The great PC-Task thread

Could that be i am using an USB adapter to the amiga mouse port?
During the boot sequence of MSDOS 5, a Microsoft mouse driver is mentioned but does not find any mouse.
I'm going to try another driver.

Have you tried the mouse driver that comes with PC-Task?

What is the better emulator, PC-Task or PCx? Do both programs allow me to install Windows 95 (my ultimate goal - yes I know I need to get out more) ?

PCx won't run Windows 95.

Thanks Xanxi, will try this out asap. Mounting the DOS installation disks was faster than writing them on pc and using pc0:. First off, Windows 7 wasnt able to deal with 720kb disks, second, the DOS 6.x images are 1,44MB each. So I created a DOSDriver for the installation disks using Crossdos7, then entered the name of the DOSDriver as drive A: in PC-Task. Damn useful.

720KB disks work fine in Windows 7.

well, you might be able to read them. but try formatting one or creating a bootdisk or extracting a diskimage onto one.

FORMAT A: /T:80 /N:9 will format a 720KB disk.

Of course you can't create a boot disk. Windows 7 isn't going to fit on one floppy.

RawWrite for Windows will write a disk image to a 720KB floppy just fine.
