[Freedos-user] Ibiblio blocked as malware site
If you have tried to visit the FreeDOS archives at ibiblio in the last day, you may have seen a message from your browser that ibiblio is serving malware. I was notified of the problem this morning, and before I reached out to the ibiblio administrators I saw that they already knew of the problem and have apparently fixed the issue. But it may take a few days for ibiblio to get unblocked (most browsers use Google for malware-site checking, and it may take a day or so for Google to re-verify the site). Anyway, I wanted to let you know that I was aware of the problem. So is ibiblio. Looks like the ibiblio web server was pushing an iframe that distributed malware. Doesn't sound like files on the archive have been messed with. But of course I await to hear further news and analysis. I'm sure ibiblio will have fun over the next few days as they do their own security analysis to see how to plug whatever path people used to tamper with the web server. jh ' -- Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.

[Freedos-user] New 12-Dec-2013 UIDE Driver.
Johnson Lam has posted a new 12-Dec-2013 DRIVERS.ZIP update in his dropbox at: http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15785527/drivers.zip UIDE now offers a separate CD/DVD cache, with a /C switch, for users with an old CD drive requiring limited seeks, to avoid tracking errors and low speed. UIDE still offers user-driver caching (though nobody uses it!), now with a more positive way of finding UIDE and linking to it for caching calls. The UHDD and UDVD2 drivers are both gone. Users did not want UHDD for PCs with no IDE CDs/DVDs, or UDVD2 for kiosks or boot diskettes. Many go on using the BIOS for disks. And they go on using VIDE-CDD or OAKCDROM for CDs/DVDs, despite no PCI- bus support, no UltraDMA, nor any caching. Pitiful. But, who am I to argue more! So, I decided to get RID of all my dead-wood, and we are now back to the one and only UIDE. -- Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
