Re: [Freedos-user] PCNTPK driver stopped working in VirtualBox 6.0

[stecdose]

It is definitely worth a try to look at all changelogs after your 
working version of virtualbox until 6.0.


Maybe they changed something related to your networking configuration. 
Once you've found something there or not, you could go also asking on 
vbox list/forums. I assume there is more knowledge related to this issue.


@rugxulo

Does a PCNet III work with the NE2000 drivers? I didn't know if so and 
always used qemu, thinking I miss a NE2000 in VirtualBox. Nice if it 
would work...

I tried loading a newer version of the driver, 3.10, instead of the 2.20
that came with FDOS. No difference.

Where did you find that one? And does it have (libre) sources? Sadly,
we're very poor regarding number of available (working) packet
drivers.


Anybody seen this also? Any fixes? Thanks.

Try using the NE2000 packet driver instead. That one at least (also)
worked in older QEMU versions. But I would still strongly hope that
VBox would eventually fix their "bug".

I will give that a try, thank you. I'm just confused as it was working
so well just yesterday.

[Freedos-user] USB Issue

[Coyote Slinger]

Hello everyone.

I recently reinstalled FreeDOS on my CF-18 after my tinkering broke my
old install. I had no issues with USB on that. However on my most
recent install, using a USB stick seems to freeze and the system. I
have tried all four boot options to the same result.

I have a USB 2.0 drive that is formatted to FAT16 and 256MB. It mounts to D:\

After running any command accessing D:\ such as dir or move, the
computer freezes and does not redisplay the D:\ or C:\ prompt.
Ctrl+Alt+Del is needed to reboot the computer, all other key presses
result in the beep command tone. On reboot, copy and move commands,
have just created the basic file label, with 0 bytes as size.

Help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

[Freedos-user] Free DOS vs Windows basic comparison for newbie

[gintakao]

Hello world,You may be familiar with the Window operating system that most
users in the world are using. Or maybe you already know through MAC - the
operating system created by Apple, or Ubutu, Linux, ... the operating system
favored by programmers. In this article, we will introduce an operating
system name that you are used by not many people, however, there might be
some interesting things about this OS.
What is FreeDOS
The DOS operating system, called Disk Operation System, is an open source
operating system, installed in many IBM computers and be the most popular OS
during 1981 to 1995. Fun fact, the number of people using IBM computers plus
DOS at that time was extremely high.Many versions of DOS were released by
various companies, the most popular is MS-DOS, also by Microsoft. Related
systems include MS-DOS, PC-DOS, DR-DOS, FreeDOS, PTS-DOS, ROM-DOS, Novell
DOS, OpenDOS and 86-DOS. 86-DOS or QDOS operating systems were acquired by
Microsoft for IBM computers.Windows vs FreeDOS comparisonWindows is a series
of graphical interface operating systems developed and distributed by
Microsoft. Early versions of Microsoft Windows ran on a separate version of
DOS and it stopped being used since Windows 95 was launched as a standalone
operating system without requiring a separate DOS license.With Windows 95
and 98, the MS-DOS component can run without booting Windows. When DOS was
no longer needed to run the system, people stopped using it on a personal
computer. The operating system is obsolete and is rarely used in the real
world. Essentially, DOS and Windows are greatly different from each other,
although Windows is thought to have originated from DOS.DOS and Windows are
different in GUI (graphical user interface), where DOS uses full text
command input, Windows uses images, icons and text in their interface. Full
text entry commands in DOS require users to enter commands and work on the
computer using text code; making it difficult for first-time users or those
with little knowledge of technology. Windows simplifies the graphical user
interface, using icons, images and text; eliminating the need to remember
the codes and actions that come with the codes.DOS also provides less
storage space than Windows. The highest storage capacity that DOS offers is
about 2 gigabytes, while the latest Windows provides terabyte storage space.
Windows may also contain many larger hard drives, while DOS cannot because
of depending on the FAT16 file system.DOS and Windows also differ in
registry systems and exchange files. While DOS uses a directory system,
where all files are contained in a specific directory or sub-directory,
Windows will use a complex registry system to remove files from the system.
It is very difficult and too many files can cause the system to slow down or
crash.Due to the decline in use of DOS, most versions of DOS currently
available are free on the market. It is also easy to use and does not
require many gigabytes of memory to work compared to Windows. DOS has become
ideal for prototyping, testing, and creating automated systems that only
check if something is wrong. Due to its simplicity in use and lack of flashy
GUI, running the system is much cheaper.
