Microsoft has done such things deliberately. I had a Compaq server with dual slot Xeon CPUs. XP (with a 1-2 CPU license) could be installed but no matter what, was only going to be allowed to use ONE CPU. Manually forcing the multi CPU HAL to install during setup (or after) would make it crash.

With windows if your PC dies and you want to move to a dupicate and keep running - your out of luck. Windows ability to detect small changes is amazing - it just wants to stop. Win 7 is such a pain to deal with I think even DOS could beat it. Every time I install new software it wants to be reauthe

Several years ago I wrote everything I could find out about DOS and Wifi here: http://wiki.freedos.org/wiki/index.php/WiFi If anybody finds out more about it, please give some feedback... > On Wed, 19 Apr 2017 15:07:35 -0400 dmccunney > writes: >> On Wed, Apr 19, 2017 at 11:14 AM, Dale E Stern

Maybe the people who have produced the mini also wrote some software to make it useful. I like DOS I hope it moves foreward. Windows is so single PC oriented. I've tried moving windows to a twin PC - same everything and it somehow knew it was different and didn't want to run. DOS has no such proble

I see that someone on Ebay is selling an HP mini with a FREEDOS os installed. All the HP minis that I've seen have wifi & bluetooth built in. That would mean an 802.11 client to do it. The ad doesn't mention wifi or bluetooth but every mini that I've seen has it. cheers DS On Wed, 19 Apr 2017

Hello group, Not that long ago I announced here a new software I have created, named EtherDFS. EtherDFS is an 'installable filesystem' TSR for DOS. It maps a drive from a remote computer (typically Linux-based) to a local drive letter, using raw ethernet frames to communicate. Last weekend I r
