Does anyone know if the Rendition tracks and Carsets can be used with
the Windows version of ICR-II?  I believe I have the 3D version on the
CD as well, but do I need to run these in DOS?  My current card is a
TNT2 w/ 32 MB of RAM.  I am guessing I need a Rendition PCI card to be
able use these tracks and carsets, correct?

You don't need real DOS; you can still run ICR2-3D by booting to DOS
mode (at least in Win9x).

        Erm.  That is real DOS.

        Win2000, like WinNT, doesn't have that.  They can run a DOS window,
but they can't get to real DOS.

You'd be suprised how many old dos games work in NT4 or Win2K. Check out

This is what I thought Jonathan but since I do not run Win2K I
wasnt sure? Thanx for the info!! Btw: Would it be a good idea
to setup a special multi-menu autoexe-config.sys to boot from
at the start? Tia.. I use to do this until 98SE..
Cheers Thom_j.

Can you still do that? I was under the impression that you couldn't
anymore starting with Win98SE (I only have the orig 98). I have ICR2
running with a custom autoexec and config that are set up in the
Advanced tab of the Program properties dialog.

Right. I guess foot-in-mouth disease has struck me again. But, the
bottom line is that a Win98 boot disk will work; it doesn't have to be
an antique MS-DOS 6.0 boot disk.

LOL.. Your guess is as good as mine? Like I said I havent used
my menu-driven autoexec-config.sys since the older 98. Thom_j.

Win2000 don't have "boot to DOS"...

        Not really.  I'm pretty sure that most that run in 9x under a DOS
window would work fine in NT.  It's the ones that need the boot to DOS
that would have problems, and those aren't too many.

        More common, however, is no sound unless booting to DOS, a problem
that would probably hit frequently under NT?

        Depends on if you want to be bothered.  I still do it, though I
doubt I will when I get my new machine.  Pretty easy, however.

No sound? You're obviously lacking knowledge the delights of VDMS. I've got
sound working in DOS games in NT far easier than I've managed in ME.
