[Freedos-user] Re : Support for 4k byte sectors + TDSK

Hi, Guys! Replying to self, sort of, and Jeremy at the same time. I've been glancing thru the ram disk, TDSK, source. Internal buffer (used for init only) was provisionned for one 4K sector, but for some reason author(s) limited sector size to 2K, as specified on the driver's command line. I

[Freedos-user] Best virtual machine for FreeDOS 1.2

Dear friends: I usually use VirtualBox, but as Jack said, it didn't emulate well some old hardware. Which one should I use? QEMU, some VMware "gratis". I need SB16 and network emulation, controlling CPU cycles (I don't want to burn my PC) Thanks in advance, BCPino Gino P.S. Please I don't wan

Re: [Freedos-user] Re : Support for 4k byte sectors

Improved support for sectors other than 512 bytes has been committed, I am still working on it, default support will still be for 512 bytes (currently not while testing). I have tested 256, 512, 1024, and 2048 byte sectors with tdsk (currently my only way to test). Using max sector size higher th
