It was
pretty tricky sometimes getting some things to run and I remember
having to make special boot disks with customized Autoexec.bat and
config.sys for some programs (OK, I mean Games.. )
Oh, ya, went through this alot to run some very important applications!
(OK, you all know what they were! Games with high graphics and audio!, but they were very important to me...).
Loved (actually hated!) to see the quickly flashed "Memory Overflow" messages when trying to cram a Gallon of stuff into a teacup of DOS memory allocation!
When DOS 6.0 came out, the need for bootdisk caching/smashing went away with the multiboot startup menu ability (SUBMENU in the Config.sys).
That made it SOOOOOO much cooler for booting to a DOS prompt and running those
Important applications!
Epic Pinball is one of those important ones!

BTW: I don't know what has changed on my machine, but my clock
has been keeping accurate time for about three days now... ??
It's from posting the problem here! Now it will disappear for × amount of time, then return again, which means you will need to post the same question here again!
<just joking>
Remember when Gates was introducing 95 to the world? He was
installing some piece of hardware to show off plug and play, and it
gave him the blue screen of death! I don't think I've leaughed so
hard in my life!
I remember that! Fell off the chair laughing (ROTF LMAO!!!).
If I remember, it was a demonstration of how easilly a Scanner could be setup in Windows 98 (first release), when along came the lovely blue screen and white text (probably an Exception OE).
It was funny because I had just serviced a machine with a bad Scanner installation and resultant BSOD!
BTW, "Plug-and-Pray"... LOL!

I guess I forgot to turn around and bow three times toward Seattle.....
LOL!
Sometimes sacrificing Mac formatted floppy disks in a shredding machine will please the malign MS Gods!
