DOS drivers under Windows 2000 Pro

I've heard that this is possible, any idea how? I'd like to run some old DOS games with the correct drivers. They work as is (Doom, ROTT, Duke Nukem), but there's no sound, network, etc., as there obviously aren't any DOS drivers loaded. Any way to make these drivers work under 2000? In a "DOS box"?
 
It can't really be done since there is no DOS. There are only certain things that you can do to simulate some DOS items like environment variables, like SET BLASTER and things like that. Actually running DOS TSRs and drivers is not possible most of the time.

If you really want to use DOS drivers in a pure DOS environment, I suggest you get a Win98 boot disk and configure that fully with the drivers and without the GUI loading. This will leave you access to FAT32 partitions. A DOS 6.22 boot disk will not let you access FAT32 partitions should your games be located on them.
