Hi! If I have to guess: If your CF is at least a POTENTIAL boot device, the BIOS may add it to the list of harddisks for which no DOS drivers are required. If it is not, then it is just some plug and play device which may come and go and for which you would probably have to find appropriate DOS drivers to let DOS handle the coming and going properly. Similar things happen with USB flash sticks: If you boot from them, they may behave like internal harddisks, but if you do not, or if you remove one stick and plug another stick while DOS is already running, DOS and/or the BIOS may not notice the "disk change", causing all sorts of problems. Regards, Eric
OK, apparently the PCMCIA -> CF adapter must be added to the BIOS boot list. Otherwise FreeDOS doesn't detect it. So everything is fine, 100% functional. Can someone explain to me why I have to add it to the boot list in the BIOS? I don't want it to try to boot from the adapter. If you can give me a website to read, that'll be enough for me.
