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

2018-12-29 Thread Louis Santillan
There may be subtle difference in what the DOS packet driver is expecting
and what VirtualBox supports now (
https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch07.html#nichardware).  Maybe try
NICSCAN (http://www.georgpotthast.de/sioux/packet.htm) or PCINIC in
pktdrv.zip (http://www.classiccmp.org/dunfield/dos/index.htm).

Re: [Freedos-user] USB Issue

I believe Coyote is referring to a Panasonic Toughbook CF-18 (

).

Re: [Freedos-user] aefdisk/masterbooter open sourced

2018-12-29 Thread TK Chia

Hello Geraldo,


First of all, hope you all had a great christmas time!

This is interesting.
It seems the aefdisk sources are using some strange syntax extensions
which I have not seen before --- perhaps these are supported by certain
versions of tasm?

Dunno :(
But I opened a ticket for Nagy Daniel
(https://github.com/nagydjol/aefdisk/issues/1)
Asking his tasm/borland c compiler
Maybe we could integrate it on freedos repository or even deprecate
our fdisk in favor of aefdisk in future


Thank you!  I am also curious to know which version(s) of tasm can be 
used to build the program.


I have meanwhile also made a first-cut attempt 
(https://github.com/tkchia/aefdisk) to "downgrade" the assembler syntax 
used, so that the program can be built using other DOS assemblers. 
However, I still need a way to verify that I have done the syntax 
conversion correctly.


Thank you!
