Re: [Freedos-user] XGCDROM and CD/DVD Recording
does ASPI.SYS by Oak require a ATAPI driver to be loaded first? Yes. Load xgcdrom or something first, then load aspi.sys. Using devload worked fine for me. I hope to get the real system workable but no idea why it hangs. Wish I knew if the GCDROM/ASPI.SYS combination actually worked, as that would allow recording on a lot of real systems Well I tested xgcdrom/aspi on a real machine here, and it worked (DVD+-RW drive), so at least on my system it works for a real system. I have not tested it in a virtual environment. -- Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.

I'm using the default settings created by the FreeDOS installation program, and I have the sound card enabled in FreeDOS' BLASTER settings are misleading, because many cards also need some kind of driver, setup tool, or enabler. So you need http://www.google.com/search?q=sbbasic.exe. Virtual PC, but I am not hearing any sounds in the game I just installed. Does FreeDOS come with a sound test utility? There is no documentation on the game's installation disks. Many games are nice sound test utilities, e. g., Doom Legacy or Kraptor. Both can be found in fdfullcd.iso or via Google.

ASPI.SYS won't load if an ATAPI driver isn't loaded already. ASPI.SYS provides an ASPI-over-ATAPI interface; it does not comunicate with SCSI devices. -- Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.

Re: [Freedos-user] FreeDOS on Virtual PC 2007
Are the BLASTER settings described anywhere in detail? VPC says it emulates the Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16 ISA Plug and Play. Maybe my settings are wrong. You can use the GETSB.EXE tool which is contained in HXGUI (http://www.japheth.de/hx.html). It reads the SB16 mixer status directly, thus it's able to tell the true values for IRQ and DMA. A PnP card usually has to be enabled - for SB16, there was a tool DIAGNOSE.EXE, which did this. But IIRC this isn't needed for VPC, the SB16 card is enabled automatically. -- Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
