[Freedos-user] Example

Hello, Could somebody provide me with an example of an unedited "autoexec.bat" file that FreeDOS uses? I installed win98 on another (slave) hard-drive, but it added all these files to "C" drive and edited my "autoexec.bat" file. It really made me mad because I just wanted to have the win98 as a

Hey, I'm not sure if I can post this here, but I seem to have hit a small roadblock (but I don't know where it is). My main goal is to have an easily accessible meter and feet converter. When I use FBide to compile and run, it comes up with no errors. But when it runs, I put in "a" or "b" and th

Re: [Freedos-user] Freedos-user Digest, Vol 635, Issue 1

--- Was the printer both plugged in and powered on? The most likely problem is that you have more than one USB host controller. If you simply do a "USBUHCI" or "USBUHCIL" to install the driver for the USB host controller, it will only install the driver for the first host controller (Index 0).

Re: [Freedos-user] Freedos-user Digest, Vol 635, Issue 1

--- Your problem is that that you're using a USB printer, rather than a parallel port printer. MS never added USB support to DOS, even though they actually continued to make DOS for several years after USB came out (mid-1990's). No version of DOS today has "native" support for USB (printers, mice

[Freedos-user] Printer Setup, again

So I've been hearing that DOS needs no drivers for a printer. Well, it's not working for me. If it helps, I have an HP printer. It's not that new, and connects via USB, but other than that, that's all I know. I have no idea what to do. And telling me that it's not going to work unless you do som

Hey, I was wondering how you get the drivers for the other cards in a comp that used to run something else, but now runs FreeDOS. For example: how do you find the sound card manufacturer to get a driver? Or for any other drivers? Is there an easy program like NICSCAN ( http://www.georgpotthast.
