Hello. I am interested in building the FAT file system in freeDOS as a stand-alone module that works on a ramdisk. The system that I will work on is a SUN SOLARIS (UNIX). I have downloaded the source code KE2035. Can anyone tell me something about what to think of before I begin? Which files

Hi, Hello. I have three questions: 1. Does freeDOS have a ramdisk and if so how do I use it? Try TDISK: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/ramdisk/ (up to mirrors) 2. What does execrh do? Execute a device driver request packet. That is, catch a device
