I think I have a zip file somewhere that contains a simple DOS cab setup with ArcadeOS and Vantage. I'll email it to you if it'd be any help, all you'll need to do is format a hard-drive and extract the contents onto the drive (and find roms to put on there of course).
You'll probably still need to setup your soundcard, unless it's the same soundcard I've been using.

That would be extremely helpful. And come to think of it not all my machines have soundcards anyways. What are you using?
I'll PM you my email addy
MrBond:
Not exactly what you are talking about, but similar, just for general knowledge. Here is a bootable iso image that you can burn to a cd and place in your cd-rom drive during bootup. It will install Mame and ArcadeOS to your specifications. Obviously it won't work in ALL situations, but I had luck with it when I tried it a long time ago (I have since gone winxp with 3-d arcade as a frontend). It formats your harddrive too if you need that done. (basically all the DOS gruntwork is done for you)

Just as a side note here, I was able to run VAntAGE on an old Pentium, 60mhz, with frameskip=1 or something like that. Not bad for something so crappy.

I can run it on a 486 DX4/100 with no problems. Only a couple games it doesn't like. Gunsmoke comes to mind.
