I've only been able to find the unregistered shareware version for download. I don't think the developers behind Galaxy are in business anymore, or I would have reached out to them to ask if they could release the full registered version on a website somewhere. (For example, TRIUS released the activation code for the last version of As Easy As for DOS [shareware spreadsheet] on their official forums. So you can go to the TRIUS forums if you want to get the code to use this great shareware DOS spreadsheet.)

This didn't change the boot experience but also works.

Re: [Freedos-user] Is networking unsupported on QEMU? Pilot error suspected.
Dne 27. 12. 23 v 19:04 andrew fabbro via Freedos-user napsal(a): Greetings! I'm a bit perplexed trying to get networking working for FreeDOS 1.3 on QEMU. My physical host is an M1 Mac (Apple Silicon). FreeDOS installs and boots fine, but I get this message: QEMU network detected. Physical hardware networking is not supported at this time. Here is my QEMU invocation: qemu-system-i386 -boot order=cd -m 32M -k en-us -name FreeDOS1 -cdrom FD13BNS.iso -drive FreeDOS1.img,format=raw,media=disk -net nic,model=pcnet -net user I've also tried model=ne2k_pci, model=e1000, etc. Also tried similar setup in UTM, which is a graphical front end for QEMU. But looking at FreeDOS's startup scripts, I'm thinking maybe QEMU networking is not supported...? At line 84 of FDAUTO.BAT, "%dosdir%\bin\fdnet.bat start" is called. Looking at fdnet.bat, at line 92, "vinfo /m" is executed. When I execute this myself at the command line, errorlevel is set to 102. In fdnet.bat, this branches to a label called NoAutoQEMU on line 109. There, since %1 is "start" there's a goto NoStartQEMU. That gives the "QEMU network detected" message. Then there's a goto NoHardware, which gives the "Physical networking is not supported at this time" and end. So is networking under QEMU completely unsupported? Strangely, I found this forum post in which someone has it working just fine, so I'm thinking that maybe I'm doing something wrong? https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-virtualization-and-cloud-90/freedos-in-qemu-no-internet-connection-4175638386/ Hi Andrew, I use QEMU 8.2 on Fedora 39, my network-related setup looks as follows: -device pcnet,netdev=id1 -netdev user,id=id1 It just works for me with no other tweaks necessary. The difference is actually only in syntax. Using -net is deprecated for some time, but IIRC it should still work. I wonder if it can be relevant here.
