Hi. Others have created a BIOS-flashing FreeDOS floppy, so I know it can be
done. Might be easiest to create a bootable USB flash fob drive, and boot from
that with your BIOS flashing software. Be aware that USB drives often get
recognized on DOS as the c: drive, through legacy mapping.

Once I saw "firmware" in the output, I start to wonder if this program requires
a dongle to operate. That was not uncommon for dictionary programs at the time,
and is still seen today with USB dongles. Did you run this software on MSDOS
previously, and did it require a hardware device?

Do you know which mirror site you were using at the time? It tells you on the
downloads page which mirror site it selected for you, and the two links
automatically use that mirror site. Perhaps that mirror site was having a
problem. Alternate sites (mirrors) are listed below.
I'll have to check

curious, does the rest of the FreeDOS site render correctly on Dillo? I use
standard HTML & CSS, but does Dillo have support for the CSS directives I'm
using?
I haven't had time to tinker with Dillo yet, but maybe you could
I have spotty Internet service right now (traveling, again) so I may have to
wait until tomorrow to post this on the FreeDOS web site. Sounds exciting!

Thanks for passing along the article, I hadn't heard about this. Sad news.
We're losing some big names in technology. I appreciated that the article
mentioned that Dennis's influence was as great as Steve Jobs, just less visible.
