I tried to read that, but honestly, with the mistakes and factual errors in the page, I got distracted. Can you summarise what you are trying to do? My impression is: [1] attach CF card to Vbox VM as its hard disk – yes, that should work. I describe how to do that onto a USB key in my tech blog, here: https://liam-on-linux.livejournal.com/50416.html [2] install DOS onto CF card — OK, easy [3] move CF card to vintage PC and use it – OK, easy What is the problem and where is it going wrong? What make/model of 80286, just out of interest? Considered putting a cheap USB floppy drive onto your Win10 machine? -- Liam Proven ~ Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk ~ gMail/gTalk/FB: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/LinkedIn: lproven ~ Skype: liamproven UK: (+44) 7939-087884 ~ Czech [+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal]: (+420) 702-829-053 _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
