I just installed Freedos 1.3 via USB. It works OK, but will not load the UDVD2 driver (it gets a #255 error). Will UIDE work instead? Or is the problem a bad HDD sector? Thanks, Steve ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net

Please ignore my last. I see that it's a hypervisor, which should do what I need. I almost thought it was too much like DOSBox which is its own OS and I was trying to stay away from that. Nothing against DOSBox, it has its place and is best in what it does. On 2019-09-19 21:22,

Not making any assumptions at all, and frankly it sounds interesting. Merely trying to understand what it is in comparison to Virtualbox and VMWare, or DOSBox. If it's a virtual machine app meant to install an OS into like the first two, then of course I'm very interested. On 2019-09-19

This is kind of a sore point when using Windows-based virtualization apps. Virtualbox (and I believe VMWare) support SoundBlaster 16, but only to a certain extent (as in later versions of Windows). They don't support DOS sound, period. One of the things I noticed with DOS games is that I/O
