There was a thread a while back about running DOSBOX on your N810. This is one of them: http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ead.php?t=5686 and also this one: http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...d.php?p=192119. It looks like these threads deal with gaming, but it does tell you how to install DOSBOX.

I took an old Windows 3.1 disk and copied the installation files to my SD card. I ran the SETUP.EXE utility and had it install to D:\WINDOWS.

Once that installed I just open DOSBOX, cd into my WINDOWS directory, and run "win.com".

I don't see how to control the mouse pointer. The stylus really doesn't seem to control it. This could be a setting under DOSBOX I just haven't had time to figure it out.

Someone mentioned games. I installed a bunch of my old Sierra On-Line games (King's Quest, Leisure Suit Larry, etc.) and they all work reasonably well under DOSBOX.

Do these instructions help? I didn't write up anything formal, but if there's enough interest I will.
