NOTE: I did not know how DOS 7 handles the NECAI dictionary, so I configured it to use the NECAI files from DOS 6. To disable these, please rem the lines mentioning 86VOL, CLIP, and GDC from the AUTOEXEC.BAT in the INSTALL directoryĬredits go to PhilsComputerLab for the AUTOEXEC/CONFIG boot menu, and to Kobushi for the YAHDI image, which demonstrated how to set up essential drivers. in the CONFIG.sys file within the INSTALL folder, replace NECCDB.SYS with the appropriate driver name for your computerģ. The CD driver in the installed CONFIG.SYS assumes a CD-60F is installed change the set command on line 21 of INSTALL7.BAT to your desired drive letterĢ.

INSTALL7.BAT uses D: as the destination drive Read the following and make the appropriate changes to the mentioned files before installing:ġ.

There are a few assumptions I made in the install script (INSTALL7.BAT on disk 1) because i was targeting my own system, but they can easily be modified to suit your PC. create an active fat32 partition using FDISK insert disk 1 into FDD A: and disk 2 into FDD B: then boot to floppyġ. Disk 3 contains the files for the Japanese Front End Processor.Ġ. Disk 2 contains more DOS tools and 3rd party tools, namely: the hard disk tools from Marimo, 86VOL to control volume, GDC control driver, QMOUSE, and CLIP to get screen grabs. Disk 1 contains DOS drivers and command tools from the NEC Windows 98 CD as well as a custom install script and custom config/autoexec files for the HDD. The main motivation behind this was to get DOS running on a FAT32 partition. Wanted to share a set of floppy disks I put together for deploying the DOS version of Windows 98 (AKA DOS 7.1) on your PC-98 system.

Install dos 7.1 to external hard drive
