Hello Travis, Ok, odd question, (lots of emulation), but I've got ubuntu 20.04 running under win10, using wsl.  I can't seem to get dosemu installed under that version of ubuntu (though it works fine under a real ubuntu system I have).  When I try to install dosemu under the ubuntu 20.04 running

Re: [Freedos-user] how to get dosemu working under ubuntu installed in wsl

You can also do that with qemu: -drive format=raw,file=fat:rw:$HOME/shared The QEMU docs state that the FAT is created at startup - so any new files added on the linux side won't appear to DOS after booting However, new files created from DOS will update the in-memory FAT and thus appear to DOS

Re: [Freedos-user] How to add AHCICD.sys in the auto check-list for US B BOOT?

Might it be possible to use DEVLOAD in AUTOEXEC.BAT instead of needing to load AHCICD.SYS in CONFIG.SYS? You can do "automatic" IF/THEN things in AUTOEXEC.BAT but you really can't in CONFIG.SYS. In addition, though, you will probably need some kind of utility that can detect whether AHCI is ev

I use the ONE USB BOOT stick for two laptops (only one has an optical drive). I was able to recognize the optical drive by simply putting AHCICD.sys into the \FreeDOS\BIN\ folder (on the USB stick) and for the laptop with the optical drive, the system boots up nicely. However, because I want to
