Another dialog is displayed for the file EGA40850.FON – this file is part of the directory containing the patched SVGA driver.

Select the entry “ Super VGA 1024×768 256 Small” in the driver list that is displayed: C:>cd windowsĭuring the installation the location for the file VGA850.FON is requested – this file can be found on the second floppy disk of your Windows 3.1/3.11 installation media. Select “ Other” along with specifying the path C:SVGA when you’re reaching the “ Display” section. In this case you only need to copy the files on your system’s hard drive: C:>mkdir c:svgaĭuring the installation the utility setup must be executed inside the Windows directory.

Afterwards the patch is applied: C:svga>svga.exeĪlternatively you can use my floppy image that contains the patched driver.

For installing the driver the SVGA driver and the patch needs to be copied to the system. Using this patched driver it is possible to have a screen resolution up to 1024×768 pixel. Luckily there is a VMware patch for a generic SVGA driver ( for VirtualBox it is by the way the same).

Unfortunately other drivers shipped with the user-interface are not working if you are using a VMware hypervisor. Having a higher screen resolution than 640×480 the default VGA driver of Windows 3.1/3.11 offers is also important and useful. Afterwards the section “ ” in the file C:WINDOWSSYSTEM.INI needs to be expanded: C:TOOLS>cd WQGHLTĭuring the next Windows boot the driver is initialized and loaded. The tool is started during the next boot: DOSidle installed successfully.įor installing the Windows pendant the driver WQGHLT.386 needs to be copied into the directory C:WINDOWSSYSTEM. AMD PCNET network card driver ( will follow)įor installing DOSidle it is sufficient to create the following entry into the file AUTOEXEC.BAT: C:>EDIT AUTOEXEC.BAT.I created a floppy image that includes the following tools and drivers essential for virtualized environments: There is also a newer version 2.1 but some people reported that this might cause problems with the memory manager EMM386.

It is noticeable that MS-DOS as well as Windows 3.1/3.11 forces a high CPU load of the hypervisor. Using virtualization also brings some problems that need to be solved. Operationg system: Microsoft Windows 3.1 or MS-DOS.Virtual hardware version: 7 ( do not use version 4 as it is not supporting IDE hard drives!).When using VMware products the following settings are recommended: VM-Einstellungen There is an emulator called BOCHS that is also suitable for this scenario. But it is doubtful how long this will stay. Some current products like VMware Workstation are still supporting ancient architectures. You can easily avoid the problem of gathering hardware bei using virtualization. So – what can you use such an ancient system for today? Time to have a deeper look at the implementation! Virtualization So having a retro experience with realistic hardware also goes with appropriate costs. Passionate collectors that are willing to minimize their inventory know the market situation and demand higher prices than before. Things have changed a lot in 22 years of IT history – gathering supported hardware ( 386/486/586) is becoming more complicated and expensive.
