Re: [Freedos-user] How to set up fdconfig.sys and autoexec files for a driver?

2019-07-18 Thread HTV04 . 
I already watched the video. It just mentioned what I found on the website.

Why doesn’t the Phoenix BIOS have PCI configuration options? The computer
originally came with Windows 98 SE, so the BIOS should have some options
for PnP. This BIOS seems to lack a lot of functions a normal BIOS should
have, and I have no way of updating it.

Is it possible to replace the BIOS? I think SeaBIOS would be a good
alternative. If not, is there any way I can access PCI options of any kind
on the Phoenix BIOS? This is really irritating.

I searched on Vogons, but I couldn’t find anything on what my problem is,
even when searching about my BIOS. I really don’t know what to do here.

[Freedos-user] VirtualBox shared folders (was: Re: why isn't anyone answering my question?)

Hi,

Sorry for delay in responding. I'm very easily distracted these days.

Well, VirtualBox "shared folders" does not support DOS guests. They
either don't know how or don't consider it a high priority (too
niche?). Most of their focus is on other, bigger OSes (by far). Just
FYI.

"With the shared folders feature of Oracle VM VirtualBox, you can
access files of your host system from within the guest system. Shared
folders are supported with Windows 2000 or later, Linux, and Oracle
Solaris guests. Oracle VM VirtualBox release 6.0 includes experimental
support for Mac OS X and OS/2 guests."
* https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html

I halfway answered this a year ago in the following thread ("Freeware
hard-disk (and floppy) image editor(s)?"):

* 
https://sourceforge.net/p/freedos/mailman/freedos-user/?viewmonth=201807=22

If you're trying to copy or "insert" files inside the guest VM (DOS)
from your host OS (Linux), you will have to try various methods,
depending on how you want to do things. (Note that I'm not an expert
and haven't bothered with some of these, e.g. FTPSRV.)

1). mTCP's FTPSRV
* http://www.brutman.com/mTCP/mTCP_FTPSrv.html

2). GNU Mtools (may depend on virtual hard disk format being "raw",
use qemu-img or whatever the VBox alternative is)
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mtools

3). libguestfs-tools (Linux)

(Windows, e.g. 7, can mount .VHD as a drive in Explorer, which is convenient)
"sudo apt-get install libguestfs-tools"

* https://www.lazybrowndog.net/freedos/virtualbox/?page_id=495
* http://wiki.freedos.org/wiki/index.php/VirtualBox_-_Chapter_6
* http://libguestfs.org/

Or, if you only just want to "extract" files from the guest to the
host, you can probably use 7-Zip's "7z", from p7zip, since it supports
.VHD, .VDI, .VMDK, etc.

I believe the best tip can be given by someone who has ESS SOLO-1. When you
google for "ESS SOLO-1" you'll see several links - I recommend the ones from
"vogons.org". This is gamers' site, and there are guys who already fought
such ESS SOLO-1 cards - so probably they have solution ready for application

2019-07-18 Thread HTV04 . 
I checked pcisleep on my computer and I saw that the ESS SOLO-1 was on port
10. How do I “kick” the SOLO-1 to a different port? I have a most likely
outdated Phoenix BIOS, and I saw nothing about PCI configuration, only I/O
configuration.

Many mailing systems now ignore mails you send to a mailing list so you 
never see them without diving into the archives
