I believe Coyote is referring to a Panasonic Toughbook CF-18 ( http://www.tabletpcreview.com/tabletreview/panasonic-cf-18-toughbook-tablet-pc-review-pics-specs/ ).

Pentium M 1.10GHz 512MB RAM Phoenix BIOS I will give that a try, thank you. I'm just confused as it was working so well just yesterday.

[Freedos-user] USB Issue
Hello everyone. I recently reinstalled FreeDOS on my CF-18 after my tinkering broke my old install. I had no issues with USB on that. However on my most recent install, using a USB stick seems to freeze and the system. I have tried all four boot options to the same result. I have a USB 2.0 drive that is formatted to FAT16 and 256MB. It mounts to D:\ After running any command accessing D:\ such as dir or move, the computer freezes and does not redisplay the D:\ or C:\ prompt. Ctrl+Alt+Del is needed to reboot the computer, all other key presses result in the beep command tone. On reboot, copy and move commands, have just created the basic file label, with 0 bytes as size. Help would be greatly appreciated, thank you. ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
