And what is wrong with win98 boot disk dos? It is the version I use all the time.
Another easy option is to install windows 95 or 98 and set ip up to boot to dos instead.

He's trying to edit the msdos.sys file so the boot screen does not show up.
Normally it would involve changing a line in the msdos.sys file so it wouldn't show up. However; the bootdisk version has just *one* line in it, which says
;format
and that's it.
So how about a request for this one file? The 1024k version of msdos.sys from Windows 98SE.

If you've got some place I can upload DOS 7 to, I've got a DOS 7.1 CD I can make into an .iso for you to burn to CD...will that work for ya? Otherwise, I've got DOS 6 on floppies I can send.

I tried dmame, and it worked fine. I'm using AdvanceMame with AdvanceMenu, though.

Incorrect. The final version of DOS from IBM was DOS 7.0. it came with the PS/2 computers, and IBM was selling it at retail. It came on 5 3 1/2 inch disks.

That would be IBM-DOS then, wouldn't it? We're talking MS-DOS.
