Re: FreeDOS disk image?

2005-05-07 by numaniod2005

I downloded the files now but when I click on install.bat it won't 
run. All I get is the massage "The system file is not suitable for 
running MS-DOS". I clicked on ignore but but the MS-DOS screen closes 
and northing happens? I have now copied it on to a floppy but what do 
I do with it now? 
I want to get the sounds files I downloaded on to floppy so I can get 
them on the synth but this is proving to be 
a bit 
of a pain in the ????.
