Best would be to setup networking on your FreeDOS OS. Does Parallels come with an ethernet adapter of any kind? If so, and if you're lucky, you might find a packet driver that will fit.

Re: [Freedos-user] Help Using FreeDOS1.1
I see. In such case my suggestion about finding a packet driver to set up networking might be the good way to go - providing this Parallels hypervisor allows to emulate a network card that a packet driver exists for.. If believing loose information I find on internet, Parallels emulates a rtl8029 NIC, therefore using a packet driver for it sounds very doable.

What I do for ESXi (VMWare's hypervisor) is to use the CD-ROM in FreeDOS. I can either mount an iso file as the CD-ROM (which is what I usually do) or mount the physical CD-ROM. Maybe Parallels allows something similar. -- ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

Does it even officially support DOS at all? (Wikipedia says Parallels Desktop 8 does.) A quick search shows this: How to install MS DOS 6.22 using Parallels Desktop for Mac http://kb.parallels.com/en/113442 I've tried to use a browser , but there is no on freedos .

Maybe setup an FTP server and swap files via that (see VBox guide below). Any help Using FreeDOS would be appreciated. At risk of giving you redundant advice (and making you download yet another 100 MB), have you tried VirtualBox? At least, some of us here have more experience with it (and FreeDOS). At least a packet driver and networking works there for me. http://lazybrowndog.net/freedos/virtualbox/ Note that I know it's probably better to get Parallels working, but if you can't do that, then for simplicity, if you can afford the bandwidth, a suitable workaround might be to just use VirtualBox instead. At least for now. -- ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
