Re: [Freedos-user] freedos - Modern sata dvd dual layer not found
Does it run in IDE compatibility mode or in AHCI? I don't know. But this IS IMPORTANT to know. None of existing DOS drivers supports AHCI. But How to get this information ? ! ! ! ! RTFM ??? Some hardware detection tool ??? After booting from FREEDOS BOOTABLE CDROM I can access the DVDROM After booting from Hard Disk I cannot access DVDROM. But as I can access SATA HD. If both are SATA why can't I access DVDROM ? BIOS hepls with CD/DVD only if you boot from it. -- ~~~ wow ~~~ -- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

Re: [Freedos-user] freedos - Modern sata dvd dual layer not found
First of all, what is AHCI? isn't that related to USB??? No. USB is related to the UHCI (USB 1.0), OHCI (USB 1.1), EHCI (USB 2.0), WHCI (Wireless USB) and XHCI (USB 3.0). AHCI is an interface for SATA controllers.

Re: [Freedos-user] (fdapm vs idlehalt performance and energy saving in dos)
Hi Marcos, thanks for the in-depth measurements :-) 1 FDAPM APMDOS + IDLEHALT=1 11 sec 2 FDAPM ADV:REG + IDLEHALT=1 6 sec 3 FDAPM APMDOS 6 sec 4IDLEHALT=1 6 sec 5 FDAPM ADV:REG about half a sec 6 (nothing) about half a sec I adopted option 5 to work with Desi-III, of course. I agree that this is the best option. To answer your questions: IDLEHALT is in the kernel, you do not have to load it. You only activate it or not. FDAPM is more advanced, but takes a bit of DOS memory. The ADV:REG option usually saves almost as much of your battery power as the normal APMDOS option. You do not get extra savings by combining FDAPM and IDLEHALT, only slowness ;-) You do not need to standby or suspend DOS - just shutdown the PC when you do not need it and reboot it when you need it again, a DOS system usually boots very quickly. However, FDAPM does have support for APM BIOS standby and suspend. Whether it actually will work and wake up properly depends on the BIOS. If you get stuck, you can always keep the power button of your PC pressed for several seconds to force a power-off or power-on. Newer BIOSes do not support any APM. They only support ACPI. For ACPI, FDAPM gives you throttling (SPEED1 to SPEED8) and poweroff but no actually useful standby or suspend options... Throttling means that your CPU will be halted up to 7/8 of the time, which is also a nice thing for playing too fast old DOS games :-). It is also possible to suspend other components with DOS PCISLEEP. Note that all the throttling and suspending stuff does not save much more energy than FDAPM APMDOS on a typical desktop PC if DOS is just waiting for input at the prompt. I also made a tool for AMD Cool n Quiet to switch my CPU to 1 GHz and lower voltage, but this only works for the CPU and mainboard for which you compile it. For automatic setup for generic PC, the tool would be complex and I was lazy... -- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
Re: [Freedos-user] FreeDOS Networking with other OS
Hi! I've never used FreeDOS before... Is it possible to log into a headless FreeDOS box from Linux? I'm considering setting up an electronic workbench PC with FreeDOS. Interesting :-) DOS is single tasking, so you cannot easily run a telnet or ssh server and let that start a login shell such as command.com from there. However, you can use network stacks as wattcp (for 32bit apps in dos: watt32) to access the network... For example there are ssh2dos and smbclient clients for ssh and samba. There are also DOS http servers such as Ez-Nos or Sioux. www.georgpotthast.de/sioux/ Apparently wattcp has a telnetd as one of the sample apps? Maybe: www.umich.edu/~archive/msdos/communications/wattcp/ (could somebody mirror this before it turns into dust? ;-)) More watt32 DOS network apps / servers: www.bgnett.no/~giva/ Many mixed links: www.freedos.org/freedos/news/technote/157.html www.freedos.org/freedos/links/ - for example has this guide: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/freedos/index.php?title=Networking_FreeDOS I hope you can get a telnet server working with all those :-) Please let me know when you have news about the project.
