Hi Marv!
FDAPM FLUSH (no slash needed) does not rely on the BIOS,
it is just meant to give caches hints to write back all

do not need to flush with those :-)

Hi! Interesting question. This calculator has only 146 kB RAM
and only 256 kB of the ROM is reprogrammable flash. Also, the
display has very low resolution. You might be able to get some
workable solution by starting from Rayer's ROM OS approach, but
everything is very small in that calculator.
Hi!
If you say you have a 512 MB BIOS limit, your limit probably
is 512 * 63 * 16 * 1024 bytes, in other words a limit in the
number of "heads" (those do not relate to actual surfaces).
Are you sure FreeDOS is affected when you use LBA? Note that
the limit is only 504 * 1024 * 1024 bytes, so
