Re: [Freedos-user] how to get 80x25 text settings on Thinkpad 600E?

2010-03-30 Thread Eric Auer

Hi Vitali,

 actually, it is 25 x 80 now - I've tested inside text editor.
 Looks like I forgot how DOS look like, especially on the laptop's screen - 
 letters are quite 
 stretched in vertical direction (could it be EGA text mode: 8x14 pixels 
 640x350,
 but not VGA mode: 9×16 pixels 720×400 ?)

You can use mode con lines=8 or mode con lines=14 or
mode con lines=16 with freedos mode to select one of
the default fonts (8x8, 8x14 or 8x16). Depending on the
system, the default can also be 9x... instead of 8x...

Eric :-)

PS: You can also say mode con lines=50 cols=132 etc etc.

Re: [Freedos-user] cd burning?

2010-03-30 Thread Eric Auer

Hi Blair, Karen,

is the doscdroast suite still around? It was easier to use
than all those command line things like mkisofs and cdrecord.

Eric :-)

PS: It also came with a number of 3rd party drivers afair.

 ...or DVD either for that matter?
 I have come across a few for creating iso images, even backups, but am
 wondering if others have ideas.  Hearts desire would let me create real
 audio cds for play in a stand alone player, or at the least cds that will
 play in an mp3 type player.
 thoughts?
 
 There are tools available to burn cds.  Both CDRecord and CDRKit are
 available for DOS and work as long as a driver called aspi.sys is
 installed.  First you must create an ISO image, and then you can use a
 program like cdrecord to burn it.  The same suite also includes a tool
 to burn audio cds I believe

Hi Eric,
Yesdoscdroast is  still around, but it too is command line.  I prefer 
command line actually works better from a speech standpoint since one does 
not use a mouse with a screen reader.
The guy who puts together doscdroast could not confirm how audio cds are 
burned which is why I decided to hunt.
BTW, can you or should you load the driver  Blair mentioned via ocnfig.sys 
or autoexec.bat

To use cdrkit or cdrecord, you will need a regular cd/dvd driver such
as uide, and after that is loaded you will also need to load aspi.sys
(http://www.wolfgang-brinkmann.de/bcdw/aspi.sys).  From there cdrecord
or cdrkit should recognize the drive; you can run for example
[cdrecord|wodim] -scanbus to see if it is recognized.  I'm not sure
where you can find the most recent dos port of cdrecord, but you can
find cdrkit on my website
(http://sites.google.com/site/blairdude/cdrkit).  You should be able
to burn CDs or DVDs with this software, but remember that there are
still no UDF drivers available for DOS, so once you have burned a DVD,
you might not be able to read it under DOS.
