It was actually LFN of which I was thinking when I replied to the initial email.  I know dos *can* handle long file names, but it doesn't do so by default, and requires drivers/TSRs to be loaded to assist in this process. But, since it's obviously taboo to make a mistake, I'll happily keep my

In times when someone is trying to help, it's always best to give them the benefit of the doubt, and politely correct where they went wrong. Thank you. On 11/3/2022 5:53 AM, tom ehlert wrote: Hallo Herr Travis Siegel, am Donnerstag, 3. November 2022 um 10:46 schrieben Sie: Dos doesn't hand

Re: [Freedos-user] Can't see USB stick

Thanks, Travis: Dos doesn't handle fat32 devices by default. Via a card-reader, I plugged an old FAT16 CompactFlash memory card into my FreeDOS PC. FreeDOS recognised that as drive D:. So I was able to copy my data file to that memory card. And similarly I then plugged that into my Ubuntu P

Re: [Freedos-user] Can't see USB stick
