would use something else save for the sound card.
Still, I am sorry for my response, you were in a line of others.

Well, you had given me good advice, and I was trying to be supportive of your
point that people have reasons for what they do and I shouldn't feel compelled
to make them feel imbecillic for making the choices they made.

Understood.

Speaking very personally, The choice to define emotion to an email post is
just that, the choice of the reader.
I do not write people privately on list, without asking for their
consent list first.
When others write me privately without invitation, from a mailing list, it
is still list intended
No, I send emails only on list.
I have no idea how things present for You, but I never write anyone off list

That is your opinion, from your lived experience.

Hello.
Let me stick my nose in...
MS-DOS, PC-DOS, FreeDOS today is for thoses who want, need or want to play.
My first pc was a 286 IBM, still have it and it's my pride and joy... don't
use it since 2004.
In my case is for gaming, i asked here about the speaker on laptops and is

Why should someone not using your technology decide what is *modern* for

Hi Michael,
with great interest I was reading your thoughts about DOS.
Let me add from my personal experience:
The tech gap between DOS (FREEDOS) and WINDOWS/MAC honestly made me going back
and forth between those OS options.
I tried to make up my mind in the following way: What do I get fr
I absolutely respect those choices.
I feel reasonably certain that allot of you hare are not managing my
combination of experiences leading to my choices.
I do not expect anyone to follow my path, you are not me.
it surprises me though that others expect me to follow yours, when I am
not you.
I'm just kind of amazed at what I read here at times.
It is no secret that DOS is no longer a mainstream operating system. As a
result, support for it on physical hardware is minimal, if it is supported
at all. Modern machines are just not intended to be used with DOS as the
primary, "bare metal
platform, speaking
personally, why are you here?
Best,
Karen

Hi Liam,
I have a question about this advice?
granted, I have made no secret of my using, having specific computers
built to construct DOS, rather than simply choosing older hardware.
Perhaps that care makes a difference.

No, it won't.
But in my limited testing, what I found that might is this:
Install DOS onto a USB key, and boot from that, not from a HDD par
Hi Damon,
Just want to ask a couple of quick questions.
First, likely this is yes, the bios for your machine does support USB?
Second, does the USB Dos tools you tried include the DOS driver made by
Panasonic?
