I contacted them because I saw they were working on the board, and asked them about using it for a hobby system. I was interested in buying just one - but I am sure they have customers who buy these in the hundreds or thousands for embedded systems like display boards, machine control, manufacturing, or whatever. But it runs FreeDOS (he said they are using that for development) so there's that. :-) ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

Which is really what it would be for me. I don't think I've seen a PC/104 for less than $140. Ideally, it would need to be $99 or less before I'd be ready to buy one. But I'm always on the lookout for an inexpensive Intel-based hobby system that would run FreeDOS. I spoke with an embedded systems company a month or two ago, and they are in development of an Intel embedded board with a BIOS and VGA that will probably be around $100. I'd buy that if they finally make it to market. ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

I've just dropped a comment to that note under the vid. Such an outrage :-D And such a very nice project. Other than that, the PC-104 feature seems to be somewhat expensive on the embedded motherboards. Especially the ICOP tiny modules are significantly cheaper. No SB Audio though. If you need SB-compatible audio = ISA, perhaps PC-104 is not really so very expensive, compared to the PICMG ISA option, where you need an ISA backplane, and a big chassis etc...

Re: [Freedos-user] A different approach to get long file name in dosemu
e.g. unix ls /mnt/win_c/dosna~xx.ext result I do something to dosna~xx.ext that the result is a /mnt/win_d/longfilename.ext As I try to turn the idea into a program, I have some hurdles to overcome such as lower / upper case mixed, duplicated and embedded with white spaces. It seems a dos filename in dosemu can't be converted successful without errors and the conversion may not be one to one. I want to suppress the error messages by appending 2/dev/null to the unix ls command string above but is not working. I hope I expressed my problem clear and you guys can help. Remember that the command you gave above is being executed in DOS, so the result output file is redirected output from FreeCOM. It's not redirected from bash or any UNIX shell. The 2 syntax to redirect stderr is not supported under DOS. I thought we had a program that would let you redirect stderr to a file when running another program, but I cannot find it right now. -jh - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
