I played around with the w98 start floppy
to see if I could make it more useful
Please try it
http://w1.494.telia.com/~u49403693
It is start98modbeta5.exe a winimage SFX which formats
and makes the floppy, 1704k in size
It has Norton commander on it, not full version but
has editor, filehandling (attrib etc.) wpview, arcview
nczip (double click on *.zip and it opens as folder and just
mark files you need and copy) mouse support (not usb)
Also has syschk a program to get some hardware info
and IRQs etc. works ok except for its benchmarking
and xclone a dir and drive cloning tool it handles
long filenames if you run in windows but not in DOS
but you can clone w98s installation folder in DOS
because it does not have any long filnames.
I have taken attrib, debug and ext out from original
added emm386 for better memory handling
removed mscdx and oakdrom.sys and replaced them
with vide-cdd.sys and shucdx.exe which are about the
half size and works fine also fdisk is a the free fdisk
also smaller and does a bit more.
Try it out and give me feed back please.
