Which sound hardware options are supported by the two? Could we add one of them to the distro, assuming that their license is more distro-friendly than MPXPLAY? >>> how to access your FreeDOS virtual drive from Linux >> >> With DOSEMU2?

So mtools are great for quick access to images such as floppy images if you do not want to use "mount" and do not want to install larger tools like guestmount. Or are unable to use mount or install guestmount etc. > I assume by "episodes" you mean "articles"? I was thinking of podcasts or youtubes, distracted by your other mail about the youtube channel :-) Eric > The upcoming article about Mplayer and OpenCP is 800+ words, > including a few short DOS command lines. _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
