Hi folks,
Here is why I am asking.
As many may recall I run msdos 7.1 instead of freedos for several personal
reasons.
I recently had a new machine built, just before Christmas, which also
included my installing an external dectalk card, I have an ISA slot, the
ling kind on this board.
While the synthesizer works well, using it to support my writing this
message, I have an odd problem.
The dectalk software has a conflict that seems to impact cdrom drives, or
the driver provided by Microsoft.
It is more than addresses, dectalk provides a way to locate a free one,
user guides for both dectalk 4.1, what I am running, and 4.2 reference the
driver issue.
The suggested solution did not work..however I need a cd rom drive for
scores of reasons.
leading to my question.
Often on list I have read that freedos is in many ways better than MS DOS,
with programs able to run under freedos.
I now have a chance to test that theory, swapping in the cd rom driver
freedos provides as a test?
my driver again is not specific to my cd rom..never has been.
Instead I use the basic driver supplied with ms dos 7.1, never having a
problem until now.
What does Freedos provide with that kind of universal flexibility?
Thanks,
Kare
