It works fine but it is incredible slow compared to a normal DOS machine with the same CPU. Under DOS it takes 10 minutes, under dosemu about 80 minutes. I start dosemu with my existing MS-DOS partition, I use pdether and netx to connect to Novell. Why is it that slow? It is also unreliable.... from time to time it hangs and I have to kill it and start again :( Any ideas?

It will need access to direct memory and an interrupt.

No promisses, I don't even know this card, but it _may_ work: in /etc/dosemu/conf: $_irqpassing = "10" $_hardware_ram = "range 0xd0000 0xd3fff" would pass IRQ10 to dosemu and opens a hardware door to share ram locations D000:0 to D3FF:0 (if that is what your driver needs). You also may need to give port access (fast one) to the ports your card need: $_ports = "fast range 0x280 0x28f" Note that the above is an example for a DOS driver running a WD8013 ethernet card, you should adapt it to your needs, and if you give wrong values, you may lock your machine.

The other potential problem is that if it needs DMA access then it will almost certainly NOT work. The DMA in DOSEMU is emulated entirely within the DOSEMU process.

Another thing which I've noticed is that LREDIR often leaves the drive letter defined even if it failed, which guarantees taht it will fail for sure on the second try even if I get it right that time. Whenever I invoke LREDIR incorrectly, I've always found it best to LREDIR DEL the drive letter before trying again. - -- Dave Mielke | 856 Grenon Avenue | I believe that the Bible is the Phone: 1-613-726-0014 | Ottawa, Ontario | Word of God.

I can tell from the error messages that it uses the allegro library. Then I downloaded the dos version of MAME, another emulator. (yes there is a x-version but I am building an arcade cabinet and will be using a dos computer so I want to make sure it works but my only access to a dos machine right now is via dosemu) anyway MAME crashes as soon as it asks me for the sound driver to use and I tell it no sound. If I tell it to use my soundblaster it just says sound initialization failed and exits. MAME also uses the allegro library. Is there some general problem with dosemu and allegro apps? Has anybody successfully ran these programs? Maybe I don't have my mouse and sound card setup right? (mouse problems don't crash other programs though, and I can set my sound card up without crashing raine.)

I have dosemu-0.98.5 installed, read the README files, installed the OS2WIN31 files. In dosemu.conf, I boosted the DPMI to 8192, the XMS to 61000, and included "dos=high,umb" in the CONFIG.SYS file. I also tried the Trident drivers and my regular DOS mouse drivers..still nothing. My DOSEMU is booting to PCDOS 7.0 on my D: drive Here is what happens: With either WIN /S or WINOS2 /S, the hard drive loads system files for about 30 secs and then returns me to the C: prompt. With WIN/3 or WINOS2 /3, I get the C: prompt immediately. BTW WIN 3.0 runs fine under DOSEMU, but none of the apps that I need will run under 3.0...so that is not much help.

Can someone help me how to set up properly dosemu on a machine that has NT 4.0SP3+MSDOS? Now we installed Linux on it and we would like to run some DOS based programs. It has a DOS partition of course, and it has io.sys, msdos.sys and command.com. But setup-hdimage complains about that it cannot determine the type of DOS and asks for the equivalences of io.sys and msdos.sys. I gave io.sys, msdos.sys and command.com to setup-hdimage but on dosemu boot io.sys or msdos.sys gave a "Missing NTLDR" message. I copied everything into /var/lib/dosemu/hdimage.first using mtools that seemed relevant: ntldr, boot.ini, bootsect.dos and customized config.emu and autoexec.emu. But dosemu quits so quickly on boot that I can't see any messages. I tried to install MSDOS 6.2 into hdimage.first and copied the C:\DOS tree from a DOS machine into the C:\DOS62 directory on the NT machine and I set comspec=c:\dos62\command.com in my autoexec.emu. I have the DOS and NT partitions mounted under /mnt/dos and /mnt/nt and I lredir these directories under dosemu to c: and d:. I experience that despite the comspec setting DOS tries to load c:\command.com after some programs' exit and I get "Cannot load COMMAND.COM, system halted." I do not get it if I run some "correctly behaving" programs, like Dos Navigator (an ukrainian Norton Commander clone), MSD, etc. But I get this if I run a program from the Well Data System. This is an old oil industry DOS based data processing software which we still use and would like to use in the future as well. And I have another question: when will I able to use 16 color modes in dosemu under X? Some 16 color programs does not display correctly.

I have to correct this. Some programs from the above mentioned WDS uses third party (GSS*CGI) graphic and plotting drivers. I tried one program that uses graphics and I get: ****************************************************************** Loading GSS Transient graphics drivers...

Seems so, because this code sniplet is from a glibc2 user who obviously has such a time.h. Your questions implies you expects all glibc2 versions equal, but this isn't the case. You will see tons of different versions out there and speaking of a 'standard' is the wrong word with respect to glibc :-) Maybe it will at some unknown time in the future, but currently its not. Until that day will come we try #ifdef'ing around and make the best of it. BTW: compile checking for different system combinations is only done for the stable releases. The 'odd' versioned Development releases are only compile checked on my system here, which happens to be libc5.
