Re: [Freedos-user] questions on FreeDOS

1. You can get sound in VirtualBox by changing the VM audio device to SoundBlaster 16. You can do this by opening the VM settings, going to sound, and selecting SoundBlaster 16 as the audio controller. 2. I'm not sure if this is possible, maybe someone else can chime in about that. Corbin On Tue

Re: [Freedos-user] Games - and DOS installation

Yeah, I don't think anyone in the FreeDOS project has ever aimed for it to be a replacement to Windows/Mac/Linux. That's like comparing a wheelbarrow to an SUV. FreeDOS is a niche OS for a niche market, but it's a very good one at that. Corbin On Mon, Jun 20, 2016 at 8:36 PM,

Re: [Freedos-user] install

One important aspect is the ability to turn off secure boot and Legacy BIOS support, not just Legacy USB support. More and more of these low-end devices have Secure Boot turned on and can't be turned off, and even then some of them don't boot OSes that don't have UEFI bootloaders. I have an HP Str

I would think FreeDOS would work fine on any PC with legacy boot enabled, but extra stuff like USB, sound, and/or networking might need extra drivers that might not be available. Corbin On Feb 3, 2016 12:57 PM, "Wayne Dernoncourt" wrote: > I'm planning to install Free-DOS on a standalone system

Re: [Freedos-user] dos usb driver!

It's possible to use MS-DOS 7.1 standalone by creating a backup disk using Windows 98, I believe (Windows 95 was 7.0, and ME was 8.0). If anyone's interested, I have an MS-DOS 7.1 ISO with an installation script that someone uploaded years ago to some abandonware site that is no longer live. On

It looks much better, but the layout seems to be a bit odd on mobile (see http://imgur.com/oi2voVx). I have some free time later today, I could make a snippet of CSS to make it a bit more responsive/fluid for smaller screens. Sent using CloudMagic On Thu, Dec 18, 2014 at 11:04 PM, Jim Hall

Re: [Freedos-user] For what architectures is FreeDOS designed?

FreeDOS itself and all the programs for it is 16-bit. FreeDOS is designed to run on Intel 386-compatible CPUs and above, but I think it can run on 286 and some even below that. Sent using CloudMagic On Sun, Nov 23, 2014 at 2:58 PM, Dennis Holierhoek wrote: Hello everybody,

Re: [Freedos-user] Why are you using FreeDOS?

If it's radio equipment that the software manages, it might not run in the Windows command line or DOSBox. It probably needs direct access to the hardware, which I don't think either provide. On Mon, Aug 4, 2014 at 7:42 PM, dmccunney wrote: > On Mon, Aug 4, 2014 at 7:13 PM, Jim Haynes wrote:
