DOS 6.22 in a VMware Virtual Machine! #DOScember

Listen Later

I wanted to do something a little different for #DOScember this year - installing MS-DOS 6.22 in a VM! In this video, I go through VM creation, DOS install, setup, memory management and more! And of course, it wouldn't be a retro DOS video without seeing Doom running at least once.
