Re: [Freedos-user] Freedos and weird hardware...
Bear with me Wolf with me :-) Sound cards for example are activated often times by games. I have the PCI version of the soundblaster 16 and it works under freedos, but not without a strange TSR. MPXPLAY now works without this strange TSR (ES1371 and ES1373 chips only, test if you are interested). Can a 32 bit or 64 bit version of freedos solve the driver conflict issue? No. In NT land, in theory, there are well defined APIs/ABIs and no direct hardware control by application programs. well defined means GUI usage API inside drivers (!!!) and many MiB driver size for just 1 chip or a very small family of chips. I've tried the 2039 kernel to no avail, the problem still persists. just wonder if someone has solved this problem already and what was causing Didn't you answer your question just above ? ;-) -- ~~~ wow ~~~ -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

[Freedos-user] Freedos and weird hardware...
Bear with me, I suppose in a dos environment that it is hard to support hardware device XYZ because in dos most hardware is controlled by application programs. Sound cards for example are activated often times by games. I have the PCI version of the soundblaster 16 and it works under freedos, but not without a strange TSR. I think this program is breaking openssh which just hangs when I try to use it. Can a 32 bit or 64 bit version of freedos solve the driver conflict issue? In NT land, in theory, there are well defined APIs/ABIs and no direct hardware control by application programs. I've tried the 2039 kernel to no avail, the problem still persists. Has anyone else had trouble with ssh2dos locking up? I suppose I can go through my fdconfig.sys and fdauto.bat and try to figure out what is causing the lock up, but I just wonder if someone has solved this problem already and what was causing it? -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
