Hi Paul,
> I don't know if this is really a protection mechanism. It is not, because it is easy to copy today, but somehow some games may (please test!) may think it would be useful as part of a protection mechanism. Because designing a protection like that is too nonsensical, Jack will not add UPC support, so we would have to do that ourselves IF it turns out to actually improve game compatibility. Please explain your VirtualBox problems. You say in ONE out of THREE attempts, fdimples did not find the CD? Or maybe it works after a warm reboot and just fails after a cold boot? > BAD Controller at I-O address D000h, chip I.D. 808667111h Indeed odd that there is one digit too much, but > Other have reported a relatively similar message on QEMU: > > BAD Controller at I-O address C040h, Chip I.D. 80867010h. > > from: https://sourceforge.net/p/freedos/mailman/message/36465212/ Note that QEMU uses a different simulated controller. In both cases, you may have a choice between more than one possible controller in the configuration, so maybe some of them do work with UHDD? > https://www.grc.com/dev/sr6/UDMA_Drivers/README.TXT As you can see in the directory listing, this is about an extremely outdated version of the driver, circa 2012: https://www.grc.com/dev/sr6/UDMA_Drivers/ Use your local copy in DOS or update the drivers using http://mercurycoding.com/downloads.html#DOS Regards, Eric _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
