[Freedos-user] EtherDFS - a network drive for DOS
Hi all, I write this short announcement to present an alpha version of a new software I have been creating these past weeks. EtherDFS is an "installable filesystem" for DOS. It installs a network drive that is seen like any "normal" drive to DOS and its application, with the exception that the actual data is located on a server. The server part is called EtherSRV and currently only a Linux version of it exists. EtherDFS uses raw ethernet frames to communicate with EtherSRV - this means only a working packet driver is required, nothing else. More information on the project's homepage: http://etherdfs.sourceforge.net I cannot stress enough the fact that this is an alpha version - it's in a very early stage, and lots is to be done yet. It does work however, and seems stable enough so it shouldn't make your PC explode. Its memory footprint is quite huge for now, since its resident size is of 16 KiB. Future versions will surely improve on that. Also, it *should* work with MSDOS 5+, but I tested it only with FreeDOS so far. -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
[Freedos-user] questions on FreeDOS
Hello, I just started tinkering with FreeDOS after listening to Jim Hall on the Lunduke Hour. I think this project is so cool! I do have some questions. 1. is there any way to have sound working while in Virtualbox? 2. is there a way to set FreeDOS as a VNC, telnet, or even SSH server? I would have a full screen session when playing some of the DOS games. Thanks for you time!

Re: [Freedos-user] questions on FreeDOS
1. You can get sound in VirtualBox by changing the VM audio device to SoundBlaster 16. You can do this by opening the VM settings, going to sound, and selecting SoundBlaster 16 as the audio controller. 2. I'm not sure if this is possible, maybe someone else can chime in about that.

In VirtualBox, you can start the VM with VNC enabled [0].

I followed the instructiion ran this command VBoxManage modifyvm "FreeDOS" --vrde on I launched the VM verifed it has an ip address and I can ping out, but my laptop cannot ping FreeDOS. However FreeDOS can ping my laptop...

[Freedos-user] New FreeDOSers Monthly Reminder
MONTHLY REMINDER FOR THE FREEDOS MAILING LISTS Hello, and welcome to the FreeDOS mailing list! If you have been a list member for some time, then you can skip this as you should be familiar with the rules by now. -- The FreeDOS Project aims to create a free, complete implementation of classic DOS. DOS is still a popular system, and plenty of people use FreeDOS to play classic DOS games, run legacy software, and support embedded systems. For more information about FreeDOS, visit: http://www.freedos.org/ We have only a few rules for posting to the FreeDOS mailing lists: 1. Don't swear. We don't want this mailing list to become what Usenet turned into. 2. Keep posts on-topic. Remember, we set up this mailing list to discuss FreeDOS issues. 3. No flame wars. If you feel really strongly against what someone has said, send a reply off-list. Some suggestions: ** Please send only plain text email messages, rather than messages formatted in HTML. Plain text makes it easier for everyone to read your posts. Above all, HTML email is particularly difficult for some screen readers. ** When replying to messages, please quote just the bit of email you are replying to. Don't copy the whole conversation if you don't need to. -- /* This is an automated message sent out to the mailing list at the first of each month.
