus far haven't noticed anything amiss at all. 's backup of it's old homepage claims it's 100% compatible with Win3.11, no patches required.
CALMIRA LH INSTALL
I actually installed Dos 7.1 off a community made install cd hosted on WinWorldPC.
CALMIRA LH WINDOWS
Windows 3.x never required LFN but there the Calmira LFN shell and the. The hardware of the time was past than what DOS 6.22 could fully take advantage of, anyway.ĬPUs of several hundred MHz, HDDs larger than 10 gigs, 16/24/48/64/96 MB of RAM, VBE 3 gfx cards with 8MB and up.īy comparison, MS-DOS 6.2x was released when 386/486 PCs with 40MHz, 120MB HDD, 4MB RAM, 512K VGA were still sold as lower end machines. my own tweaks (basically got rid the LH and DEVICEHIGH lines) before running.
Without breaking DOS 5/6 compatibility, of course.īut FAT32 was required for serious working, anyway, so DOS 7 made sense. The arcade/emulator scene (primarily on DOS till the mid-2000s) even sort of embraced it or supported things like long file names. Tinkerers and video game fans often used DOS 7 for their hobby, also. People often dedicated books to DOS 7, without focusing on Windows 9x. MS-DOS 7.x was often used as a MS-DOS 6.2x alternative in the 1990s. True, but most of the issues are mainly centered around DOS version check on some utilities and in the case of FAT32 partitions: direct disk access (the program supporting this requires FAT32 support) and lack of FCBS support.Īt least for Windows 3.x one could try the following: Making Windows 3.11 work in DOS7.10 (patches inside), but I don't recommend that and prefer sticking to the Windows 9x GUI instead. DOS7 is not intended to be a stand-alone OS, just the layer beneath Win95, but you can make it so if you want.
