I tried testing freedos my vm on virtualbox by using the redirect symbol > I thought if I could redirect a file ending with a null character(which my synthesizer needs) or carriage return I could see if the file was getting to my synthesizer. I had done similar tests with my macs terminal application. I tried the two following commands with no luck Type nulltest > aux1 echo nulltest > aux1 But when I typed ctty aux Which I had seen on a freedos webpage my synthesizer spoke in virtualbox in my vm freedos for the first time All it said was some xxx's And my computer hangs I did further tests, like I wrote Type nulltest > aux Doubletalk(my synthesizer) said a bunch of xxx's When I ran the mode command first mode com1: 9600,n,8,1 And then repeated the type command Type nulltest > aux Doubletalk said contents of nulltest file, which was some plain text lines each ending with a null character, which I created in text edit. A text editor on my mac. But when I reran test.com The test comes back that my doubletalk isn't working properly? I said all this because atleast I know my USB2serial adaptor can work with freedos running in virtualbox But I really want to be able to use some of the dos utilities that I have in my vm For instance I can play back music created for the doubletalk musical synthesizer. And I just got the developer tools and even thought of getting qbasic to fool around with programming my synthesizer. But I don't know why the test program isn't working Any help? > > Greg > > > - -- > web site: http://www.romuald.net.eu.org > gpg public key: http://www.romuald.net.eu.org/pubkey.asc > skype: gregn1 > (authorization required, add me to your contacts list first) > > - -- > Free domains: http://www.eu.org/ or mail [email protected] > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) > > iEYEARECAAYFAk5pTcAACgkQ7s9z/XlyUyD7JQCgynM9DJLFzCHKpSf+DL4iH8lL > vacAnRdS+LNPg28qwt774UjVxSbKhI1e > =gYMl > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Doing More with Less: The Next Generation Virtual Desktop > What are the key obstacles that have prevented many mid-market businesses > from deploying virtual desktops?
