Home of the Underdogs entry (no download, but it has another buying link and some useful info on the game itself).

Not sure how useful that would be.

Just a note: While DOSBox is excellent, if the game can be run on the XP command prompt/NTVDM, that makes it much simpler to deal with, and it also saves CPU/RAM since that's one less program running (DOSBox itself). The best attitude is try to get the game running on XP itself, and if that won't do...

With CMOSPWD, you don't need to go through the trouble of opening the computer case. It's just a matter of typing a DOS command, reboot, and presto! Your computer is reset to factory defaults. No damage at all! Of course, in the 0.00000000001% chance that CMOSPWD damages your motherboard, no liabili...

Perhaps the serial port ribbons might be faulty. Try replacing them if you can.

Or if you're sort of a stuntman, clear your CMOS with a program like CMOSPWD, and allow the BIOS to reset to factory defaults, that might do it.

Both of those games use DOS4GW, a 32-bit DOS extender. DOSBox is not very good with 32-bit games (yet) so your best bet is to find some other way other than DOSBox. (like real-mode DOS/Virtual PC/etc.)

AFAIK, SIMMs only go up to 32 MB per stick.

2004 was a REALLY REALLY BAD YEAR for this poor slapped-around forum!
