Re: [Freedos-user] (no subject) - ems support - updated drivers!

Hi Leo, when you have a standard install of FreeDOS, it will automatically include jemm386 or jemmex, which will have a readme in the \freedos\doc\jemm386\ directory or maybe in your case \fdos\doc\jemm386\ directory. The newest version is from 2020 and probably not yet part of the default

You can use JEMMEX to provide EMS. Command docs are here (https://web.archive.org/web/20200205000957/http://help.fdos.org/en/hhstndrd/base/jemmex.htm). You need a line like ``` DEVICE=C:\FDOS\BIN\JEMM386.EXE RAM ``` in your fdconfig.sys. See

I remember using IBM's Tiny Editor, 16-bit for DOS and OS/2, in DR-DOS 7.03, not open source. Tiny Editor was useful on IBM OS/2 installation floppies because of tiny size, could edit up to about 350 KB file or a little larger, more in OS/2 1.x. Using elvis 2.2, I was able to view and edit

Re: [Freedos-user] (no subject)

You could try using a SATA to IDE adapter in your other machine. That would probably provide the low-level access to the partition table the software needs. Do you know why the old IDE machine is non-functional? If you have the time to troubleshoot the problem it might be something cheap and easy

Do you have a floppy drive? If you do then make a dos bootable floppy. Find wipe on the web and download it. Run wipe to clean the drive of everything. Your floppy should also have fdisk format on it. After wipe is finished type fdisk/mbr. This should give you a fresh MBR. Then use fdisk to

Re: [Freedos-user] (no subject)

Since MS has stopped supporting XP, you probably won't be able to get it activated, anymore. Nothing wrong with fat32 unless you're really thinking BIG.. DS On Thu, 15 May 2014 11:30:22 -0400 dmccunney dennis.mccun...@gmail.com writes: On Thu, May 15, 2014 at 11:17 AM, Dale E Sterner
