China DOS Union

I installed it with excitement when FreeDOS 1.0 was released, but I never really used it. Today I reinstalled it in a virtual machine. I found that the installation process was quite fast. After searching the forum, I found that many people were asking how to find the sound card driver and network card driver for DOS under VWare virtual machine. The result is that there has been a conclusion. Because there are bugs in the virtual machine, even if you find the sound card driver, you can't install it (I don't know about the new version). The webmaster wengier has already provided a solution. Although it is not perfect, it finally makes DOS under VWare virtual machine no longer a mute.

Re-post the steps to solve the sound:
Open the configuration file.vmx of the virtual machine with Notepad, for example, dos.vmx, and change the line:
sound.virtualDev = "es1371"
to:
sound.virtualDev = "sb16"
Then start to DOS under VMware and set: SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H7 T6
It worked. I tried the games installed by freedos. DOOM can't make sound, and JUMPBUMP (a rabbit that keeps jumping, hehe, I can't play it) can make sound!
You can also listen to MP3 music with QuickView Pro!

Thanks for sharing. To add or modify to an Intel Gigabit Ethernet card in VMware:

First, shut down VMware, find the virtual machine configuration file (.vmx file) generated by VMware, open it for editing, find ethernet0.present = "TRUE" and add a line below it:
ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000"
ethernet0 represents the first network card.

At this time, when using msclient 3.0 with the TCP/IP protocol, you can only specify the IP. Otherwise, it will get stuck at the DHCP.

The default is an AMD network card, and in DOS, only the first network card can be driven. After changing to an Intel network card, you may be able to drive network cards with different slot values by specifying the slot value in the PROTOCOL.INI file.
