Re: [Freedos-user] Keyboard problem with some machines
Thank you for your answers i have test your SCANTEST program, F12 touch work! but no in my DOS program... my computers with this problem, i have tested to plug a external usb keyboard, and i have same problem.. [fuc**ng BIOS!] there are no a solution ? :( -- WatchGuard Dimension instantly turns raw network data into actionable security intelligence.

Re: [Freedos-user] Keyboard problem with some machines
Since the computer works with SCANTEST, it means it's not a hardware problem, so a software driver could potentially fix it. You haven't said what program this is for, and that could possibly be useful to know. You can try the KEYB driver from the FreeDOS site (look in the BASE section), which might help. However, it's not actually a complete keyboard driver, but simply extends the functionality of the BIOS, so it may or may not help your particular situation. You'll just need to try it and see. If it doesn't work, you can also try the Microsoft KEYB program from one of the various MS-DOS versions (including Win9x and WinMe). The MS keyboard driver completely replaces the computer's keyboard BIOS, and can often be used to fix compatibility issues like this. -- WatchGuard Dimension instantly turns raw network data into actionable security intelligence.

Hi, sorry for slow reply, On Fri, Jan 24, 2014 at 1:25 AM, Anton D. Kachalov mo...@yandex-team.ru wrote: Got it :) Just read NOEMS in the wrong way. Anyway, I had problems with HIMEMX and other XMM. Will try the latest one from SVN and older FD kernels. I just need XMM to get RDISK works with at least 34MB RAM-disk. Besides, HIMEMX, you could also use XMGR (which I use these days) or presumably even FDXMS. http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/xms/ I didn't find GS386, but found WDOSX. What could you say about it? WDOSX isn't bad but doesn't play well with CWSDPMI and has other minor issues. Overall it works okay, but no extender is perfect (that's why we have so many!). I think Causeway is probably a safer bet. I see. D3X seems to be dead after 2004 and there is WDOSX. D3X seems to somewhat play nicer than WDOSX, but yeah, the author is AWOL (plus it's non-commercial only, which is not free/libre, even with sources). I'm not really sure how to contact him, I'd like him to change the license so that it can be widely mirrored. He also did the DJELF hack, which is mirrored by DJ, but nobody bothers to use that. So maybe it's a lost cause anyways. :-/ The reason why I've choosen DOS32/A that I hasn't a big choice: DOS/4G, Causeway(?), PMODE/W and DOS32/A. How to proper integrate WDOSX into OW? Is it only a post-install stub-it? Well, I'm sure you can make it where you can do it automatically by extracting the Watcom/LE stub and putting something in your *.LNK scripts. But yeah, it's just easier (to me) to just use STUBIT xyz.exe manually later. BTW, I've tried to build D3XW stub with linux NASM and link it by WCL386: wcl386 -ldos -fe=d3xw.exe d3xw.obj And get D3X: error 0x8: unable to spawn image. Looks like it is unable to read it's own header. Got the same error for UPXed binary and just linked one (e.g curl.exe and lspci.exe). Got source here: http://rugxulo.googlepages.com/d3x-090h.zip Don't know, haven't rebuilt it lately, maybe only once. I just use the stock build. It might be some minor bug, dunno, probably safer to use something else. -- WatchGuard Dimension instantly turns raw network data into actionable security intelligence.

This patch for DOS32/A to avoid some annoying messages from DOS32/A during startup. I'm too lazy to recompile DOS32/A from sources :) It's been a while since I've actively used DOS32A (on purpose, anyways), but I think its configuration tool (SS.EXE ??) allows you to turn off some of the (copyright?) messages. I don't think there was any environment variable setting (a la DOS4G=quiet) though. Plan to update FlashROM sources to the latest one and possible CURL too if it will be compiled within OW. DOS/32A (9.1.2) itself compiled with OW? Dunno, don't remember ever trying. I vaguely thought it was written in TASM. Somewhere around 1.8 or 1.9, one guy added -zcm=tasm to WASM, but I don't think it's 100% complete, so it may not work perfectly for you. There's also an unmaintained freeware only clone called LZASM (TASM Ideal only) out there in the wild, if you want to search for it (both DOS [WDOSX!] and Win32 versions). Here, lemme find it: http://www.phatcode.net/downloads.php?id=308 I don't think real TASM is freeware. Though back in 2007 or so, their freeware Turbo C++ bundle for Windows had oldie 5.3 [2000? MMX only?] in there (but with no 32RTM / DPMI32*.OVL, though it could run with WDOSX or HX). I think they still somewhat maintain it, hence 5.4 or such allegedly exists, but I dunno beyond that. (That TC++ needed some .NET stuff, but it never installed properly for me on Vista, and that old laptop later hosed itself.) Newer Embarcadero compilers (BCC64 ?) use a heavily-modified Clang, dunno what assembler (if any) is supported. -- WatchGuard Dimension instantly turns raw network data into actionable security intelligence.
