Thanks - yes, I thought I would keep and use the smaller installation
partition for recovery and future :) upgrades. It's not in the way of
anything.
I'll look into EtherDFS today. My main computer runs on Windows 10, which
is always a challenge with sharing/permission rights due to builtin

So won't it be more comfortable to share these files using network?

Thought I'd share my experience getting FreeDos working on my "new"
machine. None of the official FreeDos installation methods liked its CD
drive, and its USB port wasn’t bootable, so I had to find another way to
install FreeDos. This is what worked for me. I’m sure there are other and

My ongoing saga of trying to get networking up on FreeDos - I decided to

Looking at my BIOS settings, it looks like this board does support PXE
boot. I'm not familiar with PXE, so I'll have to read up on it. I had also
thought about installing Linux and FreeDos in separate partitions with a
dual boot and seeing if that might solve my network issue under FreeDos.

Just an update to my network adapter issue. I gave up on it and moved on to
serial communications. I simply needed to be able to transfer files back
and forth between my Windows 10 laptop and my FreeDos machine. I am
successfully doing that using Kermit 3.14 on FreeDos and Kermit 95 on
Windows 10.

Thanks - yes, I did try ODI, but had the same results. Drivers install and
load ok, but no communication. It's time for me to move on, I think.

You have a good point. I'm ready to give up on this motherboard and find an
older (and cheap) desktop with appropriate card slots. Too bad - this board
has some things I wanted like serial, parallel, PS2, VGA, plus HDMI,
USB2/USB3, and SATA3.

If I may suggest something: maybe instead of trying to "rape" obviously
DOS-incompatible hardware it would be better idea to run FreeDOS on

I have seen this happen on OS/2 with porting Linux and FreeBSD NIC
drivers. The issue is that a small chip next to the main chips seems to
be wired up differently or different chip. You get NO DHCP lease on LAN.
Or when you set it to static no data traffic comes in out and out. The

Thanks, Tom - unfortunately, the motherboard I have available only has a
PCI Express slot (no PCI slots). I know Startech has a PCIe to PCI adapter
for $40, but then I would still need to buy a suitable PCI network card. I
don't really want to invest that much in this project. I've looked at a lot

If you don't mind spending money, there are adapters:
