So drivers that already exist for sound cards (I recall DOS drivers for some C-Media cards) they won't load under FreeDOS? IF that is the case, then there is some fixes that need to be made to the device driver code and possibly the MCB (memory control block) chain. -T - Original Message

FDRC is nice and comfortable. But you could go further. Now is the TSR module called by hotkey. What about making a alternate interface through some interrupt? Now FDRC serves to users but if you would make some API let's say on 2Fh DOS multiplex it could serve to programmers also. I would like

[Freedos-devel] File manager

2007-04-07 Thread Ladislav Lacina
I would like to ask: which file manager is preffered for FreeDOS distributions? I think it is very important thing - nobody will use DOS without any NC clone. And it is stupid to not have such thing on the distribution CD/diskette. Maybe Necromancer's DOS Navigator? It is GNU but it doesn't

[Freedos-devel] FreeDOS and WfW 3.11

2007-04-07 Thread Tony
I was bored so I tried FreeDOS 1.0 and WfW 3.11. Setup installed fine (in VirtualPC 2K4) totally trashed in VMWare... Reboot, attempt to load WfW, get an error message that WfW can't run because some protected mode application is running that I need to kill. Hmmm, so I look in the Windows
