I discovered a bug in newly compiled command.com from cvs.
Redirected output to a file isn't possible.
"echo test>r:\test.txt" gives error "unable to redirect output to file
r:\test.txt".
r: is a mapped ramdrive by xmsdsk.exe
By using last version from fdos.org (dated 21.05.2006) there is no error
I already have the kernel build 2036 installed together with command.com
0.84pre2.
But redirecting to a file really doesn't work (see my previous post)
If I install kernel build 2035w and command.com 0.84pre everything
works. It even works by using kernel build 2036 together with
command.com 0.84pr
That works for all newer bioses that have usb boot support.

Did someone try PloP Bootmanager.
Looks good from its description and it will soon be able to boot from
usb, too.

Hi all,
At first thanks to all for your mails. This shows you are still ready
for a normal discussion, as Eric has already mentioned in the last thread.
That's because I think it would be a good idea to start a new thread for

It works fine for floppys and ramdisks (srdisk and xfdisk).
Great work, Blair.

It only works if I completely disable EMM386.

Yes, it does.
Keep in mind, that you load these shared folder drivers included in VPC
2004 before any emm386 in config.sys.
Otherwise you will get an exception error.
