[Freedos-user] DOS Compatable Soundcards in PCI?

Re: [Freedos-user] DOS Compatable Soundcards in PCI?
Hi! Now that i got a new PC, i'll be using my older one (2001 - not that old, today's standards make it seem like an IBM PC). Boards with PCI, AGP and ISA at the same time were cool :-) Includes boards for Pentium III and AMD K6, quite okay... Just Wondering is there any dos compatable soundcards with PCI Support and AdLib... - ForteMedia FM801 chipset has native Adlib and tries to be hardware SB compatible which works only on older mainboards while the Adlib part of it still works on newest boards :-D - CMedia CM8738 tries to be hardware SB compatible, too, but is more pain with compatibility / drivers if you ask me ;-) - SBPCI and SBLive! come with a SOFTWARE driver which simulates a SB soundcard. Sounds quite okay but works only for games which are EMM386 compatible... - you can use Dosemu in Linux to have full CPU speed but still have a simulated soundcard (sound output via any Linux driver) - you can use any virtual computer to run DOS in Windows or Linux with a simulated soundcard but this is slow and uses much CPU - you can try the VSB virtual sound blaster, output to printer port or internal speaker as far as I remember - SB 1.0 or so? Eric PS: All three cards also support AC97 natively, but I do not know which of them are for example DOS MPXPLAY native AC97 compatible. - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

Eric, I again tried putting the fdconfig.sys in drive 'c', first with the c-oriented version; then with the d-oriented version. Also tried editing the autoexec.bat in 'd' drive to : cfg=c:\fdconfig.sys; everytime I execute autoexec.bat in 'd', exactly the same thing happens; action taken apmdos,bad command or filename,bad command or filename. Finally, I realized that if I completely remove 'fdconfig.sys from both 'c' and 'd' drives, that is, everywhere, and again execute the bat in 'd', there is no difference whatsoever! This means that the autoexec.bat completely ignores the fdconfig under these circumstances(fdos not in 'c') but the config in 'c' is empty, it being in w98. So, where does the bat get hijacked to, and why does it not happen when the fdos is installed in 'c'?! I mean for a fact, the bootup options are in the fdconfig! kurt-completely-puzzeled, [EMAIL PROTECTED]. - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

Re: [Freedos-user] clarify dualboot 3.
Hi Kurt, Please do the following: - put c:\fdconfig.sys on what both Win98 and FreeDOS call C: - edit the SHELL or SHELLHIGH line in c:\fdconfig.sys to use: SHELL=D:\FDOS\bin\command.com D:\FDOS\bin /E:1024 /P=D:\fdauto.bat - now you use d:\fdauto.bat as the autoexec.bat for FreeDOS - Win98 can keep using c:\config.sys and c:\autoexec.bat and c:\command.com for itself, they can be the Microsoft files :-) - all FreeDOS files *except* C:\fdconfig.sys can be in D:\FDOS\ now (depending on how you boot, kernel.sys can be on C:\ or D:\ here) - remember that BOTH fdconfig.sys and fdauto.bat can contain PATH setting commands, make sure to replace C:\FDOS\BIN\ etc into D:\FDOS\BIN\ and so on there ;-) I again tried putting the fdconfig.sys in drive 'c', first with the c-oriented version; then with the d-oriented version. Also tried editing the autoexec.bat in 'd' drive to : cfg=c:\fdconfig.sys; everytime I execute autoexec.bat in 'd', exactly the same thing happens; action taken apmdos,bad command or filename,bad command or filename. You can also hit F8 at boot to do things step by step so you can watch what happens / in which directories things go wrong. Finally, I realized that if I completely remove 'fdconfig.sys from both 'c' and 'd' drives, that is, everywhere, Then FreeDOS will use c:config.sys which is the Microsoft one. and again execute the bat in 'd', there is no difference whatsoever! This means that the autoexec.bat completely ignores the fdconfig under these circumstances How do you execute it? By typing d:\autoexec.bat at the prompt? That is not the way you would normally run it... If it is not automatically run from (fd)config.sys then you might miss part of the configuration that it expects to be present, too... (fdos not in 'c') but the config in 'c' is empty, it being in w98. Empty? Not sure, but note that Win98 and FreeDOS use different syntax for some of the config.sys commands! If there is no SHELL line in (fd)config.sys then the default is to run C:\COMMAND.COM which should be the Microsoft version and that is not FreeDOS :-p So, where does the bat get hijacked to, and why does it not happen when the fdos is installed in 'c'?! I mean for a fact, the bootup options are in the fdconfig! See above... Note that /P=FILENAME is only one of at least two ways to tell FreeDOS command.com (FreeCOM) to use another file instead of c:\autoexec.bat, see command /? and the dos docs. Also note that Microsoft command.com ignores /P=FILE options(?)

Just Wondering is there any dos compatable soundcards with PCI Support and AdLib... avoid creative sb pci of any kind. i highly recommend ESS Audiodrive pci soundcards from esstech.com (solo, maestro, allegro). they give the least problems when setting up for DOS. if they don't work, other pci sndcards will most likely fail also. ESS isa cards don't need drivers, only the correct BLASTER= setting. btw, esstech is NOT ensoniq. the drivers are still available from their website. the downside? the official drivers are win installers. i ripped the dos versions here: http://vogons.zetafleet.com/viewtopic.php?p=138640 - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

Eric, Tried what you said. Put echo tags at beginning and end of fdconfig.sys; even put them in the bat. Both showed in the bat, but the fdconfig never executed, not in 'c' , not in 'd' any which way, so long as fdos was not initially installed in 'c'. It is obvious that fdconfig does execute if fdos installed to 'c'. I suppose this is the doing of 'kernel.sys', which does not show in plain text editor; I have a couple of hex editors, but that doesn't seem to work, either. Can windows sysedit be used? kurt , [EMAIL PROTECTED]. - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
