SYNOPSIS doscmd -23AbDEfHIMOPRrtVvXxYz -c file -d file -i port[:cnt] -o port[:cnt] -S int -U int [cmd [args ...]] DESCRIPTION Doscmd can either emulate a subset of DOS and run the single command cmd args, or it can be used to emulate a PC and boot DOS, which allows it to run a larger variety of DOS applications. It should be noted that MS DOS 6.2 and higher appear to cause difficulties for doscmd. To boot DOS, either provide the -b flag or omit the cmd argument. If -b is specified, cmd and args are ignored. Another alternative is swap cards between systems: 1. pull the working card out of the system with the floppy drive 2. put it into one of the other systems. 3. put the other systems card into the system with the floppy drive 4. re-configure the card with 3c5x9cfg.exe 5. repeat step 1-4 until all cards are re-configured.
