Hello,

It is a well-known Turbo Pascal Library bug, you can either fix the
resulting program, or the TPL itself.
More details here:

 I'm new to Freedos, and tried it with a program written in Borland Pascal
 which usually gives a 200 divide by zero error if run on a modern PC. The
 software seems to run perfectly under Freedos, and I would like to know
 whether this is a fluke, or if Freedos does actually divide down the system
 clock?

[Freedos-user] hardware testing...

2008-07-13 Thread robinson-west user
Are there any freedos compatible programs to test 
my Intel D845PEBT2 motherboard?  I'm having trouble 
getting Fedora Core 9 to work on it.  Dirk Dashing
randomly slows way down.  I'm also having sound
problems.  I'm wondering if this is a software
issue, but I can't rule out hardware failure.

Hi User,

 Are there any freedos compatible programs to test
 my Intel D845PEBT2 motherboard?  I'm having trouble
 getting Fedora Core 9 to work on it.  Dirk Dashing
 randomly slows way down.  I'm also having sound
 problems.  I'm wondering if this is a software
 issue, but I can't rule out hardware failure.

According to http://support.intel.com/design/motherbd/bt2/index.htm
this board has AC97 audio. You might be able to test with MPXPLAY,
a nice mp3 player for DOS which supports some AC97 soundcards, too.

The board supports Pentium4 and Celeron - pretty old stuff,
you should try a Core2Duo or Athlon64x2ee :-). It can use DDR
RAM, up to 2 GB, i845PE chipset, SMSC LPC47M172 multi I/O,
AGP 4x 1.5V graphics, SIL 3112A SATA (only 2 drives, RAID0/1),
USB, LPT, COM, IDE UDMA100, floppy, PS/2, PCI slots.

You could run www.memtest.org/ memtest86+ from a boot
disk or boot CD or from DOS. When you run it in DOS,
you can load HIMEM but cannot load EMM386. Only RAM
and your main CPU core (no HT) will be tested that
way. Testing SATA, IDE, floppy, printer port, serial
port, PS/2 and USB should be straightforward - just
use them and see if they work :-).

http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ also has a nice list of
test tools for DOS and Linux, including several hard
disk diagnostic tools.

Eric :-)
