[[File:MS-DOS-3.png\|thumb\|right]] {{DISPLAYTITLE:How to install MS-DOS 3.30 in QEMU}} This page details how to install MS-DOS 3.30 in QEMU. '''MS-DOS 3.30''' was released by Microsoft in February 1988. While it is obviously lacks in features compared to FreeDOS or even MS-DOS 6.22, it runs some software and OSes like [[QEMU/Guests/Windows_1.x-2.x\|Windows 1.0]] and [[QEMU/Guests/Windows_1.x-2.x\|Windows 2.0]] with more stability. When that's done, start up QEMU with a command like the following: <~~code~~pre>qemu-system-i386 -m 1M -hda DOS.img -net none -vga std -monitor stdio -rtc base=localtime -fda /path/to/dos3.3-disk1.img</~~code~~pre> Pretty basic command here since you really don't ~~need anything~~much for DOS. We disable the network since this version of DOS can't use it anyway (newer versions can use a packet driver). We give it 1 MB of RAM, ~~mainly~~mostly so ~~the BIOS~~SeaBIOS can actually start. (MS-DOS 3.3 ~~really~~itself only needs ~~like~~around ~~256~~36 KB of RAM to ~~actually~~ work). ~~If all went well, you should be in a screen like this:~~ If all went well, you should be in a screen like this: [[File:Win1_Install_1.png]]
