Johnson Lam has posted an updated 23-Sep-2011 DRIVERS.ZIP file, with all UIDE drivers improved, on his website at --
<http://johnson.tmfc.net/dos/driver.html> UIDE-S now runs 30 BIOS disks/diskettes and 8 CD/DVD drives, and it also sets the "UIDE$" default name when no CD/DVD drives are found, making it more "identical" to the full UIDE. FreeDOS "autoloader" scripts could now use UIDE-S, if they can otherwise deal with XMS memory. I am still unable to "fit" /N3 switch logic (87 more bytes) in a 7.5K-size UIDE-S! UIDE2 now leaves the entire 4608-byte driver (exactly 4.5K!) in upper or DOS memory, when its /HL switch is given. /HL thus allows a 280-MB HMA cache for V7.10 MS-DOS and 425-MB+ for other DOS systems -- My own V6.22 MS-DOS can set 600-MB reliably (used to CRASH above 585-MB)! The 25-MB larger cache may help V7.10 MS-DOS users, and perhaps others, who want a "faster" cache for protected mode. UIDE2 is also back to 34 BIOS units and 8 CDs/DVDs, "same as UIDE" like before! UIDE and UIDEJR have "minor" size reductions, and all other drivers have merely been re-dated to 23-Sep-2011 for consistency, as always. I hope protected-mode users like the new UIDE2. Except for differences in doing "protected caching", it is now "identical" to UIDE in features, still fits in a 7.5K file, and UIDE2 is one of my best drivers ever! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable. Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes sense of it. IT sense. And common sense. http://p.sf.net/sfu/splunk-d2dcopy2 _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
