You can also supposedly record sound files from games via dosbox also. Never done it before myself, so I have no idea at all of how to do it, but people are always talking about it over on the dosbox forums.
There are two keys for it (both Fnumber keys). One starts recording, the other stops and saves. Records are kept as wav files in the dosbox folder (as I recall).

Well,
that is the main reason for having one anyway. :D
*installs SS1 on his P3/667, downclocked to 300 MHz to run fanless... goodness!* :cheeky:

*looks at 550MHz P3 Linux webserver, which can handle as much traffic as a 1.5GHz system running any version of Windows and has never required a CPU fan ever*
Downclocking never really occurred to me... I'm going to do that to my K6-2 so I can dump that noisy fan.

What, 667 Mhz. computers are now considered "old DOS-machines"? :tsktsk:

Eh? I'm with NHJ BV here. :weird: My old 486dx/66, that baby was a DOS machine. (Four years old and able to use it, I was doomed from the beginning, I swear.) I don't know, I guess I just can't really handle the concept of a computer which can handle Windows 95 or better being a DOS machine. :tsktsk: But then again, I seem to remember 486dx/66 being able to handle W95. I'll have to check that out.

A friend I had years ago ran 95 on his 486 25Mhz.

Hmmm. Maybe I was thinking of Windows 98, you only need a 386dx for 95, and 4 megs of memory, but you need a 486dx and 16 megs of memory for 98. Well, I suppose a reasonably slow Pentium 1 processor would work for a true DOS machine, but I still think of a 486dx/66 as a true DOS machine processor.
Man, my family has trouble throwing stuff away. I read the system requirements for the Windows 95/95 OS's off the boxes the installation disks came in, they were sitting on a cabinet full of 5 1/2 inch floppy disks. :eek: And I mean <i>full</i> of them. Now, those babies would be a good excuse to have a true DOS computer, considering they don't even make those kind of drives anymore.

I have around 300+ 3.5" disks and around the same number 5.25" ones. :) Too bad pretty none of works them now - those disks literally went useless on the shelf. :tsktsk: One thing I always disliked about floppies.
