Re: [Freedos-user] FreeDOS workaround for hidden IDE controller?

If you want to use CF chips instead of a harddrive. I'd recommend Komputerbay chips sold on Amazon. They aren't marked internally as removable like most. Currently I'm using 32 gig to run dos. Hard to find anything smaller now. You can run win 7 on them if you want. cheers DS On Thu, 4 Jan

Re: [Freedos-user] Is there such a thing as an add-on SATA host controller that works with DOS?

There are SATA adapters sold on Amazon that let a CF chip work on an SATA interface. You might checkout cf chips sold on Amazon by Komputer Bay. Sandisk sell the best chips but they are setup for cameras not computers. Sandisk chips are internally marked as removable this can cause a lot of

Re: [Freedos-user] IDE <-> CF adapters

Check the speed of the cf chip. If too fast for your machine, it might not work. If over 266x I have problems. Sandisk chips are high quality but they are internally marked as removable. Alot of programs are made to refuse to run on removables. Komputerbay cf chips are internally marked as fixed,

Re: [Freedos-user] IDE <-> CF adapters

I've been using the same cf card for years. OS's 2000 an higher can only run on KomputerBay cf chips. These versions of windows check for fixed or removable. XP will give you a memory error on a Sandisk card but it still will run poorly. Sandisk does make a fixed version but you can't buy them.

I think you're an expert on DOS. Can you tell me if there is a way to get DOS to detect 2 printers on 2 different ports? It can only see 1 printer, the second is ignored. cheers DS ** >From Dale Sterner - MS organic chemistry

You use to promote MSdos 7.1. Have you ever found a way to get sound on it. I deleted a command called KILL on it. Do you know what that command does because I don't? I love the large file size that it supports. Freedos is limited to 2 gigs and PCdos stops a 8 gigs. cheers DS On Tue, 31 Oct
