How do I set up new hardware in my DOS based computer?

I haven't played a DOS game since the first Doom but would it not be easier to install Windows98 and use the dos from there? Seems like hardware config in DOS would be nearly impossible.

you can install a virtual pc software such as VMware and then define a pc with a sow speed and then instal dos on it and then run your program in there...

Use a floppy disk or a CD(use a burner).You could also send yourself or somebody else an e-mail Whit the files attached and then just retrieve when you have your new computer set up.

You should have a bootable cdrom somewhere.\n\nHere's the current home of VMS:\n    http://h71000.www7.hp.com/\nIf you can't any support from the specrometer vendor, maybe these guys can help:\n    http://www.openvmshobbyist.com/

If you are using windows, it should automatically install its own drivers for the hardware.  Otherwise you can go to the website of the manufacturer and download the drivers.

You could run it inside VMWare Player or M$ Virtual PC. You possibly could talk to it via the virtual LAN card.

I can't find any info on that... try calling the local computer guy (every town has one!) He might be able to borg it together for you.

You need to set up seperate hardware profiles. Just go to Help in the start menu and do a search for hardware profiles to learn how.

after installing the card and restarting the PC you should see the message "new hardware detected", then follow the instructions on the screen. if you're asked for the CD then insert the XP Home disk. Maybe this is even not necessary  if the installer find an appropiate driver in the driver directory.\n\nedit:\ni forgot to mention you must be logged in as administrator

You will probably need to purchase an extra IDE controller.  You can find them cheap online at sites like TigerDirect or NewEgg.\n\nMake sure to get one with it's own BIOS.  It will cost a little more than the non-BIOS ones, but will save you $$ versus buying a new PC.
