This was reported at least twice in recent years: 1). 2016-May-6: "[Freedos-devel] Beep command can't stop sounding when run in Intel Skylelake platorm." * https://sourceforge.net/p/freedos/mailman/message/35068370/ 2). 2017-Jun-9: "#189 Beep function freezes on recently intel platform (skylake/kabylake)" * https://sourceforge.net/p/freedos/bugs/189/ As shown there, while I don't have such new hardware, I made a small binary patch to remove beeping. (old standard TC++ build of FreeCOM 0.84-pre2 XMS_Swap from 2006) ("upx -d command.com" first) --- binary patch begins here --- Comparing COMMAND.OLD and COMMAND.COM 00008293: 55 C3 000082AF: 55 C3 So you can grab the default COMMAND.COM from my small floppy .img from MetaDOS, if that'll help you (7-Zip's "7z" can extract from .img), since I disabled it there: * https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/unofficial/metados/metados-0.7.zip * https://sites.google.com/site/rugxulo/p7z1602b.7z?attredirects=0&d=1 * http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1.2/repos/archiver/7zdec.zip _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
