Nice. Work is keeping me super busy at the moment but once I have time to
install it and give it a real try I plan on writing a post for my small corner

Well I'm admittedly late to the party on this one, but I guess I'll
chime in anyway.
I was born in '86 so by the time I started playing on computers it was
in the Windows 95 days, and my first time actually using a computer with

Awesome! I was about to install 1.2 on an old ThinkPad I've got but I

I’ve seen video and I did play a fair number of DOS compatible games in my

looking to get rid of or a cheap one at Goodwill.

You may already realize this but, at least for now, all HDDs on the
market with 4k physical sector size still report and work with 512b
sector sizes.
Some also report extended attributes that let aware OSs know they have
4k physical sector sizes.
Thus, they ARE backwards compatible, and the pri

Most people don't buy the lates
Consumers (home and business) for the most part buy the bulk of their
storage on $/GB type of decisions. Buying multiple lower capacity HDDs
does not meet this model.
The 2.5" and 3.5" form factors are such an embedded standard that making

One of the key things I'm thinking about is, independent of total space
on the drive, it looks like physical sector sizes larger than 512b may
be all that is available at some point in the not too distant future. Of
course the drives will continue to appear as 512b to OSs/apps that don't

Thank you for the quick and informative response. It is pretty much just

I see that the FreeDOS format command has a /A option to use 4k sector
formatting.
Have any of the underlying I/O paths or built-in tools for
writing/cloning/copying/etc been updated to understand the new
generation of large drives that use 4K physical sectors but still accept

My concerns with Linux:
1) It has to have some sort of processing in the background to handle
ethernet and serial ports -
I'm looking for an OS to run on an embedded system (a 586 based PC104)
board. What I need is pretty simple:
1) Access to ethernet, TCP and UDP. (Waterloo should do it.)
2) The ability to hook interrupts.
3) I need to be able to handle serial ports via interrupts; potentially
