From: Tom Ehlert as usual. urgent problem. even 'Solver of this problem will be rewarded with 500$.' a lot of more or less helpful messages exchanged. then all of sudden the original poster vanishes, without any feedback if all the given advice helped, or not, and how he solved his problem (or not). after wasting our time this is not nice behaviour.

Re: [Freedos-user] Ynt: Y
From: Eric Auer Hi Salih! Do you boot virtualbox with PXE and MEMDISK? Or do you configure virtualbox to use the img file as "normal floppy drive A: content"? As mentioned earlier using, PXE and MEMDISK can have side effects, for example less RAM free for HIMEM and EMM386. Also, try if things work better without EMM386. You can use F8 during boot to skip some config items once, without having to make a new img file. This can help with testing... Another idea is to install MEM on your img! Then you can use MEM with different options to learn more about your available memory. You can see differences which explain why KEYB fails to load.

From: Tom Ehlert > On physical machine any of keyboard layouts not work. In Virtualbox every keyboard layout is working. > > We think real machine memory side has a problem with loading keyb.exe. there is a tool called MEM.EXE where you can detect if KEYB is loaded or not. it may be as well that MEM gets loaded, but your BIOS or hardware does not behave as KEYB is expecting it. to debug your problem: reduce FDCONFIG.SYS to !SHELL=A:\COMMAND.COM A:\ /E:2048 /F /MSG /P=A:\FREEDOS\FDAUTO.BAT and FDAUTO.BAT to DISPLAY con=(EGA,857,1) mode con codepage prepare=((857) A:\FREEDOS\EGA.CPX) mode con codepage select=857 NLSFUNC /Y A:\DRIVER\COUNTRY.SYS KEYB.exe tr,857,A:\FREEDOS\keybrd2.sys /id:179 or possibly even KEYB.exe tr,857,A:\FREEDOS\keybrd2.sys /id:179 are you able to produce turkish characters? if not, you are runnning interesting hardware. no way to debug this over the internet, you have a real problem. you may try if MKEYB behaves differently. MKEYB GR should swap 'Y' and 'Z'.
