2011/9/14, Michael C. Robinson plu...@robinson-west.com: [..] One interesting option on say a quad core system is to have the 32 bit OS partition the memory, the monitor, the hard disk, and the cpu cores so you can have multiple concurrent 16 bit Freedos instances. Something similar have been done even at 386-times. Ever heard about PC/MOS-386? Since you are running the equivalent of DOSBOX concurrently, Most probably you can run on your multicore machine concurrent sessions of DOSBOX (or DOSEMU). modern hardware can emulate older hardware. Now you have a clean means of supporting modern hardware for people using old DOS applications. Want your multi function printer to appear as a standard printer, fax machine, and scanner? No problem. I'm not that sure - but someone of FreeDOS developers will surely know better, if it won't be any problem. But, actually, why you want another DOSBOX to be created? You've got already DOSBOX and DOSEMU... it's not enough? -- Z. -- BlackBerryreg; DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA Learn about the latest advances in developing for the BlackBerryreg; mobile platform with sessions, labs more.

You've got already DOSBOX and DOSEMU... it's not enough? DOSBox is pretty close, but not perfect. It doesn't implement Ctrl-Break processing, loadable device drivers, etc. It is a good DOS emulation and it can be extended, as the HAL9000 builds do. (Those builds add the networking hardware emulation that I use.)

DosBox does not have packet driver for networking and Dosemu is not getting any updates ant it getting hard to use in new distros. (I sent 3 important patches and they have not been incorporated, infact there has not been a release since then) Alain -- BlackBerryreg; DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA Learn about the latest advances in developing for the BlackBerryreg; mobile platform with sessions, labs more.

Dear all, You have probably noticed, that I have received a lot of public feedback (plus a few private mails) on my announcement to close this forum. Thanks for that! I didn't know, that this forum is such an important part of the DOS community. Today I have also received a //large// donation via PayPal from an unknown US guy to keep the forum alive. Well, folks, I'm not trying to get rich now, but: **DOS ain't dead will stay online after 2011-09-19!** A special thanks to these people for their interest in hosting this forum: Glenn McCorkle, RayeR, Japheth, Michael B. Brutman, Jim Hall, Markus Maussner, and Michal H.
