I found a site by George Potthast and unfortunately though I got his USB2 driver to work for a while, it stopped working. Another concern, he wants an atrocious amount of money for a copy that doesn't stop working. I'd much rather donate $600 to the freedos maintainers to advance the support of USB beyond 1.1.
I'm exploring the use of FreeDOS to work on an Agilent E5061A network analyzer. There is an internal hard drive and a modified motherboard. In theory, I should be able to use FreeDOS to work on the Agilent E5071B network analyzer also. I have successfully booted freedos on the analyzer. The standard rescue disk uses PC DOS by the way. My hope is to boot to an external hard drive plugged into the USB port. There is a TSR called panel.exe that supports the touchscreen, the first line of fdconfig.sys has to be: DEVICE=A:\PANEL.EXE or you won't see anything... I would like to use grub4dos or plop, but they don't work on the Agilent because of the nonstandard bios and nonstandard video card. I need to be able to trigger boot of Windows 2000 from an external hard drive. The copy of ghost doesn't seem to like USB hard drives and won't restore an image to one. If I have to open the analyzer case, that is obtrusive where the action will void the calibration. I can't emphasize enough that I have to stay out of the case... replacing the internal hard disk is not an option. How can I restore the factory ghost image to a USB hard drive??? I started using xcopy to copy the internal C drive to an external partition, but George's driver shut down on me after about 20 minutes or so... uge! Another concern about freedos, how do I get long filename support as Windows 2000 is installed to a FAT32 partition? _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
