Hi Joseph and list,
this is an amazing community, and I would like to say thank you for
all the valuable help I am getting here. Since this is a process of
playful learning for me, all your responses have been most welcome,
and all have been useful to different degrees and in different areas.

Dear FreeDOS community,
it's great to be here, and amazing that a project such as FreeDOS
exists, preserving access to some of the greatest software ever
written.

in assistive technology, and I was born blind. In my spare time I

Thank you for your helpful suggestions! While they may ultimately come
in handy if all else fails, I was actually hoping, coming from
operating system A, that I would not have to familiarize myself with
operating system C first in order to then use operating system B. In
fact, since I

Which is exactly why I'd love to boot natively into DOS, but as soon
as I do this, my accessibility provisions break down. This is why I
sometimes tend to sound like a grumpy old accessibility evangelist
ranting about how everything is so much more complicated just because

Hi!
The C: drive does not map directly to a folder on your host machine.
What I would suggest, because it worked great for me, is that you
create an ISO image containing your files then mount that to your VM
as a CD ROM.
Note that files you copy off of CD ROM in the DOS context will have

Hi,
you may use the boot screen blind, with VoiceOver on the Mac. You can
start it with cmd+f5.

Hello Joseph,
I'm loving your live image!
However, I'm unsuccessfully trying to find the place in fdauto.bat or
fdconfig.sys where it loads asap, because maybe I'd like to replace
asap with hal for kicks, or giggles, or both.
Could you please enlighten me?

Hello everyone,
I'd like to report that I got FreeDOS to work, and speak to me, from a
virtual machine using a speech synthesizer emulator on the host,
thanks to Joseph's kind help in the form of valuable advice and a
great live image with ASAP. I was also able to get files into the VM

Hello everyone!
I am blown away, in the most positive sense of the word, by the
fruitful discussion my original post seems to have sparked, or
rekindled. For this discussion to have its heated moments is only
natural as emotions, passions and frustrations are involved.

Hello dear community!
It's been a long time since I contributed here. Some of you might
remember me as a blind text adventure enthusiast trying to get very
old DOS text games to run in a blind-accessible manner. Long story
short, I made it.
Long story long: Joseph Norton put together a FreeDOS
Yay! I knew why I posted here. That's exactly the kind of data I'm collecting.
I'm going to try and create a FreeDOS bootable flash drive with the
help of Rufus or some such, and put a screen reader on it. Then I'm
going to dig out my old Juno speech synthesizer, connect it to COM1 of

Hello!
If the pc speaker is alright with you, try Piano Man by Neil J. Rubenking.
