Hi, well, I am planning a PC upgrade. I already realized only a single manufacturer still offers floppy controllers. What a shame. Today I realized old BIOS is gone. And I cannot find much on the backwards compatibily of UEFI. There has to be a "Compatibility Support Module" (CSM) for old operating systems. Where does it come from? Some say, from the OS developer. Which does not make sense, since you won't ever get it from MS for Windows XP, 2000 or any DOS.
How do you deal with UEFI PCs? Does Freedos work with UEFI? ps. No, Freedos is not going to be my main OS, but I want be able to boot from a dos floppy in case of - well - "emergency". pps. Linus torvalds says "I really think our EFI support is just fundamnetally broken." http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1058560/focus%3D1152467 JPT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable. Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes sense of it. IT sense. And common sense. http://p.sf.net/sfu/splunk-d2dcopy2 _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
