On 24 pin Epson printers, you can print graphics as fast as printing text. there is a special mode where consecutive high definition dots cannot be on, which is the text mode printing trick... But I believe that even if you use the more universal mode, it will be fast enough, specially if compa

I completly disagree. Just today I installed FreeDOS on a brand new Asus board with SATA2 a gigabit ethernet chip. Simple: go to www.netbootdisk.com and create a floppy. After it boots and detects the NIC, copy it's driver including packet driver. Easy... The truth is that if you have an appli

inserting the file you want in the image is an option, if it fits... The "normal" way is to create a floppy with a CD driver, test it, use it a boot image and write the files as normal CD content. After boot the cd driver will have been loaded and the CD content will be available as D: (or what

Re: [Freedos-user] Installing FreeDOS without the boot loader?

This explanation by Eric Auer may be a little confusing, but note one thing: This is for having *both FreeDOS and Win98 in the same partition* but I am not sure if that is what was asked. In any case, I found very interesting this dual method :) Alain Em 14-06-2010 17:37, Eric Auer escreveu: >

Re: [Freedos-user] Installing FreeDOS without the boot loader?

Hi FreeDOS does not need anything from the Win98 partition to boot. The requisites are: 1) it must boot from a primary partition 2) the partition needs to be active. Windows98 have the same requisites, that is the problem. But it can be solved by Grub.. This is how I did it: # This entry for F
