I have a box full of PCMCIA ethernet cards. If anyone could use one, I
could search them out and post a list.

DJGPP grep? Why not Xgrep? It's not as overpowered, but it works well

Hi Dan:
What are others using freedos for: business, curiosity, running retro
games and apps for fun, to avoid total dependence on the evil empire, or
something else?
I have an ancient heart rate monitor. Its computer interface uses DOS
software via a serial port!

Hi,
Can speak for no one but myself, to be sure.
Still, I run DOS exclusively, having no issues reaching the internet with
it, or this list smiles.
My situation is unique however.

A T43 running FreeDOS sounds like a good writing machine.

Evil empire? "Which one??" ;-) What evil are we escap
I've installed freedos because I'm writing my second novel, but I'm easily
distracted, so I wanted a machine with a decent word processor,
(Wordperfect 5.1) and no internet access or games to distract me. I have
deleted the games folder, but accidentally installed MS Word 5, which will
do the job.
I had FreeDOS running on a ThinkPad 701C, which used a 486 CPU.

As Bryan said, FreeDOS is a more modern version of DOS.
Also, FreeDOS is open source software. Very early versions of MS-DOS

Hello,
I'm following this list and find it very interesting. I found it when I
was trying to prepare myself to help a friend whose business in built
around a DOS app. It's clear that many/most/all? have access to other
computers and OSes. This would be obvious if only because one needs

I would be seriously surprised. Windows refuses to *format* drives above 32GB
as FAT32, but simply
works with it up to maximum capacity of (2^32 * sectorsize) which is usually
2TB.

Hi Eric,
First…
The Standard Install Media (CD, USB, LiveCD, etc) require a 386 or better.
There are several reasons I have mentioned before why those require a 386. But
for those who may have missed or forgotten why those require a 386, these are
the primary reasons. USB did not exist on sub
