Re: [Freedos-user] Anyone know why 386 enhanced mode doesn't work Windows 3.1???

Hi Jim, I disagree with your No, but you could say it is stable enough statement. The kernel needs to work reliably. Today, we have two branches of the FreeDOS kernel: 2036 stable, and 2037 devel (unstable). That shouldn’t be ok, yet somehow we’ve convinced ourselves this is acceptable.

To be honest, since Jeremy disappeared I have little hope that there will be a 2039 unstable. I assume that 2039 will instead be a 2038 with some 2037 backport parts added, 2040 will have some more, and so on, until the rest of unstable can hibernate around in peace, waiting for anybody who

Com1/3 and 2/4 share the same irq. If you want to use them simultaneously, you'll need to change the irq they use. This would make them non-standard, but there are programs that can add com 3-4 to your bios port table area, and thus make them viewable by normal dos apps. I used to have
