Hi Mike, Thanks for mTCP! I experimented with it yesterday for the first time, and it took me just 15 minutes to get started, in spite of my near complete lack of internet experience (except of course web browsers and email clients). This also means that your manuals are well written, so my

Thank you. That works. I haven't run SETUP yet but your commands do indeed mount the ISO as X:. In fact what I did is to boot the CD and look for the the SHSUCD* files, at which point I noticed the FREEDOS and DRIVER directories which were missing from the boot floppy. So I copied them to the

Hi folks, Granted I am not using freedos so to speak, but realize that many dos tools cross editions. What tools are people using in freedos to experience streaming audio, or audio playback features, like those included after tele-simanars? Thanks, Karen

Hi Eric, thanks for these very helpful answers. I will ask Creative about a package to run sound in DOS. I have tried to unzip the DOSDRV It run but told me can only be installed under Win 95 and 98 with VXD drivers installed. Perhaps I make a partition for such a Windows. I have heared that

Hi Johannes, I have heard that the most soundcards work with an old dosdriver for SB compatible cards. Maybe not. The Audigy driver will probably be designed only for Audigy cards. If the Audigy is AC97 compatible it might be easy for Creative to also support more AC97 compatible cards - but

Tried several times to use ordinary Soundblaster Live! under DOS - and _never_ was able to make any use out of this card under DOS. Maybe someone of you managed to configure this card for DOS? Just out of curiosity, since I've got ISA cards, that I'm using with no problems whatsoever - but I'm

Hi Zbigniew! Tried several times to use ordinary Soundblaster Live! under DOS - and _never_ was able to make any use out of this card under DOS. Note that SB Live! is not a SoundBlaster in the sense that SB 1.0, SB 1.5, SB Pro, SB 2.0 or SB 16 are, it is not compatible to any of those DOS

Hi Mike, I shouldn't even have called this thing a bug. It is, at most, an issue of semantics. Because the SNTC screen message used the word timezone, I thought it would write UTC+3. I'm probably right on that point (just ckecked it in the Wikipedia), but it was rather diselegant from me to find
