So I'm in DOS mode on the PC card. How do I go about running Elite 2?
I have a file called Frontier/exe in drive C (somewhere down the directory structure) which presumably I have to find and then load.

Enter:
c:
cd c:\path\to\frontier
frontier.exe
Where 'path\to\frontier' is obviously the path to wherever frontier.exe is.
Depending on how you've got DOS mode set up (presumably you got there by quitting out of Windows, or rebooting into DOS mode?), you may not have sound/mouse drivers, so be warned. If you've got Windows 95 installed you might be able to run Elite from in windows instead.
[edit - gah, something keeps eating the slashes]

I've tried typing in the pathname and it just freezes. I don't have the mouse drivers as I couldn't get W98 to work doing that! Sound drivers are optional for W98 on the PC card but that may cause the problem with Elite2.
What do you mean by "cd c:" ? I get "invalid directory" from that. |

His URL still got a chuckle from me, though.  |

I think you'll find he's using Windows 98, not XP Yeah but a lot of the Win2000 tips (despite the URL only saying XP, it's for both) are applicable to Win98 too. |

I'd like to know if anybody has got it working on a RISC OS PCcard as PCPro uses its own sound drivers and I don't want to mess up my installation. |

I think I did, but that was some years ago now and it was all choppy and horrid. I don't remember how I managed it. |
