For Windows users, I would recommend VirtualPC or VMWare. I've recently done some experimenting with VirtualBox, but not on Windows. A perfect setup is FreeDOS + Linux (f.e. Ubuntu with DOSEMU installed ;-). Bye Flo -

Hello everybody ;) I´m new to this list and hoping you can help me or at least tell me what´s wrong ... We wanted to run FreeDOS on a specialized, embedded system (AMD Geode processor, manufactured by Digital Logic) for other versions of DOS (MS-DOS and DR-DOS) do run very well on these systems,

Hi Maurice, which version of FreeDOS did you install on CF? You probably want a small version such as the fdbasecd or the rugxulo.googlepages.com diskette distro :-). Did you test with other DOS versions? Maybe the BIOS of the embedded system only has slow drivers for CF. It might assume that

Hi Jim, that it's so small and doesn't require a lot of memory. And the nice thing about using emulators is that you don't have to reboot to run that one application that requires FreeDOS to run it. I find that graphics mode usually runs a little slower under an emulator compared to
