[Freedos-user] Re : Support for 4k byte sectors + PLoP
test kernel supporting 4KB sectors, note it limits buffers to 2 to avoid memory corruption on boot. Thanks for testing, By an extraordinary coincidence - I am not making this up ! I received mail from PLoP's developer today, a short time after I had posted the following note to this list : A PLoP boot diskette would've been ideal for this, EXCEPT... PLoP does not support other than 512 byte sectors on USB hard disks, at the moment. Strike that out ! The great news is a new version of PLoP is available for download from http://www.plop.at/en/bootmngrusblog.html now *including /experimental/ support for 4K sectors ! * N.B. Be warned the author writes he doesn't think it works well or has a future. Caveat emptor, then. Also of note, PLoP's license has changed it is now free for use including commercial. Donations will be accepted still? Please watch what Elmar had to say about the change (at the above URL). -- Czerno -- Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!

Please watch what Elmar had to say about the change (at the above URL). The donation button is quite well hidden, and seems restricted to Paypal only. Vendors like ShareIt(.com) seem to work pretty well if he wants to sell stuff, it even offered the iDeal payment system that's common in the Netherlands (we're not a creditcard culture, sorry). I tend to pay for low-cost quality software if no equal free solution exists. Windows and VMware Workstation have been my most expensive purchases, followed by some collector editions of various games. Bernd -- Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!

I wished to draw attention on the fact that donations from happy users, companies as well as individuals are still accepted.

I would gladly donate for PLoP, weren't I deprived of any salary, benefit or whatever income. In any event I'm going to try Elmar's experimental build and shall report the results. -- Czerno -- Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
