Mike,
Good to make your acquaintance. Let me
John,
Just to make sure I understand ...
You are running a batch file that is doing net use to setup printer
shares, a file share, and loads nansi.sys. And the output to the screen
during that time is around 8.5 chars per second?
Just as a comparison, running the FreeDOS Beta of 1.1 under
Hi! Two thoughts about NANSI being slow in VirtualBox
while network drives and printers are used and FDAPM
is active: In DOSEMU, you can configure how agressive
screen updates should be. So it can try to keep up
with screen updates, or it can just occasionally do
a window update. DOSEMU also runs

Hi Cordata,
So is the problem simply eating up processor time?
Note that this is probably not VM specific and would
also happen on real hardware. Why not run DOS on your
real 64 bit CPU? At boot, it is in 16 bit addr space
anyway, allowing the usual DOS 16/32 bit calculations.
You would waste
Hi Eric,

If I'm running DOS in a production environment on real hardware I (personally)
would make sure the hardware could handle it and not overheat. There are
plenty of industrial solutions out there that

John,
Maybe you could help us by being very specific with what worked and what
went wrong? The only thing I could gather from your message was that it
was difficult to do, and it was slow.
One thing that is essential for good performance is to ensure that your
host machine is new enough to
Hello!
I'd like to keep my local FreeDOS mirror up-to-date.
Are there any mirrors to sync with (Cygwin) rsync (on Windows)?
Back in 2010 I used to use
rsync://ftp.rz.tu-bs.de/pub/mirror/freedos/, which is no longer
available. :-(

Hello
I tried to install Freedos 1.0 on a SD card using Unetbootin. I used
the Freedos from the drop down menu of the latest Unetbootin version
and ran the process to write it on the SD card. After completion the
install manager asked me for a reboot which I did. The Freedos program
ran correctly
