Hi! Forwarding some news from our sourceforge page:
https://sourceforge.net/p/freedos/news/2025/10/netmount-client-and-server-version-160/
If you need DOS to access directories on remote computers as a network
drive, you can also try the NetMount program. Jaroslav just released a
new version of the NetMount components (NetMount client v1.6.0, server
v1.6.0, and NInstall v1.0) with several improvements and new features:
NetMount client got a few upgrades - most notably, it now supports
read-ahead buffering (64-byte buffer), which can significantly speed
things up when reading files in small chunks. NetMount server now
supports Unicode-to-ASCII transliteration when converting filenames to
the DOS 8.3 format. There’s also a new DOS utility called NInstall. It
installs (loads) the NetMount DOS TSR client using parameters from a
config file. You can find it at NetMount on GitHub and this release is
at NetMount client 1.6.0, server 1.6.0, ninstall 1.0

VSBHDA is a Virtual Sound Blaster emulator for HDA, so you can emulate
classic SoundBlaster16 audio when running FreeDOS on more modern
hardware. Japheth has released a new version of VSBHDA. Version 1.8 has
several fixes, runs on real hardware and has been tested to work with
VMWare, QEMU, and VirtualBox ( these environments support both HDA and
AC'97, VMWare additionally ES1371 ). They also support SoundBlaster
emulation natively, but Japheth notes this is often of "minor quality."

Japheth has released a new version of HDPMI, part of HX DOS extender.
Version 3.23 has quite a few interesting fixes and features, including:
- fixed int 25h/26h, cx != -1: don't copy (non-existing) diskio struct
to TLB - int 31h, ax=0B00h: support DH=3 (I/O watchpoint) - fixed int
21h, ax=71a7h, bl=0: src must be ds:e/si, but es:e/si was used - switch
?SAVESSESPONINIT now always 1; should fix problems with IRQs handled by
a client while another client is initializing - and other changes. You
can find it at HX DOS extender on GitHub.
