With some DOS screen readers, that speaker is used for indications. With some laptops, it can even be used for the speech output itself. Karen Hi Karen, According to my ancient volume of Norton (Programmer's Guide to the IBM PC) there is no volume control on the PC speaker itself, which is as I recall. What can be done is to replace the speaker with a more efficient sound generator like a piezo buzzer. You can then install a potentiometer in series on the input and adjust it that way. We have had to do that with a lab machine where we replaced the speaker with headphones as of course the sound is much louder in the headphones.

Re: [Freedos-user] Determining partition types (NTFS, etc)
PS: for what I know vfat in Linux is just the name of FAT32 ;) Then Linux is not correct, because VFAT is just an extension to FAT12 / FAT16 / FAT32 to allow long filenames: Ok, but most people should be aware that in the Linux literature (most google tutorials) the tem vfat is used liberaly. I've only ever heard it used to mean *all* file systems using the VFAT extension, i.e. FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32 file systems with long names. They probably call this the VFAT file system to distinguish it from their original FAT file system implementation which didn't support long names and the new file times. (BTW, the V stands for Virtual which at most fits into Microsoft's strange behaviour of calling everything related to Win386 virtual, and doesn't relate to what a VFAT file system is in any way. They probably only named their VxD VFAT, and with this implementation being the first one to support the new features, someone just called these features VFAT.)

In Linux, FAT12, FAT16 FAT16B can be mounted MSDOS instead of VFAT to restrict active usage to 8.3 filenames. MSDOS is how I always mount these partitions on Linux systems with no Windows co-installed. -- Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.
