[Freedos-user] Problem running a DOS game requiring EMS inside of VirtualBox

2012-09-20 Thread Louis Santillan
So I've been able to free up a larger block of UMB (143k) by adding "I=B000-B7FF I=BC00-BFFF I=C800-EFFF" to jemmex. However, fps fb pro 95 still finds 0k of the 8mb free ems. -L On Tue, Sep 18, 2012 at 12:21 PM, Rugxulo > wrote: > Hi, > > On Tue, Sep 18, 2012 at 12:39 PM, Ralf A. Quint > > wro

Eric, You probably already know this technique inside the Windows standard SMB on top of NETBIOS over TCP/IP. I've used network sharing to provide an LPT1 printer to the a DOS program. It was a Windows XP Home Edition with service pack 3, sp3, installed. This was outside any VM player's environ

The adventure continues... I used to think I knew DOS, etc., having gotten started with PCs in the 80s.  Even built a Novell network for a small college by trial and error plus occasional reading of manuals. But all that must have leaked out of this aging brain. The networkbook65.iso failed on

Hi! Here are some network boot disk images: http://veder.com/nwdsk/ http://www.netbootdisk.com/download.htm http://www.nu2.nu/bootdisk/ Somehow they seem not linked on http://www.freedos.org/links/ but that page also is shorter than I had remembered (with many "..." now?) > The networkbook65

Eric, Greatly appreciate your assistance. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the use of "boot disk images".  To me, this says "something.iso" for a CD boot image or "otherthing.ima" (VMWare says "otherthing.flp") for a floppy disk image.  The way I read netbootdisk.com, when its floppy is used to boo

Well, I've reached the conclusion that I can't get there from here.  Even with a seemingly bootable floppy image (using FreeDOS to format the VMWare Player blank floppy image specified in the vm's setting then copying netbootdisk.com's files to that floppy) I get stuck.  Boot hangs at the line

George, Where is the printer physically located? Is it an LPT port on the host PC? If so why not configure VMWare to use a physical LPT port? Alternatively VMWare can be configured to send print information to a file which you could then send to a network printer from Windows. Dave
