Hi. I don't mind the black bars as long i can play the games and use a debugger that requires int13 (if not mistaken).
I'll try them, theFDAPM and APMDOS. I don't know about the bios power settings... I don't know about the speaker... last year i installed windows 98 SE on a virtual machine and when I exited to dos there were no sound whatsoever from the speaker. Couldn't test dos or windows 98 (never tried 95) natively on the laptop to see if there was a speaker and if it was working. At the moment i have the weekends free, but too tired to do anything... when i do i'll send the results, have to do it before December. If it works well, my present to me this year will be a sdd... Thank you.
