Re: [Freedos-user] Netgear LNE100TX

I originally thought that it might be an irq conflict.  Because irq 11 was
used by multiple devices according to bios.  But I switched the card to
another pci slot and it worked.  So it must have been a bad connection like
you said.  It was still irq 11, but I got a valid address, and DHCP
worked.

Thanks for all the help.

I did the nicscan.  Just to see if it would recognize the card.  I didn't
think to search for the driver based on the result.  I just downloaded the
driver based on a Google search for the card.  I'll nicscan it again and
see it it's different.

[Freedos-user] Netgear LNE100TX

2021-07-26 Thread Richard Hoffman
Hi,

I have been having trouble setting up my ethernet card on my freedos
installation.   I am currently attempting to set up this card with the
LNE100TX.com packet driver.

I run the driver with LNE100TX 0x60  and I get the following

Autonegotiation Not Complete
Packet Driver Interrupt Number 0X60
IO Port 0xDC00
Hardware Interrupt Number 11
Media Type Is 100baseTX Full Duplex
My Ethernet Address Is FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
Packet Driver is loaded at segment 3C2

I have my network wired from my DSL router to an 8 port 10/100 mbps
switch.   From there it goes to my windows 10 pc and my freedos pc.

I have tried about every switch option with the packet driver and I keep
getting the same result.  Is this a hardware problem with the ethernet card
or is it a router issue?

Also could this be an IRQ conflict?

Thanks.

[Freedos-user] BASIC

2020-08-28 Thread Richard Wegner

Hi there,


I would like to some BASIC programming but don't know what to use.  I 
used to program BASIC on the old VAX/VMS, Apple // series, and Atari 8 
bit series but can't find anything now.  I went into C:\DEVEL\BWBASIC 
folder and typed in BWBASIC and it said "This program must be run under 
Win32".  I am also wondering if that is what I am looking for.


Example BASIC program on what I want to do (a simplified one of course)

10 REM 

20 FOR X = 1 TO 5

30 PRINT X; " is the number"

40 NEXT X

50 END

result

1 is the number

2 is the number... etc


Thanks :)

[Freedos-user] Only getting freedos text at boot when creating bootable USB

2012-12-16 Thread Richard H Lee
A few months ago I was using sys-freedos.pl to create bootable USB 
Freedos stick for bios updates. But I tried the same thing today, but 
now it is only showing FREEDOS, with the caret after it. There is no 
command prompt.

I essentially used the steps found here: 
http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/BIOS_Update#FreeDOS_Environment

Which is:
1. zero out a 20mb file or use a physical flash stick.
2. FAT format it.
3. run sys-freedos.pl on it
4. copy over files from a Freedos 1.44mb disk image onto it.

I've tried variations like using version 1.1 or 1.0, partitioning the 
disk image/device and also copying over the bare minimum of kernel.sys 
and command.com instead of the whole floppy. But I get essentially the 
same error in all cases.

I get the same error on all machines. You can even try it out yourself: 
use a zeroed out file instead of a device and load it up in qemu. (I 
also get the same error in qemu.)

Has anyone come across this error before? Am I missing out some steps above?

[Freedos-user] Freedos Speed

2008-06-18 Thread Richard D.




I'm new to Freedos, and tried it with a program
written in Borland Pascal which usually gives a 200 "divide by zero"
error if run on a modern PC. The software seems to run perfectly under
Freedos, and I would like to know whether this is a fluke, or if
Freedos does actually divide down the system clock?

Re: [Freedos-user] Dos extender : Read Old AT interface disk

2008-05-22 Thread Richard Fryer
Hi

My code should xlate to 64bit quite easily.

I assume EAX just goes to 64b from 32b and address's are still 32b,plus the 
clever things done in 
addressing the descriptors to extend address space,which i did'nt support,the 
full 386 addr space 
was humungus.

Need a old 386/486 to read disk think current IDE not the same as AT interface.

can get it read here in sydney but will cost $2500,have geometry, written on 
disk.

[Freedos-user] Icon for cdrom is in GUI,but nothing happens.

2008-01-28 Thread richard klein
A month or so ago, I downloaded the small and large versions of Freedos,made
the ISO files of them, and burned them to cd's; When I used the cd's to install
(the one with the GUI), everything seemed to work OK, except for the cdrom.
  I could click on the harddrive,and on the floppy; but the cdrom icon seemed to
respond, but in fact did nothing, i.e., like an 'empty wrapper'. I cant see why
the setup would have disabled this feature, though I admit I did not have the
savy to dope it out from bat or config files(see? don't even know where it is in
there!) if anyone can figure how to edit something to turn the cdrom on, I sure
would appreciate it; and for that matter, is there a flash drive driver in there

 Because FreeDOS use FDCONFIG.SYS that MSClient fail to modify, try
 manually configure FDCONFIG.SYS to:
 
 DEVICEHIGH=C:\NET\IFSHLP.SYS
 

Thanks Johnson!
That was it.

Just added that line to fdconfig.sys and it all worked.
No other problems.

[Freedos-user] freedos msclient

Hi
 
I am trying to get freedos to join a network to be able to access samba
shares.
I have tried to install msclient but I get the following error on boot:
Error 3658: The IFSHLP.SYS driver is not installed.
 
I have a 3com 3c905c-tx nic. It picks up the driver fine during install.
I have read something about UMB causing problems but haven't seen any
solutions.
 
Anyone know how to get past this error?
 
Thanks
