webmail Hi David, MEM: who was working on that? progress? This is described in the 1.0 TODO wiki, but I have not heard back about the recent progress for quite a while. There should be some MEM 1.8, but I do not know where you can get 1.7-and-a-half now. Sorry, right now I am not able to

Hi! Very nice topic :-) Beta 9 Enhanced Release distro as a FreeDOS 1.0 pre-release distro. I would rather call it a FreeDOS 1.0 technology preview 1, because there are some known missing features but MOST aspects ARE 1.0-worthy. For one, this would mean that it would get tested more

Hi Aitor... I'm sorry, but my own opinion is NO. First of all, there are features about MEM, AtapiCDD and why not, DISPLAY that should be finished... I would suggest to drop ATAPICDD from that list. But worst of all, the large number of bugs already existing. I doubt that naming it 1.0

Hi Aitor... So Eric will confirm if /M is already implemented... Jason did some testing and, contrary to my assumptions, found no useful improvement by adding some local buffers. Plus we have a dedicated cd-rom cache which works better anyway, so I would call the /M thing in SHSUCDX a

some others like Win 3.11 compat should probably be fixed before we call it FreeDOS 1.0 ... There is probably a patent to prevent us of it anyway :( ASM I don't think so... Did it prevent DR-DOS from doing that anyway? I ASM think it's just a question of misscompatibilities here or there...

Hi, some comments on your comments... HIMEM /INT15H=... should not be extremely hard to do, so I vote for it. HIMEM /HMAMIN=m is indeed not very useful. Being able to allocate PARTS of the HMA would be nice but was not introduced before MS DOS 7 or so, and before that time, HMAMIN protected

Hi, Alain has introduced in this mail something interesting that was introduced in other posts too: the spec mentions a kernel compatible to MS-DOS 3.30, but actually I think that our current FreeDOS kernel is closer to 5.0 and sucessors than 3.30. Also 3.30 and 5.0 have many differences in
