DOS Emulator (which works on the Raspberry Pi) is indeed interesting. I have similar questions, (also connected the recent question from Stephanos:
>"I want to boot to freeDOS using a CD ROM. >Then I want to insert a memory stick into the computer and copy > a file from the Windows HDD onto >the memory stick. Is this possible and if so which version of freeDOS >do I use?“ I was trying to figure out how to use an USB Stick on a FreeDOS Harddisk installed system. This is absolutely crucial to me, otherwise how would I be able to get something out or in to the computer?? (I definitely don’t want networking!) My floppy-drive is … USB, too :( Maybe this has been discussed already - so my excuses. I am still scanning the mail archive… I just installed FreeDos on an ITX and harddisk. I can read and write on the disk and the Usb Stick, if I boot directly from the Stick. It doesn’t work the other way round, i.e. booting from the disk and trying to D: (=USB Stick) to read/write. Bret Johnsons USButils „driver.com“ shows me that dos recognises something, but not „enough“ to access when booted from the Disk. I formated the disk with FAT32. Maybe not good? Should it be FAT16? … (And I still need to read through Bret’s complete Doc. Maybe this will make me more clever… hey.) So: Would I have similar USB-issues using Freedos via EMU2 on a raspberry?? Maybe we need to find out, or has somebody already done that? (I care about using FreeDos, not the CPU or Bios or computer etc. Raspberry is nice, because small like FreeDOS!) regards, Thomas > Am 14.04.2021 um 14:52 schrieb Carsten Strotmann <cars...@strotmann.de>: > > Hi FreeDOS list, > > On 14 Apr 2021, at 14:25, Eric Auer wrote: > >> I am sure there are a variety of other ways to do >> what "nobody" has released yet ;-) > > one DOS Emulator (which works on the Raspberry Pi, as well as on almost all > Unix like systems) that I can recommend for non graphical text based programs > is EMU2 --> https://github.com/dmsc/emu2 > > EMU2 lets you execute DOS programs as if they are native > Linux/MacOS/OpenBSD/Raspbian programs.
