I've got no ancient machines anymore, sorry. Started with a 386SX. http://www.picofactory.com/free/software/pc-xt-emulator/ might do the trick, though I'm currently not able to get that working with the 180KB FreeDOS floppy I've got. Perhaps I'm accidentally using a 386+ kernel. The reason I bring this issue up is people might use generic/universal bootdisks (or flashdrives nowadays, hehe), including your program in a batchscript as one of the earliest run programs. @echo off vmsmount if errorlevel 27 goto noshare set drives=A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z for %%x in ( %drives% ) do if errorlevel H%%x set vmshare=%%x: echo Running on 586+ platform inside VMware, Shared Folders: %vmshare% goto end :noshare echo Definately not running under a VMware environment with enabled echo Shared Folders. goto end :end > LOADHIGH should do the trick, I suppose... Hope so, haven't been able to verify yet. Only noticed about 300 bytes or so in UMB while the other 15K stay in low memory. > The drive letter assignment is: > > * If drive letter is specified, use it or fail if it is already in use. > * If no drive letter is specified, use the first available, starting with E: ah that's good to know. No danger of occupying drive C: then. By the way, I'm able to load VMSMOUNT (0.3) twice somehow, by having it loaded at top of autoexec.bat, then other drivers, then running VMSMOUNT again at commandline. > Best, > Eduardo Bernd ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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
