Hi. Yeah, only reason I asked is because right now my only way of running DOS is actually through dosbox, which would make testing it kind of impossible. Before I dualboot my PC I want to be sure I'll be able to use it. If I don't have speech synthesis I can't use the computer. I would run the

Just for clarification, does this only work with programs loaded inside dosbox inside HX, or is there any way to get it to work under DOS directly, with HX loaded but without DOSbox? I'm still thinking of dualbooting one of my machines with DOS but I need some way of doing either USB serial

Hello, I am currently considering the possibility of dualbooting my Windows computer with FreeDOS. I have the resources to do so (FreeDOS installation CD image which I can burn to a flashdrive, 512mb unallocated space on my main drive which I will make a FAT32 partition on, etc) but I’m only
