[Freedos-user] New FreeDOSers Monthly Reminder
MONTHLY REMINDER FOR THE FREEDOS MAILING LISTS Hi! If you are new to the FreeDOS mailing lists, welcome! If you have been a list member for some time, then you can skip this as you should be familiar with the rules by now. --- The FreeDOS Project aims to create a free, complete implementation of MS-DOS. DOS is still a popular system, and plenty of hardware out there supports DOS. For more information about FreeDOS, visit: http://www.freedos.org/ We have only a few rules for posting to the FreeDOS mailing lists: 1. Please don't swear. We don't want this mailing list to become what Usenet turned into. 2. Keep posts on-topic. Remember, we set up this mailing list to discuss FreeDOS issues. 3. No flame wars. If you feel really strongly against what someone has said, send a reply off-list. Some suggestions: ** Please consider sending only plain text email messages, rather than messages formatted in HTML. Plain text makes it easier for everyone to read your posts. Above all, HTML email is particularly difficult for some screen readers. ** For best results, provide a bit of context for your reply. Cite just the bit of conversation you are replying to. At the same time, be careful not to copy the whole conversation if you don't need to. --- Thanks for taking an interest in FreeDOS! /* This is an automated message sent out to the mailing list at the first of each month. It is automagically downloaded from http://freedos.sourceforge.net/freedos/lists/remind.txt Feel free to contact John Price if necessary by replying to this message. */ -- ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
Re: [Freedos-user] Drivers or tips for 3 ISA sound cards?
Have the same problem with a DELL laptop. Tried a few dozen drivers and none worked. They all require Windows be present. Unless you can fool it into thinking Windows is there; I think its hopeless. I gave up. cheers DS On Sat, 30 May 2015 16:29:28 -0400 John Hupp writes: > I have 3 old ISA sound cards that I was trying to get working in an > old > Pentium 150 machine with a default FD 1.1 installation.
