# Win3.11

Inatallationsanleitung für DOS-Box

# DosBox, Windows 3.11 & Games

Mitunter soll ältere Software nochmal zum Laufen gebracht werden. Gründe gibt es mindestens zwei: man will ältere Dokumente lesen und benötigt den entsprechenden Reader oder … „Just4Fun“ …man will nochmal ein altes Spiel von früher Spielen. Ich habe letzteres mit „Mamba“ probiert.

Benötigt wurde dafür Windows 3.11 und ich hatte ein Ubuntu 18.04.

Die Schritte in der Übersicht:

<div class="post__body" id="bkmrk-dosbox-installieren-">1. DosBox installieren
2. Laufwerk anlegen und einbinden
3. Windows 3.11 installieren
4. Mamba auf das Laufwerk auf und starten

</div>…und nun die Details…

#### DosBox installieren

Unter Ubuntu reicht hier ein `apt-get install dosbox`. Danach muss ein Ordner für evtl. Konfigurationen und das Laufwerk angelegt werden: `mkdir ~/.dosbox`.

#### Laufwerk anlegen und einbinden

Für das Laufwerk (c:) muss ein Unterverzeichnis in ~/.dosbox und ein Konfiguration (~/.dosbox/dosbox.conf bzw. ~/.dosbox/dosbox-VERSION.conf) angelegt werden:

`mkdir ~/.dosbox/drive_c`

Die Datei ~/.dosbox/dosbox.conf muss folgenden Inhalt haben:

```
[autoexec]
mount c ~/.dosbox/drive_c
```

#### Windows 3.11 installieren

Zunächst muss man sich die Windows 3.11-Disketten besorgen. Ich hatte 8 Disketten-Images. Diese habe ich einzeln gemounten und in einen Installationsordner kopiert:

```
mkdir ~/.dosbox/drive_c/install
for i in `seq 1 8`; do
  sudo mount -o loop Disk0$i.img /mnt
  cp /mnt/* ~/.dosbox/drive_c/install
  sudo umount /mnt
done
```

Nun „dosbox“ starten und dort ins Laufwerk „c:“ und in den Ordner „c:/install“ wechseln. Jetzt kann mit „setup.exe“ die Win3.11-Installation beginnen.

#### Mamba auf das Laufwerk auf und starten

Zum Schluss wird [Mamba](http://www.hans-brandt.de/Mamba/mamba.htm) in das Verzeichnis `~/.dosbox/drive_c` kopiert. Nun Windows hochfahren, den File Manager öffnen und Mamba starten.

Tutorial: Installing Windows For Workgroups 3.11 (Windows 3.11) on VirtualBox with full driver support.  
  
**Introduction**  
For this Tutorial VirtualBox has to be installed (correctly) on your computer.  
This tutorial was tested on the hosts Windows 7 SP1 and Linux (Ubuntu 11.04). But should probably work on other hosts as well.  
For this tutorial I used my 3.5-inch floppy disks of MS-DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.11. My present pc no longer has a floppy disk drive, so I used an old pc to create floppy images (.IMA) from my old floppy's.  
<div class="inline-attachment"><dl class="file"><dt class="attach-image">[![image.png](https://bst.wkmimnl.de/uploads/images/gallery/2025-05/scaled-1680-/SNjimage.png)](https://bst.wkmimnl.de/uploads/images/gallery/2025-05/SNjimage.png)

</dt><dd>floppyimages.jpg (55.78 KiB) Viewed 90277 times</dd></dl></div>Now that we have created the floppy images we can start to configure VirtualBox.  
Create a virtual machine  
Create in VirtualBox a new virtual machine with the name Windows 3.11 or any name you like. By OS Type select the Operating System: Microsoft Window. Under version select: Windows 3.1.

</dt><dd>vitualboxnewvm.jpg (50.34 KiB) Viewed 90277 times</dd></dl></div>Hit Next.  
By memory use the default Base memory size of 32 megabyte.  
Hit Next.  
Create a new hard disk.  
Hit Next.  
Use the default file type: VDI (Others may also work).  
Hit Next.  
By storage details use the option you like (I used Dynamically allocated)  
Hit Next.  
If you like, you can give the virtual disk another name or location.  
Use the default disk size of 1,00 Gigabyte (MS-DOS 6.22 can only recognise hard disks up to 2.1 GB)  
Hit Next, then two times Create to create the virtual machine.</div></div></div><div class="back2top">[<span class="sr-only">Top</span>](https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=102121#top "Top")</div></div></div><div class="post has-profile bg1"><div class="inner"><dl class="postprofile" id="bkmrk-glijnos-posts%3A%C2%A024-jo"><dt class="no-profile-rank no-avatar"><div class="avatar-container">

Search the web for the file AOATAPI.SYS and Copy the AOATAPI.SYS file to a floppy disk image, or use the CD-ROM driver floppy Image that I already made for you.  
Start your virtual machine. Load the floppy Image, and then type COPY A:\AOATAPI.SYS C: at the command prompt to copy the AOATAPI.SYS file to your C: drive.  
After that you must edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files.  
At the C:\ command prompt type EDIT AUTOEXEC.BAT. Place the line: c:\dos\mscdex.exe /d:idecd000 in the autoexec.bat and save, then exit (use the Alt key to activate the menu).
