HI thanks for this great list!
I was actually tinkering with 512 MB USB Sticks because I thought that there
might be a difference when it comes to use TWO USB-Sticks at the same time.
(like C: and D: )
I don’t know why this strategy SOMETIMES works - and sometimes it doesn’t.
Maybe it has
You mean it would list filenames differing from a Dir /foo and Dir /fuzz like
in a diff program?

Oberon is so small because it lacks all the features an operating system must
have. These omissions are why the author never compares Oberon to popular
operating systems--it is a lost cause.

Hi Jim,
Question to you: Do you know how many LINES the FREEDOS Kernel has?
Thanks, Thomas
PS.
regarding your understandable reaction on Liam’s earlier mail,
I don’t mind too much his »No« to FREEDOS as I personally have my reasons why I
would want to explore FreeDos more in depth.
As I
For some experimental reasons I got a 19« 3M Touchscreen for the RS-232 Port.

working…)
My question is about the RS-232 COM1 port.

Thanks, Liam, for your insightful and realistic considerations. I can't object,
but would bring in my argument.
I know it might sound kind of anti-progressive or even silly, to argue with
»slowing down« things. »Multi Tasking« is (was?) a lie. It isn’t real for us
humans in a good sense.
but I can't imagine it wouldn't work.

Hello,
could someone from the list give me an advice, what programming language to
learn,
if I would want to do some programming in FREEDOS?
I am an absolute »Noobie« with programming, but stumbling about some source
files,
especially BASIC, which I would work with.

Hi Michael,
with great interest I was reading your thoughts about DOS.
Let me add from my personal experience:
The tech gap between DOS (FREEDOS) and WINDOWS/MAC honestly made me going back
and forth between those OS options.
I tried to make up my mind in the following way: What do I get
I have a couple of small pc s (hp, lenovo, EPT ed al.) around and start from
usb stick w Freedos booting.
All USB devices work: Mouse, trackpad (also the Apple magic trackpad!), bamboo
trackpad, some chinese foot pedal für Commands (e.g. control, also SHIFT) works
fine …

Hi Eric,
I only now saw your earlier email with your detailed ideas how to approach the
question.
I would only need letters a-z to be shifted.

Yes, if I release the key under e.g. 500 Milliseconds, it would be the lower
case letter, if I hold it 500 ms and more, it would return a Upper case
(shifted) letter.
So it would need a »timer« to count from pressed key to released. if >500 ms,
it should send an ASCI
example
uppercase A =

Hi,
is it possible in DOS (using BIOS?) to implement a tsr or so which allows the
following:
holding a key longer to return a SHIFT-key on screen?
Example:
press key »a« and HOLD the key for e.g. 500 milliseconds,
=> print shift-a = »A« on screen.
Anyone around who has an idea or
Hi Mercury Thirteen,
do you have some more info on your build?
I am interested in something like that, which would integrate a small trackpad
into the kbd.

I would want to find out if there is any common ground regarding USB Stick
formatting and having access to a second USB Stick when booting FreeDOS from a
first USB Stick.

There is even software that shuts down if you stop writing for more than a
couple fo seconds. ouch!
And here is a funny writing software, unfortunately only for Windows …
It only lets you write like on a Typwriter. But you can save it either as html
single pages or as a txt - file.
Yeah, sure, Martin writes on Word perfect. Still does.
