I burned it (again, for newer version) to CD-RW, and it boots natively and works okay on my laptop and desktop. Mpxplay and networking don't work, though, due to hardware incompatibility, unfortunately, but that's no surprise. Blocks game runs much smoother and faster natively than under VBox emulation (buggy/slow mouse polling ??). And yes, it boots fine in VirtualBox 4.1.16 atop Win7 Home Premium (Win64) for me (with VT-X enabled, but I'm not sure if that's necessary). Mpxplay actually works there. Even Dillo will work, *BUT* the Settings menu doesn't correctly load the included AMD PCNET driver, probably (??) because its cmdline syntax is different: pcntpk INT=0x60. Oh, and I have to manually edit wattcp.cfg to make myip = dhcp first. Then Dillo works excellently (see shot below). http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/7/vboxdilo.jpg/ http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/6605/vboxdilo.jpg P.S. I tried to make it an interesting screenshot, but I'm sure others can come up with a better one. I'd be interested in what you guys can come up with.

The ISO is an ElTorito CD using FAT16 hard disk emulation. BIOS has no problem booting from that. I did expect users to write the ISO image to a (e.g. re-writeable) CD and boot from that. This should work well with your existing PCs also. Like above, I'm lazy hehe. The Zalman VE200/VE300 enclosures are able to represent ISO files as hardware DVD device if booting from USB. Same for the upcoming ISOSTICK [ http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/elegantinvention/isostick-the-optical-drive-in-a-usb-stick ] If you have instructions somewhere how to add my files to your FreeDOS 1.1 ISO and then make a new bootable ISO image from that I will give it a try. Since the BIOS and Bochs have no problems with my ISO image I did not expect problems with VMware and VirtualPC. I'd have to look up my IMGBURN settings for that, and analyse your CD layout as well. Saving that for when I got 3 weeks vacation, away from work.

Re: [Freedos-user] New XFDOS FreeDOS distribution
I had an old Qemu installation from 2010 on my Windows XP machine. This did work: http://nanox-microwindows-nxlib-fltk-for-dos.googlecode.com/files/XFDOS-Qemu-Screenshot.PNG It was quite fast too. Since XFDOS sets up an XMS disk, you need to configure 32 MB memory or more. Also for FLTK you have to select a graphics card that supports VESA or you get a black screen.

I'll have a look once in possession of ordered Zalman Ve200/300 and proper SSD to go in it, so I can test on real hardware. VMware at least still only shows a black screen on all of this. My intention is to have Win8 (Windows-to-go) on this external SSD, along with Syslinux 4.06 (NTFS) and plenty of ISO's including ofcourse various FreeDOS ISO's that people create (and FD 1.2 that I'm still very slowly working on).
