But you can install e.g.OpenGEM, SEAL or Desktop2 on it, and then the it will look,of course, like OpenGEM, SEAL or Desktop2. All those need DOSas the operating system under the hood, and FreeDOS is a DOS.I made a quick screenshot anyway:http://www.coli.uni-sb.de/~eric/freedos-boot.pngWhat you see on this image is various messages from drivers, tellingyou that they loaded okay at boot time,a prompt whether I want some "lredir" driver to run, and finallythe classic "C:\" prompt which tells me that I can now type commands.If it feels familiar, fine. If not, then you will probably want toenter just a single command: Start the graphical user interface of yourchoice and stay in there, so you do not have to see the text screen...The screen shot was taken inside DOSEMU, which is a virtual PC (runningin a window in Linux in this case) in which I have installed FreeDOS.Without that, FreeDOS would just run full screen, not in a window. I am new to programming but very interested in giving it a shot...You do not have to do "programming" to use DOS. But unless you use a GUI,everything in DOS is controlled by the keyboard, not the mouse. but a little timid about disabling my laptop.If you install FreeDOS from CD-ROM, it should automatically create aboot menu which allows you to select between Win95 and FreeDOS eachtime when you start the laptop (I assume that your Win95 is still workingokay, otherwise there would of course be no Win95 menu entry needed). How do I find the necessary drivers?You do not need drivers for keyboard and display, and the default mousedriver of FreeDOS works with many common mou se types. You do not needdrivers for harddisk or diskette either. For everything else, you wouldhave to tell us what hardware exactly you have, then we can tell youwhich drivers we can recommend. Some people just snag the files off another old computer and copy them over, because it works. However, it robs the shareholders of Microsoft Corporation by depriving an ebay vendor of a $10 sale, and that's why it is illegal. FreeDos is legal, isn't it?FreeDOS is completely free and legal, written by volunteers all overthe world. Even some of the GUIs are completely free and legal, whileothers are not free. The above should tell you that many people do notgive a damn about copying MS Windows or MS Office from their neighbours,but it is certainly illegal. There are various legal alternatives:Use OpenOffice.org, which is free and legal, pay 100s of bucks for aleg al copy of MS Office, or buy it bundled with a new PC, in which caseit costs only a fraction of the normal price. Exactly the same happensfor Windows: As an alternative, you can use Linux, BeOS Zeta, FreeBSD orany other free operating system (including FreeDOS), but you can alsobuy it for quite some money, or buy it bundled with a new PC or at least"piece of hardware". The bundled price for WinXP Home is around 100 Eurosas far as I remember.In either case, WinXP and MS Office are far too "heavy" for your veryold laptop. So you can only use it with Win95 or at most Win98se. InGermany, it is legal to sell 2nd hand copies of any Windows version,as long as you REALLY sell it (give everything to the one who buys it,and delete everything on your own PC: You must MOVE it to the new owner,not COPY it...), but in other countries, it can happen that a Windowslicense is glued to a human being or PC forever, even if the PC fallsapart i nto a pile of rusty dust. Anyway. You can buy 2nd hand copies ofWin95 for 20something and of Win98se for 40something $$. You wrote thatyour laptop already has Win95 installed anyway. If you have a legal copy,e.g. have the license certificate around, then you can probably ask MS tosend you a new CD-ROM if you have lost the original one. And, at least mypersonal feeling tells me this, nobody would complain if you use the CD-ROM of Win95 of somebody else to install drivers on the Win95 which youalready legally own, even if you no longer have the original CD-ROM.I hope that answers some of your questions.Eric.PS: Please do make sure that you configure
Re: [Freedos-user] Question: How to use CMedia CM8738 sound in DOS?
CMI chips suck balls. That said, C-Media has a decent dos driver with the new software versions they had, so... that might fix it, it might not. It requires a bit of info about your board... - Original Message - From: Eric Auer [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Wednesday, March 02, 2005 15:42 Subject: [Freedos-user] Question: How to use CMedia CM8738 sound in DOS? Hi, I am trying to make CMedia CM8738 onboard sound work in DOS. The drivers (downloaded them) just find the PCI device, read the IRQ and port base, check if PCI config register 4 and 5 equals 5 (if busmaster is on), does a bit of i/o (base+4 = word e, base+18 = 3, base+16 = base+16 or 10, base+21 = 5, base+27 = 1, 224 = 80, 225 = VALUE, 224 = 81, 225 = 22) and hooks the PCI IRQ with a redirector to the selected NORMAL IRQ (e.g. PCI sound chip triggers IRQ 12, and the TSR simulates IRQ 5 when that happens). The base is found in PCI config reg 10 (low byte of word ignored), the IRQ is in PCI config reg 3c. The device is found by scanning the PCI bus for a device by vendor 13f6 (CMedia, I assume) or 10b9 (in THAT case, the device ID is also checked to be in 100-200 range. However, in my case, the ID is 13f6:0111). Whatever. Everything nice and techy. The more clever DOS programs even work with selecting IRQ 12 directly without the TSR in RAM. But only Adlib and mixer REALLY work. When I try doing 8bit sound, I get silence, and for 16bit sound, using DMA 1 for both high and low DMA channel (hardcoded to the setaudio CMedia tool, it seems), I get noise. Very annoying. Am I doing something stupid here or is it just a KNOWN problem that C-Media sound chips have crappy DMA and therefore can only be used for boring Adlib sound in DOS? I think I have read of other people with C-Media on this list before, so maybe somebody can help me out here. Thanks!

Re: [Freedos-user] What is OS ?
OS stands for operating system. In simple terms this is the main program the computer runs. As far as any computer's concerned, when it's doing anything, that's the operating system. An operating system could be any program. If you wrote an embedded computer program to manage a thermostat for your home, that's an operating system. It's what runs on the CPU. With a regular OS, time is NOT as important. It can take three seconds to return a value from an extremely complicated function. Five seconds to go to the USB port and obtain data from an external device. Real-Time OS's have a far more constrained view. Time is of the essence. A real time OS is commonly an embedded operating system, such as the above mentioned thermostat. When you push the button on the box, you want to see the current temperature in the room NOW. Not in 3 seconds. Not after the loading icon has flashed a few times. Now. Everything is based on time, because when the program that determines that the radiation level in the research facility's nuclear reactor has gone above the value expected, it must respond immediately. When your tires lock up in your Anti-Lock Brake system, your computer in your car (yes, there is a car in the computer) needs to react immediately. For more information on real time operating systems, I recommend: http://linuxdevices.com/articles/AT4627965573.html And other articles on the linuxdevices website.

He is using a K6-2 based system, Looks like an incompatibility between the used ISOLINUX MEMDISK version and the BIOS? I wonder if it helps to boot the system through Smart Boot Manager from a floppy instead of using the BIOS boot from CD-ROM mode. Explanation: MEMDISK hooks int 13 and int 15 by allocating a bit of low memory through the 40:[13] value (usually 640k minus something for things like BIOS EBDA, EzDrive/OnTrack/viruses/...: MEMDISK uses 2k) and a chunk of int 15 memory. Then it simulates a disk drive which is initialized from a file (disk image) which is loaded into the int 15 memory. I cannot see interesting things in the invalid opcode dump, but maybe the partition information (hd/pri/chs/start/size...) displayed by the FreeDOS kernel is interesting as well? The int13/int15 display should show BEFORE the FreeDOS kernel loads as far as I know. Does it work to boot other bootable CD-ROMs (e.g. small Linux rescue systems)? Which ISOLINUX versions are used? I do not have the URL for Smart Boot Manager around, but I think there is a bootable floppy download in the FreeDOS beta 9 ... download area which contains SBM and is already prepared to cooperate with the CD-ROM.

Re: [Freedos-user] driver ac97 under dos?
First, look into the driver CD that the motherboard manufacturer gave you.

Probably device listing, or if you're using W98 you have the device manager. You need to know the manufacturer of the AC97 soundchip. Go to the manufacturer's website, see if htey provide a DOS driver, many do. If not, go online and google for it, a lot of people HAVE cobbled together their own dos drivers for their sound cards (it's not completely unheard of).

Re: [Freedos-user] asus a7n8x deluxe soundstorm sound card help
Okay this one I can help you with. Unfortunately, nVidia's new SoundStorm system on their nForce2 Motherboards, while being the most kickass thing I've ever worked with, does not seem to provide any form of DOS drivers. What's worse, because it's part of the chipset it requires the unified driver they provide, which only supports Windows 98SE or better. I'm sorry. What you can //try// to do is use the PCI program (located at: http://members.datafast.net.au/dft0802 ) which will give you detailed information regarding your PCI devices. From there you can find the IRQ and if you're extremely lucky maybe some info which'll help you chose a DMA, and possibly even the memory addresses, for building the set blaster= command. Unfortunately the odds of success at this task are less than optimistic. However, this is what advice I can give. Please, in the future, post in text mode, as this is read by some of us without MS email programs and we like COMPLIANT emails. - Original Message - From: togermano.com To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 02, 2004 7:32 PM Subject: [Freedos-user] asus a7n8x deluxe soundstorm sound card help I have an Asus a7n8x deluxe motherboard and was wondering how i would get sound working.
