Hi,
personally I would like to see 'quarterly' updates instead of 1.3 >>> 1.4
you could have 1.3a, 1.3b etc every quarter this would mean people would
have more access to fixes at a quicker pace. On the whole as the updated
and fixes hit it would be nice to have some documentation somewhere where
Yeah after scratching my head on this one I think I will try a different
approach to the system. The screen is USB which isn't ideal in DOS unless
you do Windows/DOS (9x etc) but that's not FreeDOS.
I will look at another way to get the plan working.

Does it have the a BIOS option for boot sector protection as this can lock
the MBR sectors of the hard disk?

Hi Jim,
Yeah I do remember some decades ago there was a touch device I cannot
for the life of me remember what it was called though it was rudimentary
touch interface for point of sale systems. I was wondering if in the years
since if there had been any drivers for DOS since :-)

It's a Elcon generic touch screen.

Hi,
Does anyone know of a touch driver so where I tap on a screen the mouse
registers a left click? I have been looking to see if it's possible but
have come up empty so was wondering if it's possible.

Hi Jim,
Please post a link to the completed book when it's ready as I would like
to buy it I am always interested about reading about the DOS days and have
many fond memories of that time from DOS 2.0 onwards.

Very good explanation, I'm hoping these findings make it to the release
build of FreeDos as it will bring in more users if internet is available
after all we all love tinkering with it and DOS does make it much easier 🙂

Jim,
thanks for this guide. Is there any major differences between FreeDOS
and MSDOS under the hood. I did notice differences in DosBOX as this has
the SVGA drivers built in so you can use high definition modes upto
1024x768 in 256 colours iirc.

Hi,
I think a more suitable way would be to check for the default date (1st
Jan 1980 iirc) and if it is that date request a new date :)

I remember GW-Basic being in one of the first IBM XT machines on rom.
Doom originally was released on MSDOS :)

Hi,
I remember using Turbo Pascal and Turbo C back in the day (still use it
now), also Lotus 123 and Dbase 3 :)
Ah the memories :)
Still use Turbo C++ 3 as it's output is faster than open watcom C's
compiled code.

I'm sure you could wrap those system calls in a executable or batch file to
make the process more friendly :)

DOS can have. GUI like Linux with things like Windows 3.x, or even the
Windows 95/98 were on top of a DOS system.

Weirdly enough the cludge I posted doesn't work on newest virtual box and
freedoms for some reason. It does work on dosbox 0.74 (newest one). Maybe
the rendering has changed somewhere :/

Try this as an example http://www.edzup.co.uk/images/EVGAMODE.zip
Usage: EVGAMODE [mode]
where mode is either 640x480, 800x600 or 1024x768. If you use CLS it will
return to the previous resolution as the mode is just a temporary change :).

Technically it would put the screen into a VGA/SVGA resolutions so text
output would be in that resolution till you used CLS when it would return
back to the original resolution.
There is also high Res text mode.

Hi,
To be fair this seems like a very good idea mainly because any barriers
to FreeDOS use and acceptance should be removed and this seems like a
reasonably easy thing to do as it already is there.
