Hi g. W.
Writing with a question, and an answer to your USB keyboard situation.
For the record, I am typing with one, right now, in DOS which is the only
operating system on my computer.
However, which leads to the question.
My BIOS has USB support, and at first that was enough to run the keybo
Eric,
You are welcome...given your focus has nothing to do with the question
though I will skip the rest.
The question, for as a reminder, is if freedos has the ability to
simulate a serial port, if the person intends to use a USB device, i. e.
their computer has no serial port.The answer was
This is more of an fyi than an answer to anything. During the Vietnam

Hi!
Actually, many reasonably new computers supported the following:
- boot from USB storage devices (flash sticks, SD cards in card

Eric,
To prevent anyone from trying one of your suggestions, the dectalk
software is *very* legally copyright protected. While that project exists, it
cannot be used for software work in any operating system, Linux or
anything else without permission. something I imagine is stated on GitHub.
