Hi, I discovered FreeDOS yesterday. I downloaded both the ISO and the floppy images.
I'm trying to install it on an old system with virgin SCSI disks (recently low-level formatted). The CD-ROM is also SCSI. The controller is a Tekram DC390 U3W, based on a Symbios logic chip. I have the DOS drivers for it, SYM8XX.SYS and SYMCD.SYS . However, if I use the DEVLOAD.EXE program to load them manually, SYMCD complains there isn't enough memory. SYM8XX loads, but doesn't appear to scan the SCSI bus at all. I tried loading them the conventional way by editing the boot floppy and creating a CONFIG.SYS, which was missing, and adding : DEVICE=A:\SYMBIOS\ASPI8XX.SYS DEVICE=A:\SYMBIOS\SYMCD.SYS But apparently the CONFIG.SYS on the boot floppy got completely ignored. Any help would be appreciated to get this Symbios controller to work. Without it, the machine can't see the rest of the content of the FreeDOS CD, so I can't install. Thanks. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
