Re: [Freedos-user] USB to serial adapters and soundcard emulation on FreeDOS

I’ve tried DOSemu with the Orca screenreader before. it could read the screen in terminal or dumb mode, but for some reason, when new text scrolled into the screen, the screenreader read the whole screen. Haven’t had a chance to try this with speakup, and right now I doubt I could anyway since

Re: [Freedos-user] USB to serial adapters and soundcard emulation on FreeDOS

(forwarding from Guillem) In response to Eric, I have tried DOSemu and I did manage to get the serial ports to work. I had a few problems with it, though. Neither the PC speaker or the Sound Blaster worked. To be honest I’m not sure if the netbook I was running it on has a PC speaker anyways.

Re: [Freedos-user] USB to serial adapters and soundcard emulation on FreeDOS

I think you might need to consider a vintage laptop. I have FreeDOS installed on a Compaq Armada 1750 and using Mpxplay, the sound is amazing through front/top firing speakers with side bass ports. I have yet to get Qview configured properly, for sound, but since that is the case with every PC I

[Freedos-user] USB boot and hanging.

I too have had blinking-cursor-hang;PloP boot manager will often, but not always succeed in mounting/loading a usb. I suspect that the main problem with the usb stick is that it often contains an HPA partition. If the usb truly behaved as a hard drive, you could eliminate the HPA. When using
